Your experience is probably shared by thousands on the the forum, including myself , where coins in our possession for 4 decades or more have been...
Ok Ruben, if I might be a "Devil's advocate", what about "Cabinet Friction (wear)". With today's emphasis on airtite's, etc., few new collectors...
I should add that some series of coins have almost entirely been cleaned to some extent as it was accepted practice during earlier times. Seek...
With coins that expensive, you probably sent them to PCGS or NGC, and received the "cleaned" verdict. The cleaning would be detectable under most...
Do a reply like you did to respond, and when the box comes up you type in, add whatever text you want like "Here is a photo of .....", and then...
If the coins were put inside the ziplocks first as indicated, I don't think the PVC solvent would damage the coins in the long run. More likely...
Of course the proof set is 2009 rather than 1909! Other than that.
Still practicing photo attachment in this version: Here is a nice 1972 DDO #1. Bought from Bowers and Merena in the '80s. [IMG]

Toning is like hair color, some is market acceptable, some is not. Only the "hair doctor" knows for sure. :)
Thanks for the info. I know to trust the seller on coins I am not very familiar. I am always falling for things outside of US coins that whisper...
Here is a repeat of my 1970-S/S rpm #2. Scarce. [ATTACH]
I would pick "E" as for some reason it speaks to me. I know that sounds hokey, but as I gazed over the coins, this one, even though it appears...
The mint mark under the date will be "S" as the proofs were minted in San Francisco. Business strikes will be plain ( Philadelphia) or "D" for...
The business strikes were same as before, zinc in the middle with pure copper on outsides. The proofs were the old time pre-1982 95% copper....
Pilkenton, is the background of your last set of photos really that color or is the balance off? I expect that is a little "whiter" than it...
Hi Kyle, Welcome to the forum. There are 12 Doubled dies listed for 1972P, a photo is necessary to confirm the die #, and the grade. Some of...
