I'd say it's an absolute certainty that it has been dipped - over-dipped even.
Even thinking that a hobby that has lasted 2000 years or more is going to go away any time soon isn't very good thinking IMO. Yes the hobby is...
Then you need to start looking closer. Again - you are only assuming they are planchet marks. And what does a lack of planchet marks have to...
What about them ? Nobody even knows what methods NCS uses. We only assume that they dip coins, but we don't know that they do. Nor do we know what...
To say or even think that planchet marks don't ever make it to a finished coin is foolish. But it is equally foolish to think that there are as...

The one that Coin World puts out would probably come the closest, but it's only for the top 100 coins - or was it 50 ? Either way - another...
I think you'd find this is pretty much what it looks like in hand -
But the pictures are going to help you even less. Many things are not even visible in pictures depending on the lighting, the angles and the...
It has nothing to do with gold. It has to do with the absolutely stupid amounts of money people are paying for the coins. It's very similar with...
