Good point. I was just trying to bring up something for discussion. I tend to agree with what Troll said.
I'll play devil's advocate here......if dipping a coin is "wrong" because is changes the surfaces of the coin by stripping a very small layer of...
Excellent results. I have had some good luck removing contaminants and haze from proofs with similar methods. Make sure the coin is...
I would personally pass on it. The coin looks like it has been lacquered to me.
If I remember correctly, NGC once graded a 14-D (maybe an 09-S VDB) and the D eventually fell off and was floating around in the holder. I think...

This was destined to happen. With PCGS advertising this reward early in the year, they were basically enticing a Mint employee to "accidently"...
That doesn't suprised me at all that the coin is in a MS-62 holder. Certainly market grading at its best (or worst.....however you look at it)....
