Yes, you register. That's good because you then get their show notifications so you can schedule better. No, the small shows don't charge. Even...
I used the Red Book dates for this. In fact, I think you are correct. Some changes were begun earlier. But many of those changes were in...
If I read the NGC statement correctly, the coating is for scratch protection. They likened it to the coating put on glasses lenses. As nearly as...
IMO there will be no problems. It's not a chemical process. It's an abrasive polish, like rouge for polishing jewelry. I definitely leaves...
Here are some of my older cents from my type set. I had to polish the front of this slab. LOTS of scratches. Too bad I didn't look at the back....

Now I take a deep breath and try this on one of the slabs for one of my top coins.
Okay, the plastic scratch remover I bought works. I don't think I completely solved the problem, but that's just a matter of more elbow grease....
Now I'm working with my type set. A Few Coins from My Collection #3 showed an example of the two latest date half cents. The only other half cent...
I found an 1854 large cent in NGC AU-53 that can definitely benefit from some scratch removal on the slab. Not an expensive coin, so that will be...

Here's a couple of examples from my half cent collection. The Braided Hair (Coronet) set is complete in business strikes. In the Classic Head set...
