No it's not. The Mint Set coins are exactly the same composition as the business strike coins. The only difference is they have a different finish.
Mmmm, no, they don't. What they say is the coin is a problem coin with no grade, but that it does have details similar to a coin graded XX. I...
The coin is definitely AU, but that doesn't mean PCGS will say it is.

You mean kind of like this one ? https://www.cointalk.com/threads/beginning-coin-collecting.13996/ That has existed for over 8 years now.
Ahhhhhhh - so if you crack a coin out if a slab the grade just disappears huh ? :rolleyes: Think about what you are saying for a minute, of...

Sorry, but raw coins DO have grades. The only coins that DO NOT have grades are problem coins - and that includes both those raw and slabbed.
That is for the Show Economy and as I understand it you can mix and match in that tier since you are paying $65 per coin. But yes you do have to...
What do I find boring ? Designs I don't like. The design is everything to me. I don't care what the coin is, what metal it is made of, or when...
But they do specifically say - ALL GRADES. Problem coins do not have a grade. And if they have no grade, then how can they be included ?
And doing that will harm the coin. Vinegar is acidic and will eat into the surface of the metal. Salt, all by itself, even when dissolved in...
After re-reading your first post, and then this one, I'm not sure what you're asking us here. In your first post you said - Now maybe I'm not...
Ask them and find out.
That depends on what grading standards you base the over-grades on. Especially since PCGS doesn't even follow their own written and published...
