My opinion, there's not much you can do to help that coin. But if I was going to do something, I'd use Verdi-Care and let it go at that.
I'm not saying that Kurt, not in any way. Are there still raw classic coins out there ? Of course there are, but they simply don't exist in large...
But what I said isn't "cherrypicked". The explosion of the grade populations applies to all coins across the board, not just 1 or 2 examples....
Well John it sounds like for your purposes the catalog type would serve your needs. But I think you would be best served by the Standard Catalog...
I've been writing about and preaching about a universal set of grading standards being adopted and strictly adhered to for almost 17 years now....
I would first ask you the question - what do you want the books for ? I mean, what's your reason, what do you hope to have the books do for you ?...
LOL ! No Kurt, but that's certainly a good way of putting it. Merely that somewhere down the road we'll all know how they decided to handle it.
Ehhh - you can get any "pedigree" you want listed on the slab, assuming you are willing to pay for it. It appears that's what was done here.

I fixed that problem for you :)
Simple, because they won't be able to sell their coins in the over-graded slabs. Nobody will want them, they will only want coins in the new...
There have been other, much larger jumps in the pop numbers that occurred over similar time periods. But nobody noticed them because nobody but me...

Mike why do you think they loosened the grading standards to begin with ? They did it because they wanted all those grading fees that people would...
Would you like to know how many of those 1997 MS68RD cents there were in Oct. of 2003 ? A grand total of 2. Now would ya like to know how many...
I first started posting about all of this, right here on this forum, over 10 years ago. And I have been posting about it ever since. All of the...

If you are referring to the green spot, and only the green spot, on that specific coin, I would agree with you - it is not patina, it is...
As the code 93 states - "depends on severity". In other words if the planchet flaw is bad enough the coin won't be cleanly graded; if it isn't too...
klippenberger - About the only thing I can think of that you may wish to add to a set like this would be bi-metal coins. There's a pretty wide...
