Really ? I mean I don't see how anyone could. I was obviously talking about coins getting into a slab period - not the grade assigned.
You have the name correct.
Bart's right, it is from Gelderland. Delmonte #810 listed as an R1 and only struck in 1591 & 1592. Delmonte's rarity scale goes from R to R4 with...
Now how you could get that thought out of my comment I'll never know. Of course I don't mean that. I thought it was rather obvious what I...
The book you want is by Delmonte, The Silver Benelux. When I get home I'll look it up for ya.
Just like in the old days - shoot the messenger :D
Not really familiar with it but any chemical that can do what you describe would by necessity have to leave a residue on the coin. That is not...
But that is changing. There are now European grading companies and the American TPGs are opening offices all over Europe. In time, slabbing coins...
Because when it comes to regular slab or Genuine slab CAC always has agreed with the TPGs. You never could in this regard.
After looking at the Heritage pics does anybody still think that is putty ? Send the coin back to PCGS, it's over-graded by a mile.
I'd grade it 65 but unless it's an older slab figure they said 66.
No it is not normal. And the issue is not known for a weak strike. But that looks to be what this coin suffers from. And since there are so few of...
It could and will vary form day to day. But practically any dealer that sells world gold will have them.
I do not think that is toning and I'm reasonably certain the coin would never make it into a slab. As I said, I'm pretty sure that coloring is...
I'd say smoke damage since there looks to be a piece of melted mylar on the bottom reverse -
Nothing magic about it, it's a type of corrosion. There is no way to fix a problem coin, once a problem coin always a problem coin. You might...
I think there is some dirt and grime that could be removed and the toning left alone. There is no staining that I can see. Would it affect the...
Jim, you don't need any subscription to read this - http://matsci.uah.edu/courseware/mts501/reports/sschwitalla.html And in it they say what I...
They get to decide which way it goes and it could go either way. And yes, you have to accept whichever they choose.
Hmmmm - maybe not, but it looks like one to me.
Separate names with a comma.
