There are a couple of other potential issues. If you don't do it correctly, and many don't, you can end up with residue left on the coin that...
Just looking at the pics I could kind of go either way. The thing that I am thinking about is the lack of luster in the open fields. There seems...
I wouldn't quite put it that way. Unless you are talking about a particular rarity or scarce variety just about anything you could want is...

One small problem with you not buying that Chris. The facts say otherwise. For example, prior to, 2001 I think it was, NGC would not even grade...
Way ahead of you spock.
Bad assumption on your part. Whether the coin goes into a regular slab or a details slab is determined by the condition of the coin after it has...
