That is contrary to my experience. Littleton was supposed to send me MS60 coins in 2015, and what arrived didn’t have wear but had way too many...
If that is their Gold Shield Service…then I will take a hard pass. You did not get your moneys-worth.
Nothing wrong with getting a fair price selling to these companies. The problem arises when said companies knowingly dupe unwitting neophytes....
I’ve seen this many times. Extended storage with exposure to heat or varying humidity, as mentioned contact to various paper types: album,...
@Iamleilanianne I just reviewed all of your posts over the last 6 years since you joined Coin Talk and I believe you have been done a...

As noted, the ‘73 has too much wear on both sides and is a common coin. The unofficial benchmark for slabbing is to have a coin worth at least...
As of today all the sources I find say 1 gram pure silver tallies at 96 cents USD. 32 of those little tiny coins in the OP would be close to a...
I did too, labeling flips “specimen - example of die deterioration” or what have you. My intent, here, was to help to dispel the prevalent notion...
Don’t put it in a flip…a waste of time and a flip. This is obvious significant circulation damage AKA : PMD. It’s also known as a spender.
Yep. I agree. Taking into account the amount of wear along with a thinner than normal planchet and the accepted variance/tolerance allowed for...
