But the two that came back details, were they given the details because of the dipping, or for something else ? In other words your comment, at...
Well that's kind of the thing, you never know. The issue with die diagnostics is this, sometimes there aren't any, sometimes for a couple of...
For the record, the drama is over and done with. I suggest you all keep it that way. I believe for most my suggestion will be more than enough....
It's really hard to say based on pics because you really can't see the the surfaces well enough. And die diagnostics don't work well for...
My point Michael was the mint didn't put anything on coins (other than those I mentioned) to try and prevent them from toning.
I just got around to reading this thread today. I suspect you have seen thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, of dipped coins and never even...
To be honest, the special designations are pretty much meaningless when it comes to quality of strike. In other words, none of them actually...
As I said, they threw the definition of wear out and came up with one that suits their purposes. And the point still remains that there is...

Use the ring type and you'll never have that problem.
Well that depends, on 2 things. 1 - you still have to buy the 2x2s, so why not just save the money and use it towards proper holders. And 2 - it...
Another way of looking at is to only buy coins that you are completely - 100% - happy with exactly as they are when you buy them. If you even ask...
I never said ANACS wasn't the first TPG. I am merely saying it is not the same company that it was then, because it isn't. Nor is NGC, PCGS, or...
Your thoughts about the downside of using Saflips are quite correct and accurate. Flips absolutely impart wear to coins. There is an additional...
Let me ask you a question, do you like the way your coins look now ? And would you like it if they didn't look that way anymore ? Well, the odds...
