I dunno, only thing that makes sense to me is that the edges were ground down too much before hubbing. We're not talking a great deal here, I...
This was the most glaring mistake I ever saw them make -
I can't give you a definitive answer because I don't think anyone knows. There were 2 methods employed by the various mints around the world to...
Part of what you are saying is true, but part is not. Quoted from VAM World - ".....Field has more curvature than any other Morgan dollar and is...
Poor wording on my part. Yes they can and will remove toning, but typically only if the toning is unsightly or potentially harmful. As it was with...

No, I didn't tell him not to ask advice at all. I merely showed him/her a way to find information for him/herself. Luckily, turtledove took my...
You seem to be under some sort of misunderstanding here. NCS does not remove toning, neither will PCGS. They won't even attempt it. And what...
If you wanted to play the crack out game some probably would. There's more going on with those Canadian Proofs than just the texture of the...
