NGC now slabs rolls! [IMG]
It's my crappy camera. I have two lights shining right on it! When ever the coin gets brighter, my camera dims it down.
Why does it seem like only mint state and au coins produce lustrous toning? Take an old silver coin, say like 1870s, and if it's a proof, ms, or...
Lol, I knew that. I don't like older proofs, in certain settings. Proof franklin halves, IMO, are ugly. It looks like someone polished the...

Are their better products that will remove Verdigris? My take on verdigris from what I learned is that it's caused by "acidic elements". Which...
Does anyone recommend it? I have quite a few old coppers in my collection that have verdigris on them.
With NGC it will say "details" which does not always mean cleaned, but it means it's not problem free. With PCGS it will say "genuine". IDK...
Reverse is out of focus. Incorrect color. Taken at an angle.
Go with NGC.
What I hate worse is the rolling machines. They scrape the copper off in a ring on each end of the roll!
