I agree with part of what you're saying, but I disagree with other parts. For example, if someone places a liquid or powders on a coin to force it...
OK, fair enough. But what you apparently don't understand though, or misunderstand, is that there is nothing you can do to neutralize or stop that...
You choose to use the word elevation while I simply say that toning progresses (increases) as time passes, and yes, thus changes to a different...
I'm not really sure I understand what you mean by that question. If I understand the first part of your post correctly, you're saying that you...
Quite true. And one must also keep in mind that there people out there, more than a few of them, who are paid big money by large dealers and...
We have to keep in mind that the same thing happens to naturally toned coins. Natural toning is a progressive process, it doesn't just start,...
What the heck ? It's fairly simple, and to be expected in most cases - because the two companies do not use the same grading standards. Each and...
True - with the key word being some. True again, but again only in some cases. If a coin is artificially toned by applying a liquid, powders,...
And that's as true as it gets. I have tried to explain for decades that the only difference between NT and AT is intent, but there are always...
I'm not really qualified to say yeah they are or no they're not. I agree the pics seem to be clear but at he same time I also know just how much...
Yeah well, I actually have been known to track down members from time to time and meet with them face to face - and with Larry, @ldhair more than...

No it doesn't. That's because encapsulation cam mean any of several things. It can mean it: crossed, got a higher grade, a lower grade, or was...
It was indeed, and it was a massive failure. As the saying goes a picture speaks a thousand words - [IMG] That huge spike you see at 1989 was...
Congrats ! I'd say you found yourself a nice one there as it's often difficult to find one with a strike that nice !
Ahhh, if only it were possible :( But, as pretty much everybody knows - they didn't have dates back then.
I was always fond of the French designs from the 1300's on and had many of them. One of my favorites were the Louis 14th child designs as he was...
Why ? The shop isn't doing anything wrong or unethical in any way, and they are not the one setting the price ! Whoever is doing the bidding is...
Is that not the goal of every business there is ? I readily agree it's very sad that that is true. Those who buy all the coins on TV are prime...
Did you read post #2 and click on the link ? Granted, that only lists the authorized bulk buyers of bullion coins. As for listing bulk buyers of...
