All guesses are welcome and we won't be making fun of anyone. Part of the exercise is to see how various people think about toning. There will of...
Yes venue can matter. I considered including the venue, but decided against it since it would make it much easier for someone to just go and look...
@19Lyds Just wondering what was the final outcome with that order? Did PCGS compensate you fairly for cracking those coins when they weren't...
Well then at least it's a win for you this time!
It looks to be in the MS 63-64 range. I'm guessing there is plenty of luster but there appear to be multiple marks in the obverse fields and dings...

Every bank is different. Some will get new rolls while others get mixed rolls or stock customer rolled coins. For example, in 2011 I was searching...
I have not heard that toning on the edge means AT. I would think the edge can tone just like any other part of the coin. With your ASE I also...
Many of my early purchases were not pictured, but my more recent ones mostly are. I will also save some photos if the coin was bought via online...
I'd say the US Mint only partially learned a lesson based on the evidence from the State Quarters program. Once again from 1999-2008 the Mint went...
Yes generic COAs do seem cheesy and are often associated with less than honest TV sellers or magazine ads. However, the example in this thread is...
That could be an option, but unfortunately my library doesn't keep issues longer than a year or two. Maybe someone on this forum has some old...
