Yes, they have no choice if the coin is covered under their guarantee. A color qualifier ? No. But there is in some cases a qualifier. For...
It's not just you, everybody else sees it too. But that doesn't mean it isn't weak. Nickels are notorious for having a weak strike, particularly...
Not really. Single sided toning is commonly found among all types of toning. End of roll, roll, bag, textile, tab, album, - you can find examples...
Sure Paul go ahead and tell us, I'm sure there is some point to be made by it.
Let's see now, you have so far admitted, either here or in other recent threads, that the TPGs have intentionally changed their grading standards...
