Well I'll tell ya what. You get a toned coin, pick one of your choice. You go dip it in acetone yourself. See it with your own eyes. Then go...
Both of what ? I'm a bit confused by that. But the reason no one can tell well done AT from NT is because they are both caused by exactly the...
Then I guess you need to ask Heritage if there is, or was, a glitch in their system that could explain the recent changes you mention. What I...
Yes toning can be removed, but not by acetone.
Yeah, if the AT is completely amateurish. Other than that, nobody can tell one from the other. Though there are many who claim to be able to do so.
No it can't. Not unless it's some poor attempt at AT where the toning is painted on the coin.
I've used the term pimples to describe raised bumps on coins like that for years. But with these plated cents, I think the correct term is...
Dick if you check the populations for lots of coins back over the years you'll find similar increases. Maybe none as dramatic as that last one,...
As Siggi has said, you can protect the coins from cabinet rub by putting them in Air-Tites. And mahogany is the only wood recommended for coin...

Well I'm no chemist like you Thad, but this is the first time I have ever heard anyone say that PVC damage and verdigris are the same thing. Even...
My guess is that cleaned up pretty nice. I'll say 67 DCAM.
About the only thing I can suggest to you is that you contact some of those sellers, explain to them what you want, and be patient. Other than...
Yeah, it's because the "shine" wore off. What I mean by that is that the hype has finally died and the market for these sets has done what it has...
I agree.
You'd have been far better off saying that to begin with instead saying what you said. I don't think there's a single person who's read this who...
Maybe, but I would disagree Thad. PVC is only slimy on the beginning stages. In later stages it dries out and turns flakey. In even later stages...
OK - but you are buying the set with the full intention of selling it - right ? And the only reason you would even buy it sealed to begin with is...
While I can't say this is definitive, I have an idea of what might be going on. Remember how much flack the TPGs got for body-bagging coins,...
Reaching ? The point is this - why would anybody buy coins they cannot see, let alone pay extra for them to boot ? If anyone doesn't understand...
