Wellllll, you might say it's because not everybody "likes" hearing the truth. Especially when a large number aren't willing to believe that it is...
I'm not trying to argue either. I just thought that everybody on the planet understood that any coins put into coin tubes are going to rub against...
Actually they always were readily available, even before the internet. All you had to do was call up a dealer who had was a member of the coin...
To the best of my knowledge, they are all slabbed already. But since I do understand what you mean and to answer your question - no, I would not....
MS70 works wonders - if you use it as it is intended to be used. And don't use it on copper.
I can't say specifically what coins have gone up the most, but just about every US coin there is went up 300% or more in the last 10 years. And...

The problem is well known and the fact that the spots often develop after slabbing has been documented many times over. As for what causes the...
Apparently the TPGs don't see it that way, or at least they don't agree with your premise because that is exactly what they did. Examples - PCGS...
