He could wait till the proverbial cows come home but it aint gonna change - it's a fake.
:rolleyes: Nahhh - she wanted to be, but nahhhhh - Chris is right ! And BTW Kentucky, that's just 1 more added to your count :p
None at all. Rub is nothing more than a common usage term that came into use because "it sounds better" than saying light wear - which is exactly...
It was done by hand, but those are not die polish lines, those are die scratches. And there are numerous ways that dies can get scratched.
No it isn't because I was talking something completely different in the post you refer to. In the previous post to which you are referring I was...
Look at the bottom line of any post, see where it says - Report. That's what it's for and that's what you do - you click on Report. The the mods...
You're right, it can't happen. Think for a minute Jason. If a mint worker is taking the time to retouch a die by hand, he is doing it to remove...
It's not an opinion, it's a fact. But if you wish to disagree, that's fine. By all means, please explain to us how die polish lines do occur then.
First you have to define what MS/uncirculated actually is. Once you do that it's quite simple to answer your own question. And remember, dings...
Nope, I have NEVER said any such thing. That's just it, absolutely no one can tell when, where, or how wear occurred ! There simply is no way to...
Sounds to me like we are in agreement. Where Roger said "touchup" I said "retouching". But retouching/touchup is not the same as die polishing....
I didn't miss your point, I know all too well how fragile luster is. But I also know that wear on a coin isn't instantaneous. If it was there...
Uhh, no, I'm not. Ya see, the NRA created/invented the market grading system. And in that system - wear is wear. The TPGs merely copied from them,...
Apparently you don't understand one the most basic things there is - bag marks are NOT wear !
What you're reporting is pretty common actually. YES - you can pull a coin right out of a cash register, or your pocket, and that coin can be and...
The underlined portion of your quote is incorrect. Back then dies were polished in a machine just like they are today. The machines today are a...
They labeled it a business strike when they put UNC Details on the slab. If it had been a Proof, they would have put PF Details on the slab.
A coin is either a Proof or it isn't, and the presence of die polish lines, nor the lack of them, has anything to do with it. In regard to the...
Good timing :) Because it appears the market finally found a bottom and is heading the other way -...
Two or three days isn't gonna hurt anything. If ya left it in there for months it would probably start to corrode, but not in a few days. Here's...
Separate names with a comma.
