I feel that intent is key. I also realize fully that intent is in most cases virtually impossible to prove. Thus the conundrum. On the one...
That all depends on who you're selling to and the look of the respective coins. Sometimes a raw 64 will sell to the right person (i.e. someone...
... or the PKOK Ikes, or the blue indians/MPLs, or envelope toned moderns, or Wayte Raymond toned Franklins, or .... ;)
The coin was part of a hoard that was submitted to NGC across a relatively small period of time and as a result are in holders that have a very...
So do you have before and after photos? :) p.s. I'm glad to hear of your success!
Did you ever hear the story of the "Quite Possibly the Finest Toned Peace Dollar in Existence!", complete with NGC 66* plastic that turned out to...
On the sales and/or doctoring side, not the buy side. I agree 100%. My point was that it's not like PCGS is leading the way on this issue. I...

A few points, Lehigh... First, you don't see the great rise of the AT coins because (with respect) you're not close enough to the market to see...
So have I... [img] ;) p.s. nice set, BTW.
Avi, I agree with your "cleaned" assessment....Mike
Mark won. He was kind enough to suggest that I give away the 1831 to a YN -- and I agree. I'll come up with a new (and easier) contest to see if...
I do not agree.... That scratch (or a circulation mark, which is what it looks like to my eye) doesn't look bad enough to cause a bodybag, IMO....
57 is also found spectacularly toned, as are occasionally the 56s. I suspect the type of cardboard these coins were shipped with (and the sulfur...
Two planchets struck at the same time? Yours got the heads side, and the other one got the tails side???
You don't see war nickels with that much die polish often. Neat coin.
