This thread brings up a question that I have often wondered about but yet never been able to find an answer. That being - when, what year or...
Right off the top of my head I would think that toning was purely artificial and that it would in fact lessen the value. As for grade - maybe 63...
That's part of the problem spock - people "think" a lot of things, most of them untrue. They tend to base their "thoughts" on isolated incidents...
You and I are in agreement clad. It just seems that there are others who are not.
Well again, I think you must first consider the way this "grading consensus study" was carried out. Heritage asked 26 dealers to grade 75...
No argument with that either ;) When you are looking for a seller, they are plenty of good ones out there. And it's not hard to find them....

Oh I'm aware, all to well aware. But then the reason I asked the question was to see if you were really aware. Yes Coin World conducted an...
That is correct. But then that's one of the reasons that TPG's exist - because they can tell. That is also why there are classes and books - so...
I understand that feeling all too well ;)

That is the generally accepted terminology. Problem is, not everybody follows it. Too many will describe a coin as Gem BU and it will be nowhere a...
Yeah - too bad they painted it on. Calm down Allen, don't have a heart attack. Devil made me say it :D
