Don't know if I would go quite so far as to say that. There are literally thousands of coins that have been dipped and their value was...
Yes. Toning that has reached the dark stage, either dark brown or black, is generally considered to be bad because once it reaches that point it...
There is, a dip in MS70 will remove the haze from Proofs in most cases. The problem is that sometimes that haze comes back. But it almost always...
I'm more curious as to why you think it was under-graded ?
If that's true Paul then why was the coin that started this thread bagged ? Pretty much everybody here, including you, has said it more than meets...
What I can tell you is that stainless steel will absolutely rust. It just doesn't rust as fast as regular steel.
I would first ask how you know, stress know, that the labels you have assigned are indeed accurate ? I would submit to you that you don't know any...
Yes it is a very nice coin, and it looks to be an MS64 in most all respects - except one, it has light wear. Now it looks too nice to grade it...
Can't speak about platinum because I have little experience with it. But steel ? Yeah, it tones. 'Course most folks call it corrosion and or rust.

Mike I think you'll find plenty of BR coins in the slabs of both companies. And again, it is my opinion that it's not that either company ever...
Does it ? Even assuming that acetone, xylene or some other solvent will completely remove all traces of the oil - something that I'm not 100% sure...
It's not that I think it should be banned. If people want to use it on their own coins then fine, let them. But I know you can do just as much to...
Matt, you never did answer, or at least I didn't see it if you did. But those marks at 4 o'clock - is the metal disturbed there or not ?
Mike if that's what you want then just buy them. Searching for them in sets will take forever.
Paul your thinking is that by storing coins in an album with controlled temperature and humidity over a short period of time results in different...
I don't think Mike is being contradictory, I think he just misundersttod what I was saying. And I think you are misunderstanding what he is...
It only seems to be incongruous because you are making an assumption, but it's a false assumption. First, all I said was that I was sad about it....
