@Insider , that is a lot of back and forth. I think you are missing the basic point of what I'm saying: acetone will do no damage to the coin,...
1955 has the lowest mintage, by far. But it is one of the most commonly available and cheapest coins. In common parlance, "key date" equates to...
In widely accepted numismatic parlance, "skin" refers to toning or patina, which are natural reactions of the coin with its environment. The...
Most government entities or contractors do ;) I will have to take a week or two later this year to make sure I don't loose any time. Correct....
A common numismatic myth. Phrased more appropriately: For some series, in some conditions, PCGS may bring more than NGC. For other series, NGC...
No, there are no key dates in the Franklin series. Are the coins you received circulated, or are they uncirculated? All Franklins are widely...
That coin sold about $200 - $300 less than recent AU-53s on Heritage. This is in line with what I would expect. The corrosion spot hurts it as...
Nope, none of the above. You have a great set, and I've said that already. Just being realistic. My type set is only in 50th place, for comparison.
Oh, I see what you are doing. You are filtering "NGC Only" coins.... That doesn't really count. If you look at all sets, you are #43.
That shade of blue is highly suspect. I am not at all surprised it didn't CAC. Did they say why? Do you have better pictures of this one? I'm...
Can you show us a picture of the whole coin? If they are die polish lines (which, there is a good chance they are) getting another example has a...
The coin has almost certainly been cleaned. I'm sure there are some hairlines from circulation as well, but there are obvious signs of cleaning....
The Stone Mountain is neutral-negative. I don't find it attractive, and would avoid that coin (or sell it quickly if it was foist upon me). The...
Haha, of course for that one. I was referring to the one in the OP - which is considerably higher grade if genuine, but is also quite weakly struck.
When I said "good" I meant "authentic." Do you not think it is authentic? I am quite sure that it has been messed with.
I highly recommend getting a copy of the Red Book. This basic guide will give you all sorts of information about number minted, dates produced,...
To be fair, there are an equal number of buyers who don't know how to grade and think that a coin is worth what Red Book or PCGS say's its worth,...
A few years ago, I got a roll of the Alabama quarters when they first came out. There were half a dozen of the Cud 1 in there. I tried to sell a...
Also, what do you mean by "Top 20"? You are at rank 43, unless I'm mistaken (or you are referring to something else).
Congrats on the beautiful set! Who did your pictures? They are quite good. The Registry set is a fantastic way to show off your coins,...
