Possible but not likely. When coins are MS the number of contact marks and their location matters when it comes to determining the grade. But once...
Of course you can. Think for a minute Dave, the device areas, how deep are they ? They are very shallow, anywhere from a fraction of a millimeter...
Every die that's ever had rust, grease, water, or just plain old dirt, wiped and cleaned off of it - has been harshly cleaned. Do they refer to...
I'm not suggesting you could do it in "one smooth stroke", to the contrary, just like you, I know it could not be done. However, I also know that...
Yeah the lines do not run up to the edge of the devices in this picture, in the fields they stop about the same distance away - [IMG] - but they...
No, I have said straight out that I am not an expert, and I've said it more times than I can count. And I, better than anyone know that because I...
Die polishing and harsh cleaning both create raised and incuse lines on dies, harsh cleaning creates both raised and incuse lines on a coin. Even...

LOL ! Really, that's what she tells people ? :rolleyes: Maybe you should ask Peter sometime what actually happened, privately of course.
Spenser the point that Jim was making is quite valid, not everybody tells the truth as who they are or how old they are. Example, we have more...
There are several initial comments I could make to start this off but I think I'll go with this one - the coin has not been harshly cleaned, and...
I'll bet if you could actually count them over a period of 13 years this question has been asked a thousand times or more on this forum alone. In...
One of these days I'll show ya one of me :)
I've often wished there was, but doing so would be almost as bad as saying - we over-graded this one - on the slab. Looking at that coin sure...
Exactly the same issues faced by a whole lot of people who try to take their own coin pics, and with the same results. Which of course is why they...
Their rules are pretty much just like ours, so is their "strike" policy. They call it strikes and we call it infractions but it works the same...
Suggestions really won't matter much as options are going to be limited to whatever is available at the show. Yes, Saints are fairly common coins...
