OK, so take your last 2 posts and put them together. In one you say the Proofs had fingerprints, in the other you show somebody wearing finger...
First of all if a coin has been dipped it won't have any toning because the acid strips away all toning. But yes that why I asked you to define...
No, they don't, or rather they didn't. I say that in the past tense because machines handle the Proof coins now, not people.
Can you please define - look like they have been dipped. I ask that because if a silver coin has been dipped properly then it cannot be...
Grumpy ? Not in the least, I was merely trying to answer your questions accurately and post my comments in a straightforward manner. As for...

There are several chemists on this forum, and I don't know of a one of them that will agree with you. One did speak up in this thread, and he...

Guys, it doesn't much matter since the company Intercept Shield no longer exists. They went out of business some time ago. But Morgandude, it...
Everything has been faked at one time or another, even the most common date coins in all denominations. You have to remember that the primary...
I don't see any way in the world that coin could make into a regular slab. It has what looks like 4 test cuts, 2 rather deep, a bad rim ding, and...
We mostly try to figure out ways to ignore you ;)
Only among those who don't know any better.
More than anything, they probably did it in a bid to take more market share back away from PCGS. An advertising gimmick in other words.
There are lots of dealers that don't know near as much as people think they do. As for that 2011 PF70 Kennedy, he would probably get more by...
Not really. Even in G VG grades it matters. If you are talking about luster all by itself, meaning luster that has been worn off by normal...
Separate names with a comma.
