You have that the wrong way around. Tarnish (corrosion) is bad for engineering materials (steel etc) as they hold things together. A bridge...
It is true that NGC requires three different types, but breaking out the 1916 from the 1917 T1 would actually create a 4th type. I can only think...
Ruben's characterization of the CAC as a fraud is supported by a rational argument. Your absurdly extreme opinion of the TPG's, their motives,...
Guess the grade of this 1922 Peace Dollar assigned by the TPG. Merry X-MAS and have some fun with a colorful holiday coin. No poll on this one...
The Norfolk is one of my absolute favorite Commemoratives. And my favorite Norfolk of all time can be seen below (photos courtesy of Brandon...
Isaiah, You march to the beat of different drummer don't you.
I think the guy who graded this coin made $250,000 + tips if you get my drift.
Who wouldn't. Fantastic!
I have no idea but that is one sweet looking coin in your avatar. Welcome to CT from the toning freak. Paul

I must admit that I really don't care for Seated Liberty coinage, but this thread was a real pleasure to read. I loved every bit of it. Congrats...
A Year in the Life of a Seated Dollar (in pics) I found this post on "A Year in the Life of a Seated Dollar (in pics)" interesting and have...
I agree with MS64. Very tough to see the luster with those pics. With the exception of the large distraction on the eagle's tail feathers, the...
You have me stumped. ????
I don't see anything that makes me think the coin is not genuine, but it does appear to have luster problems which means it was probably over...
The best I can offer you to get the rest is to meet me in the high limit poker room at the Borgata in Atlantic City. We will let the cards decide...
TY but the strike difference between the two eagles is astounding. Although I think the obverse of mine gives it a run for it's money until you...
Well it seems we are using market grading and you are using technical grading. This coin has the luster, strike, and eye appeal of an MS67 coin....
