Smal problem with your scenario Keeper, silver is removed whenever toning is removed. It can be no other way because toning is not a color that...
I was going to stay out of this, and will probably yet wish I had, but anyway. Never have I seen a group of people who consistently try to...
Fair enough, I've seen more than a few myself. Well that's the thing with coins that have the mirrored fields like a Proof coin does. Take a...
I'm inclined to agree, with both comments.

What "true" evidence ? Funny thing about the word evidence - what it means is that something is there right in front of you, that is plain to...
In order to understand what dipping does to a coin you really need to see it with your own eyes. The same thing goes for understanding what "blast...
Perhaps I misunderstood your tone, but it seemed to me that you faulted the mint for using the vendor they are. My question is, how is it any...
