One I used to own -
Bought it about 2005 - maybe late '04.
Now here's some pics taken after 43 days. The toning is considerably more advanced. But still no lines. But look at how the area hit with the...
OK - here's some pics taken after just 3 days. But notice how much toning has happened in just that short time.
You do realize that when that coin was minted they were placed into the screw press 1 planchet at a time, by hand. Do you really think they would...
Welllllllll - since you're old enough to actually remember when it happened - I shall defer :D edit - told ya I'd getcha ;)

Yeah, but then you have a history with them too Mark. They don't give that deal to just anybody. Neither do they do it for just 1, 2 or 3 items...
Yeah, and they'd probably be making a mistake by doing so. That's an older ICG slab and with pretty much all coins pre-'64 ICG's grading is...
99 out of a 100 times that's what it is - haze. It's not grease. Yes sometimes acetone will remove it, sometimes not. The coin cleaner MS70 almost...
That and the fact that most auction houses would not even look at most of the stuff sold on ebay.
