And if we did you'd have 20 pages of pinned sticky threads to scroll through before you ever got to something you actually wanted to read ;)
I guess that depends on who the excuse is for. The mint looks for vendors worldwide. All potential vendors must be able to meet certain standards...
No need to delete it, there are thousands of others just like it ;)
There's a couple of issues here. First of all you did this with "junk silver". Most people wouldn't bother with junk silver because it's a waste...
No, it has to do with looking at the results - the coins and the grades on the slabs. Now you can that an opinion if you want, I call it cold,...
But it doesn't have anything to do with the staff. What it has to do with are the grading standards that the staff, regardless of who they are,...
Let's put it this way. If the prints are more than say a week old it wouldn't get them off anyway. But there's even more to it than that. Let's...

Soap is pretty much always a bad idea because it leaves behind a residue that you can't get off the coin. That alters the surface. And as I...
That thinking is a common misconceltion. Quite often a coin without the special designations will be a nicer coin. It will often have a better...
Happy Birthday Dick !!
Using paint you can't just insert the arrows - you have to draw the arrows. When you open Paint you'll have a tool bar with lots of little...
Well not exactly. The reason that many collectors, and many experts such as Dave Bowers, are against the use of the special designations (or think...
That's the way it used to work, but not anymore. NCS no longer slabs any coins. Ever since NGC agreed to use detail slabs all coins worked on by...
