ow - never in my life have I seen a low VF coin that had any luster. It's not the pics. Here's one that is AU, and has luster -...
They do. But from the time it leaves the mint there may be 6-8 weeks, maybe more, before the coins ever get to the point that they are ready for...
No, it isn't. Luck is luck - period. If you win the lottery, was that superior planning ? No, it was blind luck. If you're in a poker game and you...
No, I don't think it's been harshly cleaned at all. Nor does it have any luster - none. It appears to be a well circulated, one with a lot of...
No, it isn't. Moderators are moderators so they can enforce the forum rules. What most people seem to forget is that Moderators, includingme,...

A whole lot more likely that they just followed him and waited for the opportune time.
JBlade - What you have to understand is this. It doesn't matter what the coins cost. There's 3 basic things that are required if you wish to...

It almost looks like something was against the coin in that location (thus preventing toning in that spot) when the coin was toning.
And here I thought you were too smart to watch stuff like that :devil:
I'd disagree with that Thad. The coins that I have always found toned the fastest are those with the best luster. And a harsh cleaning destroys...
Join the club Lance, I was known to do similar things from time to time at that age. I think most of us were.
I'm kind of confused by this coin. To me it shows obvious signs of wear, but for the most part the wear is in all the wrong places. And for a coin...
I don't think the coin looks whizzed at all. But I am put off by the color and the grainy and bumpy appearance. I don't care for the light scratch...
Toning and tarnish are EXACTLY the same thing, and both are "in" the metal not on it. Patina ? Well, that depends on who you ask, and I suppose...
Some will probably think this is a rare occasion, (that I agree with the TPGs), it isn't, but some will think it is. I agree wholeheartedly with...
