There is no rule against posting to or re-opening an old thread. But nor is it uncommon for somebody to comment about it being done. Personally,...
Yeah, but it's free. Peter created it for CT members, not because he wants it, it doesn't benefit him any. In fact it does the opposite because we...
It not because of a desire to keep anything secret, nor is it because of a fear of flame wars. In fact, at one time we did allow responses there,...
Yeah, but there's forty eleven variations of that. Not all problems are equal.
But that's just it, you don't know what you are getting. You can never know what you are getting with any coin, until you see that coin in hand.
Yes sellers should allow returns of Det/Gen coins, especially if he has a policy of graded coins not being returnable. That is because Det/Gen...
They're sure on the devices on those, no question. And it makes it even harder to figure out o_O
But are they solid or high end for the grade ? That is the question. I think you have to remember and ask yourself a question, why does CAC even...
Well, I was thinking that it might be because Proofs are struck with higher pressures than business strikes. But the part of the planchet the...
Could be Dick, I suppose it's entirely possible that when the lines are not as bad as they are on some coins that the strike-up could be...
I won't deny that they may be, but they certainly should not be. If the differences are astronomical, that's people over-paying for the coin. A...
Those I've seen, but in all of them the lines are on the devices too. It's none being on the devices in OP's post that makes me wonder. But I...
I don't deny the possibilities. But at some point you have to acknowledge that probability far outweighs possibility.
That's debatable. It is generally agreed that heat is what causes the blisters, but the heat from annealing is much greater than the heat...
Uhhh, no. It looks just like the one posted about in post #90 of this thread, except it is white. That is the design that was chosen, one of the...
But blisters, which is what you mentioned in your first post, blisters would not be diminished. If anything they would likely break and expose the...
If so, then why don't they show on the devices ?
For Proofs they do.
Not only are people entitled to believe whatever they want, most will believe what they want, and only what they want, to believe. That is why...
The ridges are too far apart and too wide to be die polish lines, and roller marks typically do show on the devices as well as the fields, but I...
