Well yesterday when I looked it up here - http://www.pcgs.com/restoration/ - I read this - All coins restored through the PCGS Restoration...
Yes, but you need to use it correctly. The thing you need to be careful about is that no liquid comes out of the can when it is used. And to do...
I think you're a bit confused. Toning is not caused by cleaning. Typically, cleaning (which is what dipping is) removes toning from a coin - it...
One thing you need to be aware of here, listed values for Mint Sets and Proof Sets whether they come from the Red Book, CDN, one of the coin...
I don't know that I'd say that. I think it's more that they are trying to compete with NGC/NCS who has offered the same service for a long time....
Something that should be mentioned, a coin having been harshly cleaned is often very difficult and sometimes even impossible to distinguish based...
Of course the VOC is a sufficient authority, they were the monetary authority in Indonesia, even had their own mint and issued their own coins....

For the last 14 or 15 years slabbing moderns has been half or more of their business, more in the latter part of that time. Until 2001 NGC refused...
It has been about the plastic for quite a few years. Problem is, most collectors refused to acknowledge that, and the majority still do. There is...
You can of course believe whatever you want, but the statement is accurate, even when applied to other designs and series.
Click on the link to see an "unopened" box of 5 1994 Silver Premier Proof sets -...
To be honest the S94 could mean almost anything. So as suggested a picture may help provide the answer because the size and shape of the box will...
With that I would agree. But there are differences in what constitutes eye appeal. In my opinion, none of those coins have any.
What are you actually trying to find out ? Or worded another way, what will knowing the answer determine for you ? I ask because there may be...
Once you understand how dies are polished, it is not only a fair statement, it is an accurate one.
