Yes, especially when you consider many can be cracked, resubmitted and come back with a grade.
The light to moderate verdigris will be improved but that thick, heavy verdigris on the reverse is there to stay IMO. Typically, the only way to...
Here's an example of what a staple can do. This was my grandfather's coin, probably put in a 2x2 many decades ago. Notice the rust bleed from the...

My pictures suck, they are from when I was just learning how to take coin photos....but....here's one of the "proof-like" 09VDB's I own. The coin...
For reference, this is what a real MPL looks like. It's inside a slab so a little funny at the rims and I think this is actually a super rare MAD...
