Do we know ? What I know is this, more than few knowledgeable people believe the BC coins to be AT. I also know that one of those "mint sealed...
Well, I'll try one more time to clear it up for you. When I used the word enhance I was using it a synonym for increase. As I specifically said -...
In my book, no it cannot. Consistent means unchanging so how can it change and be consistent at the same time ? And given the way he used those...
Heard of it ? I got a hunch you've seen it a lot of times :)
Not necessarily. Of course they make retail sales, but whatever they don't sell retail, and reasonably soon, they just turn around and sell it to...
That part I would think would be obvious. Because whatever is on the coin can go into solution when the liquid is applied. And if you then let the...
Fair enough. And yeah, I realized it's not the same as what you are suggesting.
Now, now. :stop: I didn't say I didn't know, I said you (the collective you) didn't know :D And it was lot longer ago than that that I was a...
That's not really an extreme, quite the opposite in fact - it's the norm. Not the amounts per se, just that dealers do far more business with...
Interesting letter. But what I find interesting is this - "After three decades as an NGC grading finalizer, I can say with confidence that our...
Nobody is claiming that eye appeal does not affect the grade of a coin. So if you are thinking that's what I was telling you, you are not...
I guess that depends on how you choose to interpret what I said John. "Pretty much across the board" does not mean that you have increased values...
Yep, it's accurate. For as long as it has existed that's the only thing the star has meant. No, because the only thing CAC is saying is that the...
Well that's kinda the thing, you don't know that the coin made it 150 years in the same state. You only know the state it is in now. The point I...
As rickmp said the product is called VerdiCare. Verdicare does not require any rubbing or cleaning either, nor does it ruin the patina of the...
That kinda depends on who's doing the buying, somebody knowledgeable or plastic buyers. And since plastic buyers far, far, outnumber knowledgeable...
Let's not forget that crescent toning is one of the easiest there is to replicate, and not all of it took place inside the mint's storage vaults....
Let's make it 2 mens' opinion ;)
Yes, they will. As already stated it is inevitable. Toning can be slowed down, even greatly slowed down, but it cannot be stopped as long as any...
To the best of my knowledge, no they do not. Calvin Coolidge was on a US coin while he was still in office. A lot of people "think" they have to...
