We are in agreement on that. But I was rather hoping for examples of a different nature shall we say.
You've apparently already decided against it, but for the future remember this. In most cases, if it does anything, dipping a coin will reduce the...
Did you read post #88 ?
No it isn't. Just because some people (ebay buyers who don't know any better) are willing to pay more than a given coin is worth, that doesn't...
No, it doesn't. Yes it means they are willing to buy it, but not at any set amount, only what they are willing to give you.
It's very simple, because something is not worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Something is only worth what a knowledgeable person is...
There once was a guy who had a Morgan toned black. It was graded MS and sold for about $50k. It's new owner decided he wanted to gamble and dip...

As can textile toning. And any other form of toning you can think of.
I have posted this question many times and I will post it again. If one cannot tell the difference between AT and NT, then how can it possibly...
About the only time that one can be reasonably certain that a given coin was from the GSA hoard is if that coin is in a GSA holder, or so marked...
Selling some of your coins is one of the most educating things a collector can ever do. As a result of doing that, all of the other lessons...
I don't think it's that most people don't care, I think it's that most people don't know, are not even aware of it. But that is changing, in fact...
When it comes to toning, the only difference between what mother nature does (NT) and what man does (AT) is intent and the time factor involved...
