Wow, I never noticed that. I also want to thank you for making a civil and productive post. Congrats!
Oh wow! I just found a new game. How many members of this forum can I get on Ruben's ignore list. This is going to be fun. Sorry 50 Cent, you...
That is because it is the ultra rare steel obverse variety of the Peace Dollar.;) For about the 5th time, the term rust only applies to ferrous...
Sorry, I wouldn't grade them separately, but I think they would look cool in an NGC multiholder. I don't know the cost, but you can find that...
MS/PF70=Dead Horse
I also agree with the grade, but that is very lustrous for an MS61. The coin is definitely more attractive than your average MS61 but I don't...
There is no IKE in existence that has rust since they are not made of iron or steel. However, if you would like to see an IKE devoid of toning, I...
Wrong Again Ruben [IMG][IMG] :D
Again, this is not presented as an opinion. If you want people to take you seriously then you need to use proper terminology. The term rust only...

I think he was joking.:rolling:
Carl, Ruben doesn't present his posts as opinions, and as I have already stated, his methods will influence members of this forum that do not...
No it does not look at all like the coin you posted and it is not artificially toned. Please read another book.
OMG. Ruben are you seriously trying to say that when this coin was slabbed that the grading standards of PCGS were less conservative (looser)?...
I am an expert on toning and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that coin. Again, the toning is nice but not worthy of a significant premium....
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
And of course, you have no evidence of that. If you can explain to me how a coin would tone that dramatically in a slab I would be amazed. This...
Toning is unavoidable over a long period of time for a raw coin. However, a slabbed coin kept in the right storage conditions will not continue...
I happen to notice that you don't provide a reason why it hurts the value of the coin. You simply state that is does as a matter of fact. In...
