Note: The purpose of the charts is to show the difference between what the charts of the guys trying to sell you coins say is happening, and what...
Yes, but then PCGS does not use ANA standards, neither does NGC or any other TPG. It is the norm to find weakly struck coins that have been graded...
You asked if toned coins can be cameo, then you went to say that you were talking about older Proof coins. But would it surprise you if I said...
I wouldn't pay too much attention to those charts you found if I were you - consider their source. Then you might want to compare them to these...
Goldfinger - look in your ANA book for the definition of an uncirculated coin, it will say a coin with no wear. It does not say a coin with no...
Since every coin is put into a bag, how could that NOT be considered normal ?
Under ANA standards no weakly struck coin can grade higher than 64. And the obverse carries no more weight in determining grade than the reverse...
And they have spoken up, countless times. But they are ignored by most, though not by all. You see, that is the point, I merely repeat what these...

Paul it never ceases to amaze me how you come up with some of things that you claim that I believe or you claim that I have said. I mean the...
LOL ! A mistake ? You are kidding, right ? :rolleyes: The book is full of these "mistakes" ! And Paul, what causes wear on a coin, what you call...
LOL ! Really Paul ? I want everybody to know everything !! That's the problem, they don't because they don't read the book. If they did, they...
The old green holders were used from sometime in 1988 (can't remember exactly when off the top of my head) until early 1998. The peak, the high...
Oh, something simple Paul, it's called logic. Every single business strike coin released by the mint for use in circulation has been put into...
Ahhh, forgive me, I worded the quote incorrectly, though what I said does convey the same meaning. As I said in post #147 what it should be is -
Then please read the forum rules regarding how you are permitted to do that - and NOT do that.

The thing that is an absolutely absurd example is PCGS saying "technically not in circulation".
