Do you know why that is so ? It's because regular incandescent lightbulbs produce a yellow cast due to the wavelengths of the light produced by...
That is the real point is it not ? But the real question, and the real answer, depends entirely on what the future holds, and to a certain degree...
Yes you are. PVC on coins can look any of several different ways, and have several different stages that can each look different as well. When...
Make sure you use the right kind of lightbulbs as well - GE Reveal bulbs work quite well. And turn off all other lights in the room, and close...
I would think that what you are seeing on the silver is the same thing this was - either PVC residue or PVC residue that was left over from an...
It's probably being driven by cost factors.
Yeah, there is a chart. It was posted here numerous times, was published in all the coin mags, and is probably listed right on the mint's web...

Steve - you would probably have better success, and save some money, if you posted pics of the coins before you submit them. Also, if you are...
Yes, I find the toning to be mildly attractive. But nothing to get very excited about. Whether someone likes the toning of a particular coin or...
If you are talking about the '82 & '83 coins - yeah, kind of. Choice usually means 63 or 64 - you're not gonna see any premium to speak of for...
I would say that it depends on the question. Some of the questions you ask, I don't know the answers. Maybe nobody else does either.
Not necessarly. He may have a very good source in that dealer. If the guy is willing to sell MS coins as AU, he can get some good deals. As long...
