About the only thing I can say is that it's obvious to me that the fields, obv and rev, of the '59 has been rubbed with something, probably a...
That's just it, it's not meant to mean anything specific, merely that something was done that turned the coin into a problem coin. As for the...
I don't think that coin ever saw a bag. Unless I miss my guess that came from a mint set.
And that would be just fine, good even. But that is only assuming that the grade was accurate, that it really was a 64-66. But when what they call...
I'd have to say no grade. The obv looks to have been messed with. As if somebody tried to remove the ugly dark toning, saw that it didn't come out...
Your 2 different sets of pictures are really good examples of illustrating how 1 pic can show you show something and another pic completely hide...
And James, if you read and compare the TPG grading standards to the ANA standards, the TPG standards are much, much, more lenient than the ANA...
Yeah that was true even with the old style IS boxes, but they will go in. And since you get 25% more storage per box, at only 20% more cost, that...
Yeah, they're a bit more expensive - $2 more than the NGC boxes, but they hold 5 more slabs and all slabs fit in them. So with the Intercept...
Good explanation. Now can you tell me when they are both considered to be the same, and why it matters ?
Thanks, I completely missed that :oops:
Excuse_Me, If you can describe in detail how and where you are storing your coins, we can make suggestions on what you can change or do that...
Howdy Brandon - welcome to the forum ! First of all, I edited out your email address for your own protection. That's because spam bots collect...
Not necessarily. Coins in slabs can tone in as little as a week under the right conditions, especially copper coins.
That'll work just fine ..... until they turn Red Brown or Brown in the slab. And suddenly become worth a fraction of what you paid for them.
Ian, you do realize don't you that the posts made in this thread, that you are responding to, were made almost 6 years ago ?
Bear - the only thing I would add that others haven't already said is that no coin in any given grade (whatever that grade may be) is ever worth a...
Which was exactly my point, and clearly shown to be so to anyone who does the search I suggested in my comments.
What the OP is describing is something that is so common that it often escapes notice, that being that some coins tone, sometimes rapidly, and...
A large part of the reason for the disagreement here is that a whizzed coin, or at least what is called a whizzed coin in today's world, can have...
