That's pretty accurate.
Examples ? I've explained it many times. A coin can be soaked in distilled water until dirt and grime is rinsed away. No harm is done to the coin....
It was ugly Mike, it was really ugly :D Some cool coins from that period though ;)
That is not true.
True, but there's a bit more to it than that. For years before the mint had sold annual Mint Sets (business strikes) and annual Proof Sets...
I would change that sentence if it were me. In general, the prices of US coins has been inflated for some time. But they are currently deflating,...
I'd have to go XF.
creme - Look at your pic of the obv fully blown up. Now look closely at at the neck and head. See how the surface of the high points is somewhat...

Thought I answered that question in my post #340. But I'll repeat it - yes. Even the guy who made the video agrees with me. As I said several...
Scary part is if you waited 6 months and then sent the exact same coins in again - you'd get a whole different set of numbers in most cases.
First of all, did you notice that the 2nd coin you linked, also a 67, sold for $21 ? Now then, you say you think $161 for that '42-D is a bargain...
Probably the closest thing to a correct answer that you can get is - not enough.
With PCGS only the center band must be full and unbroken. With NGC all 3 bands must be full and unbroken. With this coin, the center band is not...
It's probably a waste of time but I am going to try and explain this again. I believe a large part of the reason that many people don't understand...
