My opinion, in the picture you just posted some of those lines are from die scratches, not die polish. And some of them, the majority I'd say, are...
I agree with what you just said. And I wouldn't ever bid on that coin either, but for a different reason. Ya see, I don't need to even look at the...
It's pretty easy actually - - because not everybody sets their maximum bid, they set some number they pull out of the air just so they can beat...
I'm not a huge fan of either one myself. Given the streaking of the toning on the obv of both it makes me think that something, a liquid, was...
I could go along with a low VF but no better than that.
I saw it. But did ya ever think about how many people there are who don't have your skills ? What about them Kurt ?
Geeeez ! 'Course I did, I just chiseled it in rock, We hadda have rules, ya always gotta have rules ! :D
Ya know I can remember when there weren't any sniping programs, on ebay or anyplace else. Back then if you wanted to win you had to sit at your...
I don't have an ax to grind Kurt, I don't even have an ax. But i think what Carr does is wrong and GSC is definitely not a dealer I would ever buy...
Well that's pretty much the point, you can't. Ya see there's more to this than what has been said. All of the Goodacre coins were slabbed by...
But rather obviously it was because there is no mention of the side steps even mentioned in the criteria. And the side steps are obviously ignored...

Am I correct in assuming you are talking about this thread ? https://www.cointalk.com/threads/luster-a-guide-for-beginners.58435/ As to your...
OK, all off topic posts have moved to where they should be. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming :)
I'm not disputing that. My sole point is that all toning is tarnish.
The answer to your question has been provided. But reality is that the average collector, and even many advanced collectors, cannot tell if a coin...
OK, I get your point. But tell me, what happens when you run across a coin like this one ? [IMG] Would you call that one tarnished ? Or maybe...
Ehhhh, no not really, but in a way yes. Market grading is one of those terms that morphed so far that it has completely lost its original meaning...
The why is simple. When they were coming up with the special designations for coins, meaning not just Jeffs but all of them, they intentionally...
You're quite welcome, thanks are not necessary (it is what I do) but always appreciated.
