They don't even need a law because there is no law the prevents the melting of the coins. There is a ruling issued by the Treasury that prohibits...
It's the exact same story, just posted someplace else.
OK, but it would be rare for that to happen. Even plain water will cause silver to corrode, let alone other chemicals in the dirt. But I'll agree...
No, they are not. And they have not been since the early 1990's.
They've been trying to do that for 30 years, it's still here. Probably will be for another 30. As for ignoring the laws, yeah OK. Most laws are...
Well, they are both wrong.
And that is exactly why the ban WILL NOT be lifted, probably ever. At least not unless copper drops in price one heck of a lot. Why do you think...
No, actually that's a bad idea. For if you start shopping coins at a show the other dealers at the show know exactly what you are doing by the...
I do, me. I used to track both the NGC and PCGS pops. I still do, but to a lesser degree than I used to. But ya know what, you can too. All you...
Bit there is no special finish on the 2011 coins.
Then I don't know Mike, or rather can't say with any degree of certainty. Maybe they just screwed up, or maybe they did it on purpose. Who knows....

I do not of even 1 dealer who ever give you a price or estimate on a coin or coins without seeing the coins in his hands first.
I know Mike. But if we don't speak up now and then aren't we doing people a disservice ? There are a great many people who follow these threads...
And in most cases acetone will not remove ordinary dirt and grime. At least it won't remove any more dirt and grime than ordinary distilled water...
Well that's kind of my point Rusty, it is also my entire reason for participating in these polls. As I said in the very beginning when rlm started...
Well the 2001 coins are not SP (specimen, or SMS) any more because they are no longer satin finish. Are you sure the ones on TV were 2011 coins ?...
But that's my point, it was not just the appearance high grades being assigned to the satin finish coins. Those high grades were also being...
I doubt it because PCGS is not a publicly traded company. They are just one of the many companies owned by Collector's Universe, which is a...
I assume it is on the outside of the slab ? Looks like a dealer's label to me.
