If that's what you think then you don't understand my comments at all. I would readily agree that coin is lustrous. I have never claimed that MDS...
That's because they just copy and paste from each other. Website after website does it, and they don't even bother to check if the info they are...
OK, I knew that method but was hoping you had figured out something easier. personally, I don't have the patience to do it that way. For Peter's...
Hmmmm - must be an echo in here :D
It's impossible to say for sure based on pictures, but the coin does have a certain grainy look to it. And that would be enough for me to question...
If it only took ya 30 seconds then please tell me how you did it.
rmpsrpms - I would give you one more reason to reconsider what you are saying. If, as you claim, MDS and LDS coins have more luster than EDS...

Completely untrue. An idea that has been discussed at length many times and proven to be false.
Not a one of those I posted links for even qualifies as being a coin, let alone mint state. And no mint state is not a grade, it is a condition,...
Are any of these what you would call mint state ?...
Some good advice and some bad advice in this thread. But as with most things in life that is because people tend to tell others to do what they...
That's debatable. I say that because there are two terms that apply here, Mint State and as struck. And there is a difference between "as struck"...
Not exactly. You see, the coins were worth more before they were ever messed with, so the best thing to do was to just leave them alone. Or,...
Yes, he owns it.
This is the answer to your question. What he's telling you is that you can take a problem coin, a coin that would be very tough to sell at all...
Separate names with a comma.
