Can't remember who did it, but they are as common as dirt. Made them with every state stamped in on the coins if memory serves. It was a private...
That really depends on you and what your presonal preference is. The coin was issued in the box with the certificate, and only that way. So if...
What depends on it ? Whether or not those in PCGS slabs sell for more ? You pick a coin, any coin in any grade. And I'll just bet ya that I...
Sure. How ya do it never mattered to me much anyway. I'm the trusting sort ;)
It is a common phenomenon and it was produced by the mint bag itself. Added in with a little humdity and air. There are thousands of coins...
Ya never know, they might just do it. They do read this forum. That is a fact !
Always ? Better change that to sometimes. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1151&Lot_No=11841...
There really isn't any guide for world coins like CDN. But we can probably help you if you give us more info. What kind of coins are you talking...

As long as a coin is stored properly then continued toning is slowed down so much that it becomes almost non-existant. But if a coin is not...
I suppose it's possible. But usually when the term plugged is used regarding coins it is specifically used to describe a hole through the coin...
Mike the plastic itself is air permeable. And the zip seals are not airtight either. Do the water test I have described many times yourself, see...
Fair enough. But I thought we were trying to pin dopwn the location of the hole. It can't be in both places, not unless there was two holes. And I...
Guys, I can't believe this has gone on for 20 pages. It doesn't matter what any of you think or feel might be right or correct in this situation....
Question for you moneyer - what is patina if it is not toning ? Patina and toning are the same thing.
No, I'm stating it as a fact. Not even close. There is no such thing as an airtight coin holder. Not thos emade by the mint, and not those...
But if it is in th ebase of the E (circled with red area), then where is it on the other side ? And what does the area circled in green, which you...
Separate names with a comma.
