I don't disagree. The only thing I was trying to say is that the name you choose to use for it doesn't change what it is. Toning, the first...
Toning can always be removed, but sometimes at a cost. And I don't mean a monetary cost, even though one may be incidental. Milk spots can...
Well circulated coins rarely achieve toning like this naturally. Corrosion/porosity makes it even less likely. If I had to guess, somebody...
As long as a coin is stored properly then continued toning is slowed down so much that it becomes almost non-existant. But if a coin is not...
I suppose it's possible. But usually when the term plugged is used regarding coins it is specifically used to describe a hole through the coin...
Mike the plastic itself is air permeable. And the zip seals are not airtight either. Do the water test I have described many times yourself, see...
Fair enough. But I thought we were trying to pin dopwn the location of the hole. It can't be in both places, not unless there was two holes. And I...
Guys, I can't believe this has gone on for 20 pages. It doesn't matter what any of you think or feel might be right or correct in this situation....

But if it is in th ebase of the E (circled with red area), then where is it on the other side ? And what does the area circled in green, which you...
I'm convinced it's the spots Dick and I marked. They did extensive work on the obv, and it incorporates the ear. And you can even see the...
Try shooting some close ups of the spots marked by Dick and I.
What does any of that have to do with the E though ?
Jello - this is what the one from the Mexico City mint looks like - [IMG] Yours is from Zacatecas.
OK - shoot your pics. But mark the spots you are talking about, maybe I'm not looking in the same place you are.
Don't think so Matt. Measure the spot you are looking at in the E from both the vertical and the horizonal lines. It doesn't line up with the...
This one didn't. But people are under the mistaken perception that natural toning only occurs after a long period of time has passed. While this...
I don't see how they could do anything else but that. edit - there is one caveat though. PCGS will grade coins as a 70 even when they are...
Attractive ? No, not to me. I will say this though. That coin is a good example of something. That bluish toning in the center, that is what we...
