I'm sorry but it is true. Any scratch, any hairline, they all displace metal. And that displaced metal doesn't just magically disappear, it has to...
Not necessarily always true. Post strike scratches and hairlines create both raised lines and incuse lines. And of course so do die polish lines....
It's very easy. As I have said before about that very picture - they are not all die polish lines. Some of those lines are the result of dies...
No it isn't, it is done by a machine. And the same basic method has been used since the 1800's. The machines of today are more modern of course...
Yeah they do, and it makes perfect sense that they do when you understand something that a lot of folks seem to miss or simply don't think about...
Did ya miss the part where I said it's debatable ? And Mike, if you read the rest of my post, I do explain what I mean and why I said what I...
The coin market, for both US and world coins, going up doesn't have anything to do with the pandemic as both have been going up since before there...

It's easy to figure if you understand how things work. For one, there are these things called cache files on computers, files that are stored and...
Uhhh - it was actually edited 1 minute before yours was edited. [ATTACH] And this post of yours was edited for repeating the same offense....
Sorry but moving posts just doesn't work that way. Posts can be moved to a new thread, but not to an existing thread.
That would probably get you close but I seriously doubt that slabs are made with a high degree of precision when it comes to weight. In other...
In my response above I should have added that when weighing coins it is always necessary to check your scale and make sure it is calibrated...
You were right to begin with John - toning and verdigris are completely different things. The thing the two have in common is that they are both...
But in this case it refers to the graphs from the best known TPG there is that track the daily values of Morgan and Peace dollars as a whole. So...
You can find all kinds of things for specific, given coins. But the trend for Morgan and Peace dollars in general, taken as a whole, that's a...
You can try and get it graded if you like, but it could go either either way as sometimes they will cleanly grade shipwreck coins when if it were...
