In my experience, both PCGS & NGC tend to ignore unattractive toning rather than penalize for it unless the toning impacts the luster on the coin....
Rather than use complex terms like "mind's eye" I would rather just explain why those people changed their minds about the coins. Obviously, they...
My Lord, obverse please!
I'm interested. For all those criticizing and bashing the CAC, what is your take on gradeflation?
Kurt, come on. I thought you were saying that bidiots were overpaying for brown mottled toned coins at auction. Now you are claiming that PCGS...
I posted that back on page 7, it was widely ignored!
My guess is that it was Bob Campbell, he made a video that is widely known throughout the numismatic community. I don't remember him saying that...
If you don't mind, I am going to use my own scale rather than simply AT or NT, OK? 1) Borderline QT/MA 2) MA 3) Widely Accepted 4) MA 5) AT...

I don't know where you got that information from, but it is wrong. Toning is not like a virus, it doesn't spread on its own. The rainbow toning...
Kurt, nobody is paying a premium for brown splotches. The fact is that most toned coins (both AT & NT) carry absolutely no premium at all. Coins...
Too scared to join the debate huh. Don't worry, it is a typical trait of trolls who don't have the requisite knowledge to compete. So go ahead...
While I understand your point, when it comes time to sell your coins, prospective buyers will value JA's opinion, not yours. I think what most...
Yeah, Jay has been sitting on that puppy for a while now.
You seek to stir the pot with inflammatory posts then cry like a baby when people don't take kindly to your posts. Your intention was to...
With respect to raw coins, I have a big problem with it. Graded coins inherently have the approval of the professional graders that the toning on...
A Travis sighting, how is it going man?
