I'll leave it you to tell us CZ, but I suspect #3 comes closest to presenting the coin as it actually looks in hand. I wouldn't be surprised if it...
Hmmmm - the last I provided about a dozen such links, and even posted quotes from them, as well as mentioned that there were hundreds more...
I don't whether to tell you to bite your tongue or get the duct tape out :D
You didn't ? OK, but that's sure what this sounded like, to me anyway - - thus my comment. But if I misunderstood you, well it seems I'm...
Well, therein lies the problem. There are a whole lot of people who think the same way you do, they like their coins getting higher grades than...
I wondered if that was what you meant. So to answer your question, no, I don't think it's going to happen. There have been too many times where...

Miko, even I don't agree that is true.
And I don't recall ever asking you to have any. But some others might. No, it looks like I consistently follow set and long established grading...

I don't disagree that's what it has become or morphed into. But that is not what the market grading system was when it was created and for many...
And that is it in a nutshell. They give the market precisely what it wants. Something I have repeated time and time again. So why do I disagree...
The idea of using a Q-tip, a toothpick, a green thorn,or anything else, is to be able to gently pick at, loosen and remove bits of material that...
The issue with acetone and copper is this - copper coins after being treated with acetone can sometimes, not always but sometimes, tone weird...
