It's important to note that while brushes or even rags were used to clean the dirt/debris from the dies, no brush or rag is going to polish the...
Some things to think about. Look at the areas I've circled or placed arrows on the OP's coin. Then look very same areas on genuine coins of the...
I don't have the books the attribute the coin, but I spent some time comparing it closely to Heritage examples and I can't match it up. There's...
To a point, I would disagree with the above quote as I edited it. If one knows the grading standards of the various TPGs then any given grade does...
Yes that is too heavy. It should be 13.96 grams. But how sure are you of your scale ? I would suggest taking it to a jewelry store and having it...
There's a bit more to it than that though. Those opinions are based on the standards that the company tells their graders they have to use. So it...

Never woulda guessed that's what you were talking about as I would not have ever guessed they graded it higher than 62. I thought they did it a...
Luster doesn't have anything to do with it. Look at all the dang contact marks on the coins I posted. Do you see even anywhere near that many...
Not sure what you're asking about Mike, but I assume this ? PCGS 62 0* 12* 38 0 NGC 62 0 0
Lemme show ya something here, these are the first 2 PCGS MS63 I found on Heritage. I didn't pick them out, they're just the first 2. [IMG]...
A coin struck with a corroded die will have little pimples/bumps on it. They're often referred to as struck with a rusty die. And it could be...
