Is the presence of a hairline on a mint state coin evidence of abrasive cleaning?
You basically called it a fad, I’m curious as to when you think the fad started?
I'm voting AT as well but for a different reason. That blue-violet color scheme seems to rear its ugly head across every series of coin....
He's been watching me elaborate for days and watching you resist everything I'm telling you. With respect to TPG graded coins, market acceptable...
How long have people been collecting rainbow toned coins in your estimation?
I collected rainbow toned Roosevelt Dimes, I never saw anything that looked like that. My opinion is that liquid chemical solution was applied to...
That isn't value grading. That is applying a market grading standard that determines there is an acceptable level of damage/cleaning/whatever...

I can't tell from those photos, but I'm leaning towards NT. How much is this coin listed for raw? I wouldn't pay much of a premium unless I was...
I bought them this way, the paper insert of the holder is the cause of the toning. Thank you! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I have never learned how...
Who taught you this? This is only ever done with high value rarities, they don't do this with the coins that we collect, they simply grade them...
They have to be graded by PCGS or NGC.
I ranked in 1st place for many years in that category on this forum, but he has officially taken my crown.
That is terrible that your father is sick and his coins are amazing, but you entitled the thread "What would be a good auction estimate on this?"...
Both a paper towel and sand paper can abrade the surface of a coin, but the result will look very different. Again, it’s a matter of severity....
How long do you need to soak the coin in acetone?
