Agreed! One might also keep in mind that even pretty toning can eventually turn almost black. I have a couple of GSA CC's graded MS64 by NGC that...
If you stated your reason(s) why in a calm, concise manner, then that would be acceptable. If you said something like, "No way this coin is XF!" ,...
There are two different kinds of toning, natural toning (NT) and artificial toning (AT). Like I said, TECHNICALLY, it is termed damage, but NT is...
Technically speaking, toning is damage. It is not an error. The "E" and "CA" are circulation damage. Chris
You're the one who doesn't understand. It is listed in the PCGS database, but "Mint Errors" are not categorized. The same is true for the NGC slab...
It's approximately 10% O/C. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Chris
First, welcome to the neighborhood, Kandis! The steel cent was necessary because the US needed copper for the war effort. There were more than...

Kevin, you'll find the same thing in the NGC Census. Error classification is just way too broad a category to list individual examples. For...
Agreed! Chris
Cutting the sheets and bricks is not an exacting science. Errors do happen. Chris
It's hard to find stats on most errors. Sometimes, there could be dozens available while other times the mistakes are caught by Mint employees...
First, welcome to the neighborhood, Brien! Unfortunately, there are dozens of "basement slabbers" for every one of the reputable firms. Their...
I can't give you any details, but I do like the letter transfer on the obverse. Chris @rww67 - By the way, welcome to the neighborhood!
I've only submitted a couple of coins that came back PF70UCAM. One of those is a Top Pop at NGC because it is a variety, and PCGS doesn't have it...
Are you kidding? Goats will eat anything. That's why they aren't allowed in IHOP! Chris
When negotiating a price, never, never, never try to get a lower price by giving the coin a bad rap. You will more than likely be shown the door...
