What the mods consider to be personal attacks, and what some members consider to be personal attacks - are quite often very different things....
It is indeed ! It's what I call - the curse of the set collector :nailbiting: :D Luckily for me I was never one of those people :rolleyes: But...
OK, but I wouldn't exactly call waxes and or paraffin oils either. And not all waxes are equal. As for sodium metal being kept under oil, why do...
Mints vs proofs. What exactly is the difference? In simple terms, the difference between Mint Sets and Proof Sets is the method of manufacture....
A point of clarification - there is no such thing as "inert oils". (And understand, I'm not claiming that you're saying there is, you're just...
Yeah, they have that for every individual coin. You can also look in the glossary where they have a description for Choice but they do not have...
Pretty much everything you want to know has been answered and or addressed in this thread and or the links that are posted in this thread. Short...
A fine point perhaps but we're not discussing how grades really are, but rather how they really were. And exactly what the ANA guide had in it,...

This should give you a pretty good idea, it shows the fluctuations of the PCGS Key Dates and Rarities index over the last 10 years. [ATTACH]...
I'd have to say no that one. And even the MTTs were widely used in commerce both local and international, not just as trade coins. And I'm making...
The mint doesn't get to pick and choose what they do and when they do it. Everything the mint does is dictated by laws, and they have to follow...
The link worked perfectly back then, but as the years go by things change. And if you read the Introduction thread to the Numismatic Resources...
I'm reasonably certain it would be by now if what you're describing had not been done. But since it was done, you've got a set of unique...
Yeah but those aren't precious metal coins and their not collector coins either, they were minted for use in circulation. And there's an entirely...
I don't believe he was in any way even remotely implying that yours were ! Merely that those on ebay were reproductions ! And if anybody knows, he...
