It is a similar idea. Basically, many metals will form layers on their surface (known as passivity). A bare metal will corrode quickly, but as...
Previously, for FBL prices, I would do exactly the same. However, doing that with the old prices would, in most cases, land you pretty close to...

Thank you for listening to my recommendations and adjusting the Franklin prices. In late October, I sent an email to Steve Roach, editor of...
Oh, I would have no trouble at all spending that kind of money on a nice NGC MS-65FBL 1953S. The hard part would be getting that kind of money....
Of course, I don't know exactly how limited your budget is, but you'd be surprised at how affordable these can be. I got this one, with a Lee Gast...
That is a simple question with an incredibly complicated answer. There are important differences between artificial and natural toning, based upon...
Ahhh... my friend, if you want a truly amazing Mercury dime, look no further. NGC MS-67, in an old fatty. [IMG] [IMG]
BNB... you and I disagree pretty much every time you post. green18 and Lehigh are giving you great advice.... please learn before you attempt to...
Giving mother nature a shove is AT. No other way around it. I will not answer your question. Only after proving yourself worthy of the knowledge...

Very nice coin. I would suggest, however, that if you intend to complete any of these sets that you choose one or two at a time to focus on....
Its really not a bad counterfeit as far as they go. I definitely wouldn't have spotted it, although I also wouldn't have bid on it. Raw keys on...
There is only one reference book on the Seated Lib series, and that is the Wiley & Bugert book mentioned earlier. However, it has been out of...
On average, I strongly agree with that statement. Buying the coin which is 50% of bid is almost always going to get you the ugliest coin - there...
I know a guy who bought the finest graded 1959 Prooflike Franklin (NGC MS-65 PL) for less than a hundred bucks on Heritage. I would willingly pay...
I agree ( and the symbol I would use would be ~ ). There is a slight oscillation about the equilibrium point, depending on market conditions,...
I would never crack a coin out of a major TPG slab. Even if I disagreed with the grade and wanted to resubmit, I would resub in the holder. I am...
