Probably the closest thing to a correct answer that you can get is - not enough.
With PCGS only the center band must be full and unbroken. With NGC all 3 bands must be full and unbroken. With this coin, the center band is not...
It's probably a waste of time but I am going to try and explain this again. I believe a large part of the reason that many people don't understand...
No, I don't think. I know it for a fact because I went and looked before I answered.
Not when the pics are hosted on another site there isn't. And it took about 10 seconds for the pic to load for me. Of course that will vary...
10 years - no way. 30 years - I'd still have to say no. Although there may be some exceptions in various other denominations mint/mark...
You might want to look a little closer guys, you don't get a railroad rim from misaligned dies. And that coin has a railroad rim. You get it from...
Cherd as long as you leave coins, any coins, out in the open like that they ARE going to tone (tarnish). That's just a fact of life. Put them...
It doesn't render it moot at all. Just because the TPG grades the coin as a +, that doesn't mean that CAC will agree it is a +.
However, had you stored it properly the tarnishing would not have occurred. That's a point that many seem to miss. There is more to proper...
Any way you want to look at it it's a bad idea, many have been mentioned. Sure you could put a coating on the floor, but what kind of problems do...
And that should have been your first clue that something was wrong. For it if was an AU coin then it should have a good deal of luster - and it...
Yeah, should of mentioned that one myself. I'll claim a brain cramp :D
Could be wrong, but I don't think that's an ordinary cud. Looking at the inside edge of it I believe it is also a cracked planchet, and the coin...
No, not dull. It would just turn black. Bad idea IMO to use any coins for that. Copper, silver whatever, except maybe gold, and if you walk on it...
Mike some countries do have books comparable to the Red Book in the US. One of them is even red - Monnaies Francaises by Gadoury. He puts out a...
Log - given what you have expressed an interest in, I would suggest that you contact this forum member - http://www.cointalk.com/member.php?u=246...
So far every explanation offered has been the same. A worn out die, die deterioration, a series of die chips - those are all the same thing when...
First of all you are suffering from a mistaken belief - rare/valuable coins are not always in high demand. That's why they can lose 50%, or more,...
Do you know of even 1 thing that doesn't cost more now than it did 30 years ago ? I sure don't. So what good does asking that question do ?...
Separate names with a comma.
