When completing my type set, the strategy was to have a fairly broad search and be open to anything that fit. I found that if I focused in on only...
Nice job! @Mkman123 might want to see it too.
Yep; see thread below. It still is in the mail, so I don't have more to share about the in hand look until the coins arrive....
If it turns into a nice or even neutral tone, that would certainly be a positive. I collect toners. Modern world coins like these aren't often...
Leaving it alone might be another option. Cracking it out is wasting money but if it looks unattractive in hand, then it's a bigger loss than the...
There used to be a good website that talked about toned Morgans but it seems to no longer be active. Another person has created a similar website...
The length of time to tone depends on the method and environment. Many of the toned Morgans you see today sat in bags for many decades before they...
I'm with @Hiddendragon ...the mail is still inconsistent at this point and there is no reason to rush to judgment. Worst case scenario, eBay will...
Yes those "Brilliant Uncirculated" labels are usually dealer bulk submissions. They either want them all like this (it's cheaper that way) or have...
Hungary has some great coins too. I eventually plan to pick up something Hungarian (it's outside the direct scope of the ex-Soviet nations set but...
It was in the original packaging when I received it and there was no haze. I don't know what could have been done before it arrived. I do think...

I used to have one of these but sold it a few years ago as it didn't really fit my collection: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces285487.html
Congrats on some nice results!
Unfortunately they have a huge notice that they have no responsibility. "The development of white spots after a coin is graded by NGC is not...
It's from my collection of former Soviet nations. The idea is to get a silver coin from each. Most I bought already slabbed and I want some...
I've had it happen with Maples before but also didn't worry since it was just bullion. Plus those were all recent (for example, I had a 2013 Maple...
This one was a big disappointment. It is part of my ex-Soviet nations set and I sent it in to NGC back in April (delivered 4/28/21). Today...
@yakpoo I stand corrected...above is an example of a lower purity ballerina that you must have been describing in my thread
MS 65 ....a bit blurry but looks nice; older holder, so I will go a bit more conservative
