Oh c'mon now Burton, everybody knows that the loosening of grading standards started with v2004.01a, and the updates have continued from there.
Uhhhh - according to the people who make those specific items, they are loaded with 1 digital bitcoin. Their words, not mine. ฿1 Gold-Plated...
Yes, they can be. As already suggested below. That said, I find the toning rather attractive myself and would try to maintain it as is by...
Ya know, that's one time where your "hilarious smileys" are actually appropriate. But only because you put the key word "learned" in quotation...

Of course it counts. And yes they were definitely grading using a much tighter set of standards - the same one they used for the first 20 years...
Polarity ladder - start with distilled water, then acetone, then xylene - and only lastly dip. Personally, I don't think any of the first 3 are...
I would agree if we speaking about private individuals. But what about when it's the TPG themselves ? In other words a coin was graded 10-15 years...

It's not, since when ? It is and always has been precisely about what we think. We, collectors, are the ones with the money. And the ones with the...
If you can't tell the difference, does it matter ?
Sure looks natural to me, I've seen many coins with similar toning in TPG slabs. And seen many others (raw) in people's collections. That said,...
There's far more going on with that coin than just the color in the pics. The color could be the way the coin really looks or not at all - that is...
Even if they did it would only be part of the number because many collectors removed them from the original holders for over 30 years. And I...
This is the question you wanted answered - To get an accurate answer to that question all you have to do is look back at the history of the GSA...
Although I have suspicions, I can't say "what" exactly has been done to the coin, but I have no doubt at all that it has been messed with. And...
