It's impossible to say for sure based on pictures, but the coin does have a certain grainy look to it. And that would be enough for me to question...
If it only took ya 30 seconds then please tell me how you did it.
rmpsrpms - I would give you one more reason to reconsider what you are saying. If, as you claim, MDS and LDS coins have more luster than EDS...
Nahhh, that's some kind of an ooooops caused by the software. That thread never existed until Jan 2006. If you'll look at Peter's profile page,...
No, you need to redefine your definition of luster. Every single coin struck with dies has luster when it leaves the dies, every single one. And...
Almost but not quite. There are several older than this one. You'll find that the first thread here was started by Peter, the site owner about a...

The PCGS holder known as "the rattler" was only used for 1 year, so there never was very many of them. And yes most of those were resubmitted for...
I'm trying to understand what you said - First of all, when you said "a huge box" I assumed you were talking about what most call a "green...
But we're not. We're talking about coins that do have collector value, and how to properly clean them without harming the coin. The coins would...
