You know as well as I do it's not a question of ability, not in any way. It's a question of the standards one uses to grade by. And we most...
Yeah, but it's still not the reason and can't be. For one, if it was it would have happened all the time - it didn't. Two, as I mentioned before,...
Boy, after all that you guys must be thirsty :) [ATTACH]
[IMG] I was afraid that was the one you were asking about. I say that because it requires a long explanation. The weakness in the wing and leg...
And before you ask or comment about it baseball I'll even go a bit further for you. But it's something that just about everybody already knows,...
Yeah it's a spot, but it's not a milk spot. But then people have taken to calling just about any spot or small blemish on bullion coins milk spots...
I guess that depends on how one defines experience. Me, I define it as having looked at many, many coins, both in hand and pics, that had CAC...

I could go along with the idea that the folks making these Expo medals, might and I stress might, have been willing to drill holes in them, right...
A valid point about which part of his comments ? Ya see, wear can easily be distinguished from a weak strike by those who know how. And on that...
Ana you'll find there are very, very, few who know more about moderns than cladking does ;) 'Course I've only known the man for 20 years so who's...

Unh huh - except for one thing. If they didn't first sticker the coins then they wouldn't have any market to make now would they.
I believe they were, but I'll be danged if I can remember the reference source for you. The process is known as galvanizing or galivanization, a...
Ahhhh green - almost buddy, almost ! You don't know how close I came to clicking on that Like button :D
Sounds like a good idea doesn't ? But it isn't really, 2 reasons. One it would be counterproductive to their business model. Some would stop...
