No Ruben it doesn't defy anything. But apparently you have a lack of understanding. Look at the two coins in the links below, would you say those...
Thank you, now I know what you are talking about and understand. This is the coin in question that started this thread - [ATTACH] This is...
Then start looking in other places besides ebay.
Ruben if you soak a coin in distilled water that's cleaning it. If you soak a coin in acetone that is cleaning it. Neither one of those things...
Easy, because cleaning does not alter the surface of the coin.
Crop a pic and circle what you're talking about Ruben so I know for sure exactly what you are talking about. But there is no break in the middle...
Anyone "can" do it, meaning at some point in the future. But my use of the word "can" meant can you do it right now ? The answer to that is no you...
If you mean harsh cleaning, yes it does. If you mean cleaning, no it does not.
Read your own words Jason - they explain perfectly how and why dealers can make a living with coins. So when you can do the same thing they do,...
Doesn't matter which one. Any of them will work if you dilute them properly. I think if you look closer you'll see that the silver suffered...
You can't tell if it cartwheels or not in a picture. You have to move the coin to see that. But based on what I can see in the pic the coin does...
Pictures can hide things on a coin due to lighting or angle, but they cannot put things there that are not there. Had I seen the auction pics, I...
Looks to be a 2 reale to me. I agree little if any value though, less than $10 probably. And Jason, it's Carlos IIII not the III.
I'd say it has to do with subdued luster more than anything else.
Like I said Ruben you have to experiment because every single coin is going to react differently.
Good question. Of course you'd have to ask the same question about any special designation on any coin since NGC is tougher than PCGS on all of...
Truth be known, I almost said 64. But decided to give the benefit of the doubt because of the pics. ;) edit - btw, no way that Peace is a 62....
Yeah, a whole lot of experimentation. What is required is getting the dip to just the perfect strength. Not easy to do because every coin is...
Gotta be my usual self, can't go higher than 65. Marks on the neck, the cheek, the obv field, that's as high as I could grade it. Have no doubt...
Highly doubtful. NGC has been grading approx 50% more coins per month than PCGS has for quite a few years now.
Separate names with a comma.
