Yeah it's possible there could still be some coins that were original and still white after being stored in bags for decades. But you have got to...
I would agree with Chris about the dip residue. As for the yellowing - I have always chalked it up to the storage method that was most...
Not me.
Being dipped in acetone does (edit) not mean a coin is doctored. On silver coins, if used properly, acetone is harmless and will leave no trace of...
Nahhhhhh - ya got one right this time :D
I wasn't trying to explain it, merely point out that the problem is not because of the browser people are using. The problem is with the code for...

I took my pictures of it in 2008.
You could easy be correct. But what about all of the people who owned the coin before him ? You also have to remember that to most people there is...
Sure it could, and it does. Problem is, we have only had wisespread ability to properly store coins for about 25 years. So coins that are older...
It's being sold on Teletrade - you can safely assume the coin is genuine. As for anything wrong, I think it is over-graded, common with this...
