I hate to ask what it looked like before..... The thing with "some rim toning from being in an album" is the coin is original, and has developed...
Dewitt, I see a bunch of pocket change. None of those are worth paying to have graded.
I guess all of these aren't enough clues that the pictures are bad?
There is a difference between being "grumpy" and being realistic. When people post awful photos and ask for grades, and we tell them that their...
The problem is, that "rim tone" is already the result of a "quick dip" that wasn't properly rinsed. I wouldn't exactly call it "ugly," even if it...

I have ordered from them online, and they were quick and professional. It's been a few years, but I remember them being good dealers.
Results of the grading contest are posted here. This article actually has all of the coins, so you can test your skills at home. The answers are...
In hand, do you see evidence of cleaning? You've shown us at least 3 sets of photos now, and I don't see it.
The color on that coin is incredibly attractive. I'm guessing that's the reason for the high bids.
Great coins, and sounds like you had a great time. Can you tell us a little bit more about the goings-on at the blue-label plastic company?
Which edition are you looking at?
With dark coins, you want to make sure there is plenty of light on the coin, but you also want to make sure there is enough contrast. My best...
