Too much trouble ? Not at all. I once sent off 2 packages at the same time, each insured for $25k. It was worth every bit of the trouble to me.
I think they made other provisions regarding a check on the coins being minted when the law permitting the minting of bullion coins was written....
OMG ! :eek: :eek: Say it isn't so ! Devil made me say it, I swear he did :devil:
I agree with the others, leave it. But I think it worthwhile to make an additional comment. It is not unusual, in fact it is pretty common, that...
The problem - sometimes it the holes (more often than not), but sometimes it's the coins. Coins wear, and it doesn't take much.
No, it isn't like that at all. That company is purely for loans. An advance is money that is to be deducted from the proceeds of sale. That's...
Of course luster plays a part. But it is not the only part that matters. Nor is any coin that is graded MS62 required to be lustrous. And what you...
There are thousands of coins toned exactly like that and some of them are graded as high as MS67. Do I think they deserve a 67 when they look like...
Yes, dipping can indeed remove luster from a coin. "Can" is the operative word. But just because it "can" that does not mean that it will ! As I...
Hmmmm - in my Krause there is no Belgian Proof Set for 1999. I cannot find one on Numismaster either. There is however a 10 piece Mint Set from...
Sorry rodeo but leadfoot is 100% correct. I have seen coins that were heavily toned and correctly graded, then be dipped and resubmitted for...
Mike I don't know of a single coin where that would happen. I know your comment is supposed to be illustrative, but there are too many people who...
Yes the auction houses will most definitely give you a cash advance once you consigned your coins to them for sale in one of their auctions. The...
I agree with that part. Actually they will grade coins, any coins, that have light wear as high as MS67.
It's not dirt, it is toning. And no, it would not rub off. That grey toning is far and away the most common toning found on all silver, copper...
OK, it got "swooped on". But that doesn't mean that whoever did the swooping was very smart by doing so. Yeah that's pretty much the same logic...
On the contrary Zeke, my eyes are the pitts. They are only a fraction of what they used to be. I miss that, really miss it. But thanks for the...
On the contrary, I am, still, 100% convinced it is a cast fake. There is nothing you can post, there is you can say, there is nothing you can...
Do it with any lustrous coin you can get from pocket change Jeff, you'll see I am right soon enough. And as I stated, yes, you can remove toning...
Of course there would be money - whoever wins the auction has to pay whatever they bid on the auction. No, this one isn't going to fly.
