There are many coins, including various varieties and errors, and tokens, that PCGS will not grade - but NGC, or ANACS, or ICG - will sometimes...
My suggestion, run, do not walk, away from that coin. Not only is - whatever that is that you pictured - problematic, there is more, what looks...
There is no single or annual release date, the coins are released at numerous times over the course of the year. And, not all denominations are...
I know cost is relative, but spending a few thousand on something that allows you to make tens of thousands is nothing.
I could be wrong, but I'm not sure it's genuine.
No, they would list whatever the problem was just like they do now on the slabs. If the problem was altered surfaces the label with the body bag...
And what would the seam look like if the person doing this used a sonic welder himself to reseal the slab ? Sonic welders are easy to come by,...
Here's the thing, when you dip a coin that has milk spots on it, the milk spots simply remain. In other words they are not affected at all and...
Just as an FYI- I know you've only been a member here for a short time so you're probably not aware of this, but once something has been posted...
I'm wondering if perhaps the coin in question was returned in a body bag before the TPGs started slabbing problem coins in 2007. Back then, all...
I get your point, but many foreign coins were legal tender in the US until 1857.
Yes, it is possible. But as I said earlier, the TPGs have slabbed literally millions of coins that had verdigris on them before they were ever...
That's probably the most commonly held theory. And it's not just ASEs, the problem occurs on coins from mints worldwide. And they don't all use...
Yes ! Nobody knows for sure, all they have are theories.
In this manner - Ya see Charley, there's apparently more than a few things that you're not aware of. For example, Thad and I have known each...
Seems there's more than 1 hair that needed to be split.
If you know what you want, look online a couple days before before you go to the show and see what prices are. Then, go to the show and check...
I did that once, and rather large one. But only because I was selling, not buying :)
And that's kind of my point. Verdigris is not active corrosion. Verdigris is the result of active corrosion. In other words, verdigris only...
You gotta remember there's always more than 1 grader. There's always at least 3 and sometimes 4 - and none of them missed it. There are...
Separate names with a comma.
