I've always wondered how do you properly dip or clean a coin (only if it's an obvious situation to do of course)? Curious, might this be your Bay...
Wow, that is quite a statement you just made. Obviously you think I'm being honest and that I appreciate your confidence in what I say. So what...
Well exactly and you know how the old saying goes "you buy the coin, not the slab". I'm finding this more and more obvious as I purchase online....
You should see some of the winners I have slabbed in SEGS holders. I bought a 1926 Sesquicentennial Half in MS-65 recently in a SEGS holder and it...
I need to post more photos of their capsules. Many here would gain new respect for their talent. Remember SEGS is not SGS. SGS is probably the...
Sure I know what luster is. There is dark luster which looks smooth but has a deep glow to it. Basically that's what a lot of these MS-66 or 67 BN...
Believe it or not I think PCGS and NGC are worse these days and overgrade more in fact! I have coins from PCGS and NGC that I know were cleaned...
Doubt a dipping ever took place on the last two photos posted because the clock (look for a small circle) on the reverse wouldn't be so well...
So what do you think? XF-45 or XF-40? I would mind it coming back that as those grades are lower population. I think the better reverse detail...
The cotton too is an issue as it may give off fibers onto the coin or could cause minor hairlines when held should the fingers make their way not...
You have a point here as the coin looks at least a bit more attractive in hand.
That's another interesting statement you've made but I'm not sure I totally agree with you on it (yet). From my experience it's perfectly normal...
That's an interesting perspective and one that is quite valid. I would agree totally based on your comment if the rim issues are even more...
Really more percentage profit will be made in coins most people can afford. From what I've been told you should try to make 4 times your money or...
Seems big money has subverted everything sacred in this country, especially the rule of law. If you have enough money you could force Barack Obama...
The coin has a somewhat polished look throughout and also the color looks very different (a dull silvery white) on the highest points of the bear....
More angles of this coin for your perspective. I'm focusing on the areas potentially suspicious.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH].
I think the rim damage would "details" grade this regardless by any grading service worth a rat's behind (hope this doesn't get me moderator...
I'd give you a cheese sandwich for it, no Swiss though. :hilarious:
