If I was a betting man, and I am, I'd bet that is AT. Why ? Because just as a fake looks like a fake, AT looks like AT. Natural toning just...
Your question is a lot more complicated than one might think. There are several possibilities with any given coin in any given grade. The coin can...
Didn't even know such a page existed.
When you're ready to buy one, look here - http://www.sedwickcoins.com/ - and you won't have to worry about it being a fake, or being over-priced ;)
I agree Tom. But then you have be buying the coin and not the plastic, or sticker. Most will walk right by a nicer coin to buy one that has a...
Actually I think they grade about 100,000 coins a month, NGC does closer 150,000. But the lion's share of those are all moderns. 'Course that...
Yeah and all that proves it that some people are willing to spend more than they need to, or should. Between NGC and PCGS they have slabbed...

That link I provided tells you exactly what they will recognize. They do not recognize any others.
But do you realize that once toning reaches the black stage that the toning itself can and will destroy the coin ? What I'm telling you is that...
That's not a carbon spot. Though I will grant you that more than a few people do call any dark spot on a coin a carbon spot, but that doesn't mean...
Yeah and that is no different than sending a coin in one time and having it graded 64, sending it in again and having it graded 65. Or, sending...
First let me make clear that the specific comments in this post have nothing to do with MS70, but are instead an example of an answer to your...
And I didn't say there was a premium for grading those. I was merely point out that PCGS does not decide which coins merit a premium. And that...
