I like the way you side stepped that trap. Good job!
In all fairness to the seller, proof IHC's are next to impossible to photograph. A direct view of the coin will usually appear to be brown...
Check this out! I found two more Morgans in my collection with the same type of disrupted toning. [IMG][IMG] Now these two are probably from...
Yeah, in poker terms, I think I am a 3 to 1 dog that toned coins will lose some of there present value. I don't mind though, I'm not selling...
Well, in fairness Doug, I wouldn't be the one taking the bath since I have no intention of selling my toned treasures. And if I was forced to...
Yes it is a serious question. I was thinking about making an arrangement with a dealer that specializes in selling rainbow toned coins and then...
I would like to state that I don't think most coins under $100 need to be slabbed. However, when you get above $100 and especially over $500 per...
When someone offers you a coin and you ask the grade. They reply it is MS65 and you say "oh that's too bad, I need a 67"
Ruben, I don't know if you are still blocking my posts, but if you can see this I want you to know I don't want to rekindle a flame war and I...
Sweet Lincoln. How about a reverse holdered Sacagawea. [IMG] :D
Ruben, That is a little harsh. I don't scorch the members of this forum hiding behind a psuedonym. My name is Paul and many of the other...
All of my registry sets are rainbow toned and 1880-S is a common date, so MS65* is not a really high grade for the date. Here is my registry...
Ruben, I am not a fan of people on the internet knowing my last name. I think that is pretty common. There are many, many bad people lurking....
This is a super cool coin. NGC awards the star designation when only one half of the coin exhibits prooflike qualities. The obverse is fully...
Cool as the other side of the pillow!
Uh oh. I need to stress that neither of the two coins photographed above are mine, they were used as examples. But thank you for you sentiments...
Ruben, Have you even read the things that you post. The majority of the cointalk members have agreed with me during your tirade and most of them...
A fantastic question. I have to admit that I don't really know the science behind the toning rate for dipped coins. I will say that the oxide...
Oh, I knew he was baiting me, but it almost became fun to see how many others I could get on his ignore list. I still don't like that fact that...
What he posted is actually correct but he seems not to understand that a slabbed coin is removed from the sulfide source, so no more toning.
