Apparently you still don't get it. There are several things that can cause raised lines on a coin. Die polish lines, die scratches, tool marks on...
Fact - ASE's can tone like that naturally, and look exactly like both of the coins posted in this thread. Fact - ASE's can be toned artificially...
I have an open mind, do you ? If you did you would readily recognize the difference between what is physically possible and what is not physically...
Not the question I asked. I asked you what is going on with that quarter. In other words, in your opinion do you think all of those lines are die...
Dave if we talking about the new ICG, I would agree with you 100%. But that's the point I was making, there are variables. The old ICG and the new...
Gnomey - are you aware or have you ever heard what happened to the value of coins, in particular Morgans, in the 1980's ? As they say, a picture...
There was a study done, seems like 6 or 7 years ago, about this. It was published in Coin World at the time. The result was that the population...
The person who posted about your shop, was recommending your shop as being a good one !

Yes it does, I should have read what he said more carefully. I was merely trying to point out that not all slabbed coins actually get CAC...
No, but pictures can. That said it's possible you are right. But I still think the coin has been dipped. Cleaning a coin with a cloth, or...
Actually no, the worst is that the coin does not get a sticker. Not more accurate, more strict, or conservative. I think it's pretty simple....
Much simpler to just polish out the scratches on the slab.
What you offered is the going rate, and looking at Heritage, the recently sold 62s all look better than this one. I'd pass.
Looking at the coin I would have to say that yes it has been dipped. The question is if the coin has been over-dipped. Unfortunately that cannot...
I would say the exact opposite. Harshly cleaning your coins was the accepted, even recommended, practice in Europe since long before the US even...
Fair enough.
Sometimes yes but not always. That was my point, it's not an absolute. I have seen coins that were completely black and then dipped, and out comes...
