It isn't dirty - it is toned. It has developed an attractive patina. Definitely do not try to clean it to make it look shiny - you will ruin it!
Errors like these very easily and very often escape the mint in legitimate ways. If you were to open a mint bag, there's a chance you could find a...
When a cent is dipped, it doesn't really have a red color - it has a pink color. The dip is stripping the patina off the coin, and it looks...
At this time, proofs were all minted in Philadelphia (with a couple of very special exceptions). It wasn't until the 1970's when proof manufacture...
You are correct - you will see people argue this all day long. The truth is, we just don't know. I am personally very strongly of the opinion...
Don't let @JCro57 find out! ;) Cool coins. You seem particularly drawn to the off centers. Is there a reason for that? Do you think you might...

I'm sure they have an automated bot that imports everything from Krause, and they don't actually look at it. The only time they look at it is if...
I was hoping there would be some explanation for the circular marks that I could come up with. Nope. Those are just incredibly distracting...
Ideally, my grade should be pretty much the same as the TPG grade. If I'm consistently off, I'm not going to be very successful in the hobby....
This makes me sad. That set is well beyond the means of most of us, but it is tragic to see something like that broken up. I suppose the only...
We'll see at the reveal. I certainly wouldn't have bought it myself, either way!
What is a plugged half dollar? Do you mean a normal half dollar which had a hole drilled in it and then was plugged? That is a damaged coin. The...
Who just has a few of these that they cast aside? This is a $5000 coin, or more.
