I can't speak for them but I should think what buy the coin and not the slab means is rather obvious. It means that you ignore whatever the...
Sorry but that's not so at all. PVC flips are just as common as they ever were. In fact the vast majority of coin dealers use them with all their...
It goes back a lot further than that. The practice of collectors harshly cleaning their coins is one that goes back for centuries. And even today...
Hmmm - guys, guys, guys ! Short memories or unfamiliar with the long standing tradition ? It's not about posting funny pictures, it's about...
Jim didn't come right out and say it but it's verdigris, not PVC. And I agree with his assessment, it's nothing to worry about as long as you...
I suspect there's not going to be a whole lot of folks who have those sets. But here's to hoping I'm wrong ;)
