Quite honestly, bowl luster is not a term I've ever heard used before. The only thing I can even imagine it might refer to is the way that some...
That is correct. NGC and PCGS both require this for a coin to get the PL designation.
Almost anything is possible. But in the end what really matters is what is the most probable explanation ? And in this case the most probable is...
Neither one really. It would be more accurate to describe it as the best educated guess that the leading names in numismatics could come up with...
Really doesn't matter. It's quite easy for toning like that to not show up in pictures or for the coin to look completely different in 2 different...
The toning visible in your pictures would not affect the grade. And I suspect that is exactly what it looked like when NGC graded it. What that...
If you look back at old threads asking the same question, and there have been hundreds of them over the years, the consensus is going to come up...
I don't think he's talking about the sticker Mark. I think he's talking about only buying sight seen coins, whether they have a CAC sticker on...
Sorry to sat that I know no more than you do as I haven't heard. All I can suggest is that you send him a private message.
Tell ya what Frank, you bring both of these lovely ladies over to my house and drop 'em off for a week - [IMG] [IMG] - and I'll even give...
Sight seen means you have the coin in hand for viewing, sight unseen means you do not.
Well that's kind of the problem, there are all kinds of things that can cause parallel lines on a coin. Using a brush, of any kind, it can be a...
Whizzed, and or whizzing is another one of those terms where its definition has become corrupted, changed, altered, (pick your word) to mean all...
I said what I said because of the requirements for the FS designation used by NGC. Those requirements are that the steps have to be clear and...
Ignoring a scratch, or any other problem for that matter, doesn't bring the TPG any more money. They get paid the same amount regardless of...
Well that's where that last sentence of mine comes into play Mike. Like I've always said, there are good guys out there, you just have to find them ;)
Thank you :) Those are the kind of details that help people learn, but that are often forgotten (fail to be mentioned) by those who have already...
It's close but not quite there in my opinion. The weakness above the C and the hit that bridges the 2 steps on the far left stop it from being FS.
Kinda like these ? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And those aren't the only place you can get them, you can also find pop numbers in various books....
Then I'd say your best bet is to go visit the shops in person.
