I've always had a problem with that concept. Not that I deny it of course, yes some Morgans absolutely did acquire their toning while sitting in...
I didn't say you don't "ever" see it. There are exceptions to almost everything. But how often do you see it ? As a general rule, you don't.
Easy to understand why some might think so, but it only makes sense until you realize that they don't. Then it becomes confusing. Especially when...
I don't know about you but these 2 statements seem to be in direct contradiction to each other. I say that because scratches on harder plastic...
LOL ! Yeah, if ya wanted to be banned from that forum :D I suppose there's a lot of people would look at that coin and the comments being about...
You have a valid point given the coins in question. A point, that in my opinion anyway, should be accounted for when one is considering buying a...
That's because it isn't. The coin has obvious wear. And unless I'm mistaken that is a wipe mark in front of the face which means it should be in...

Not with that one. As I said, the leniency is not afforded all O mint coins. The '79-O is known for being of Average or Above Average in regard to...
We're not talking about value here, we're talking about grade. Lemme see if I can explain it a different way. Say you were trying to grade cars,...
May well be true for that specific coin. This on the other hand, again, it may be true if you are only referring to that particular coin. And,...
Rim dings, rim dents, rim bruises - and no they are the same things, they are all different. And if you think about it for a minute you should be...
You are not wrong. And this too is a valid practice. It, (these principles) and the same thing I am trying to explain, go back as far grading...
Yup, I have, and always will. It's pretty simple Travis, and it is Travis isn't it ? As I mentioned above there are certain coins, and only...
The '97, no grade, scratched.
Didn't know ya had it in ya Ken ! That I like ! eat your heart out Frank [ATTACH]
