Do you agree that an MS Morgan is worth more than an XF Morgan of the same date/mint ? Or that an XF Morgan is worth more than F Morgan of the...
It won't hurt them. But whatever medicine was in the bottles easily could. They must be cleaned thoroughly before use. But it is a simple...
Doubtful. For one, submissions seem to indicate quite the opposite. But that calls into question the grading of the TPGs. Back in '05 69s were...
Gonna getcha for that :D Cloud is correct. It is quite easy to get taken to the cleaners when buying gold coins if you do not know them very,...
It did remove the verdigris. Problem was most of that discoloration was not verdigris, nor due to verdigris.
When I am buying I don't care if the coin is slabbed or not, all I care about is who the seller is. As long as you know your seller you can buy...

Oddly enough this one of those where I agree with the TPG in that that is not a cut, regardless of how much it might look like one. But I do...
Consider - Your price range for the coins is $400-$600. The value of a 1/4 oz of gold is approx $300. The two coins weigh approx 1/4 oz and...
if you post a picture of both sides of the slab we can probably pin it down pretty close for you.
You will never be able to find that out. The people that make these fakes keep no records and they sure don't advertise that they are making them.
If what you say is true Michael I have a hard time believing that PCGS would slab it - and they did. Or that Heritage would fail to describe...
My guess is that it is a Chinese fake. Have you weighed it ?
All of them are listed in this thread - http://www.cointalk.com/t14179/
