I can’t prove all of these are AT, but every single one is questionable. Many have the look of being heated or chemically treated. I would expect...
Plenty of people. Or do you want to keep further qualifying your statement? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Ok let’s just take Cents, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Half Dollars post 1964. You’ll still be surprised how much can be found.
And the answer is MS 69. It’s certainly unique and artistic, but I’d agree with the questionable color guesses. [ATTACH]
It’s not as common as Kurt says and it’s not as rare as you believe. There are enough to fill your thread if we just use Silver Eagles. If we...
Check eBay as I’ve seen a few MS 63 certified ones sell for under $30 (raw UNC can also be found in that price range).
$39
My best guess is that this holder comes from a self slabber (a dealer grading their own inventory and selling them in these holders). It might be...
I agree that the reactive label wouldn’t work too well. In my opinion, the easiest solution would be to photograph (or scan) all certified coins...

I don't recall seeing this one or bidding on it, so I'll guess this time. $155
The smart ones open a random page near the middle. :D
That’s the one I also thought looked most natural. However most Eagles are stored in mint or aftermarket tubes (they did have different tubes from...
Here is just a small sampling of straight graded ASEs that have photos available. Could have some of these happened naturally? It’s possible, but...
Both toned and blast white coins have had their peaks and low points, but I’d agree that neither will completely ever fall out of favor. The final...
Please guess the grade. :) [ATTACH]
Gassing isn’t destroying the market. Many of the slabs that were gassed are fairly obvious to identify. What is putting pressure on the market...
It’s a fairly common coin, so not much harm was done. Plus it may serve a purpose to expose a potential scammer. And these are quite inexpensive....
It’s a thumbnail; hopefully this is a bit better: [ATTACH]
I wouldn’t go that far. This is reason to be more careful with modern toners and to be skeptical of odd looking slabs (even if they are straight...
Separate names with a comma.
