Not at all, that comment is merely semantics. As I have said many time before - cleaning and conservation are the exact same thing. In order to be...
No they do not. There is a fundamental difference in what NCS does and what a coin doctor does. In simplest terms it is this - - a coin doctor...
You can see everybody's grade just by clicking on one of the numbers.
To answer your question - they can do it because they do not follow the ANA standards. They have their own, different set of standards. But in...
Make that '47 and '36. And be aware there was no 1950 Mint Set. I collected these sets for many, many years and still never managed to complete...
3 or 4 years ago I would have agreed with you 100% clad, in fact I have many, many times on the various forums. But no longer. Today the pops for...
Well, right there is the primary difference in our grading I guess. I for one do not believe that all those chatter marks on the face and shoulder...
As many have said, my grade would be 58. I suspect NGC said 65 or 66.

There is only 1 thing that could cause it to happen - excess heat. And if you had tha much heat around your coins you have a bigger problem than...
Not to sidetrack your thread here Thad, but this is something that is worthwhile for those who are unaware of it. It is important to know that...
If that is indeed a die crack running vertically in front of the ear (I find it very distracting and it was the first thing my eyes were drawn to)...
Dick anybody who has watched your posts over the time you have been a member here pretty well knows what you buy and what you don't buy. So if all...
No, not at all. Again, in any market the difference between bid and ask is only a few percentage points at most and often much less than that....
To my knowledge there is no method by which the orange peel effect itself can be duplicated either accidentally or on purpose. If you know of one...
They don't dare make it specific ! That closes too many doors and puts them in direct conflict with the TPGs. My point regarding dipping, and...
Separate names with a comma.
