Apparently there really are, shall we say, gullible, (just to be nice) people out there :rolleyes:
The gremlins are gonna getcha, hide and watch :watching: You just better pray you never do see him :D
I do, the margins gives someplace convenient (off to the side) to rest your cursor. Otherwise, with no margin, your cursor is always producing...
As said hard to tell from the the pics but if I had to guess it would be because of the reverse fields. The toning there looks to be such that the...
Works for me ;) edit - now quit changing crap before ya screw something up and I have to send Guido to visit you :D
While I voted for the size of the Banknote forum I actually preferred the size we had before you changed it. You say the BN forum is set at 5% and...
Enough ! I have removed several posts from this thread and I expect those who made them to stop & cease their personal arguments here and now.
Get, read, and study all the books you can find on grading because you'll need all the help you can get. The ANA and PCGS grading books are the...

I agree it has that look, but more so in the hair to me. That was the first thought that came to my mind when I looked at the coin. But a close...
Remember what I have always explained, that when grading to start at the bottom and work your way up, not to start at the top and work your way...
If you click on the pics so they expand to full size you can see traces of the green in most of the recesses and protected areas, particularly the...
My guess is the wood they are encased within caused the toning.
And that is the entire point that you seem to want to deny - PCGS says, specifically, that it is wear.
No, it doesn't. In this context when someone says spot they usually mean a small, or even tiny, circular dot. And toning on any coin does not...
And that is kind of the issue for that is that is how the coin was designed, was intended to look. The only coins prior to '73 that have the cameo...
