Now take a look. Looks like post strike damage to me.
I agree. But the lines from the harsh cleaning are still in exactly the same places they were, they are now just easier to see.
There is no better evidence than the before and the after compared to one another. As for written standards, they don't even have any and never...
What "true" evidence ? Funny thing about the word evidence - what it means is that something is there right in front of you, that is plain to...
In order to understand what dipping does to a coin you really need to see it with your own eyes. The same thing goes for understanding what "blast...
Perhaps I misunderstood your tone, but it seemed to me that you faulted the mint for using the vendor they are. My question is, how is it any...
I think it would make 63 easily.
Or you can buy generic boxes that all of the slabs will fit into ;)

But it doesn't have anything to do with the staff. What it has to do with are the grading standards that the staff, regardless of who they are,...
Let's put it this way. If the prints are more than say a week old it wouldn't get them off anyway. But there's even more to it than that. Let's...
Well, it's an acid that eats away the softer metal around the harder metal where the date was. That's the only reason it works. As to the damage,...
The coin has been harshly cleaned. It has also been lightly polished. It was found in the ground as evidenced by the light corrosion.
The ways I listed below are the only ways there are - period.
A lot of people ask that question. But that's because they usually don't realize what happened to those 2 companies a couple of years ago....
I guess it depends on if you want problem coins in your collection or not. Only you can answer that question.
