The length of time to tone depends on the method and environment. Many of the toned Morgans you see today sat in bags for many decades before they...
I'm with @Hiddendragon ...the mail is still inconsistent at this point and there is no reason to rush to judgment. Worst case scenario, eBay will...
Yes those "Brilliant Uncirculated" labels are usually dealer bulk submissions. They either want them all like this (it's cheaper that way) or have...
Hungary has some great coins too. I eventually plan to pick up something Hungarian (it's outside the direct scope of the ex-Soviet nations set but...
It was in the original packaging when I received it and there was no haze. I don't know what could have been done before it arrived. I do think...

This one was a big disappointment. It is part of my ex-Soviet nations set and I sent it in to NGC back in April (delivered 4/28/21). Today...
@yakpoo I stand corrected...above is an example of a lower purity ballerina that you must have been describing in my thread
MS 65 ....a bit blurry but looks nice; older holder, so I will go a bit more conservative
I knew we could count on your love token knowledge LordM!
That's cool but I'm equally stumped. @lordmarcovan any ideas?
Sorry to hear about the long distance; hopefully you will be reunited in the near future. As far as the "another entrant" comment, yes it is a...
That is a nice looking set! One thing I like about many of the Russian coins is that they clearly state the weight and purity of gold.
I've seen the ballerina coins and once owned a silver version. They are nice! By low-carat, do you mean purity of gold? From what I have seen, the...
Another new entrant to the set, here we have Armenia represented. Coins from Armenia aren't as hard to find since there are plenty of the Noah's...
