Sadly Phil, too many have.
You're stealing my lines again Rusty :D
No, none of them are. 100% pure gold doesn't really exist. About the closest we can get is 99.99% Gold Buffalos are 99.95%, American Gold Eagles...
C'mon Ben, wake up. You know as well as I do that the reason people send these bullion coins in to be graded and slabbed is because there are...
No, I am talking about the R in TRUST. The entire letter is misshaped and the right leg is missing. Now that may be due to a hit or slight damage,...
You probably won't ever see such pics. It would require that somebody took a series of pics over a period of time as the toning progressed.
My first impression would be to tell you that it is a fake coin. The legends are somewhat mushy, there is a blundered R on the obv, and all the...
Mike the only point is for BNB to hear it from someone who has not been involved in these discussions. Someone who has only been involved in the...
I didn't give you a link, that is his user name here on the forum. Just send him a PM, tell him I asked you to and asked you to ask him those...
I'm not missing your point at all. In fact I agree with it to a degree. But it seems that you are completely ignoring my point. That being that we...
BNB - did you contact silvereagle82 like I asked you to ? Please, do. Ask him how he did in the beginning. Then ask him how many hours he thinks...
What you and some others would find even more surprising is that the old ANACS was probably the toughest, or strictest, grading company there was....
fretboard that is true of all coins and that is what grading is all about to begin with. No two coins are equal in every respect - ever. Each one...
Did you read the listing ? It is a mint error coin. While I think the price pretty steep, I have no doubt somebody will buy it.
I think the coin has some very light wear on the reverse, but I suspect a TPG would grade it MS anyway. What would hurt it grade wise IMO is that...
I can't see anything that would make me suspicious. But I hope you didn't pay much for them. Even if 100% genuine they aren't worth much more than...
The problem is that coin was graded and slabbed by ANACS after ANACS was bought by a new owner and they changed, greatly loosened, their grading...
Precisely, they were not milk spots to begin with.
Well, if it makes ya feel better, it still would have developed the same spots even you had left it in the slab ;) 'Course I figure you already...
Neither NGC no PCGS refuse to grade & slab a coin because of milk spots. They do it every day. And if it was so easy jello, and acetone worked...
Separate names with a comma.
