First I am assuming you are talking about an individual coin. Yeah, it's easy. Just put the holder under a light and look for the seam between...
I have no doubt - they get into circulation the same way the half dollars and Sackies dated 2002 and later do.
Yes of course they could. The same thing is done with most all coins and always has. BU is merely a descriptive term, as long as there is no wear...
To the best of my knowledge PCGS has never sued anybody for talking badly about them. They do however ban them from their coin forum for doing so....
This was discussed widely in the numismatic press. The mint even provided the explanation - the coins were struck slightly over-sized planchets....
I would say yes they can. To me the first strike nonsense was nothing but a marketing ploy - a way for the TPGs to increase the bottom line. I...
Yes to everything. It could also be that someone has plated the coin with chrome or silver. If you can, please weigh the coin as that may help us...
Not exactly sure what you mean by your question. But the mint sells rolls of the Kennedy halves and bags of them. None of the coins have been...
It's just like it says Frank - Numismatic Resources Have a question about a coin or looking for particular numismatic information ? This is...

That's why I asked Nathan. It is well known that the TPGs will slab cleaned coins, they do it every day. But it is the method of cleaning that...
Howdy mlee - Welcome to the Forum !! You can email the pics to me and I will post them for you - gdjmsp@qwest.net ;)
I don't know if the coin is genuine or not, but I certainly disagree with Aidan's comment. The second image clearly shows that the coin is much...
It's because they talked NGC into giving them a bulk deal for a much lower price. All they wanted to know was - is the coin Unc or not, if it is...
I agree, it is very sad that this is happening. But do you understand why it's happening and why the TPGs are so successful ? Because the majority...
One more thing, there are two sides to being a coin dealer - selling and buying. What about the dealer who tells the customer, that knows nothing...
Nathan - did you not know that they would charge you the fees even if the coins were body bagged before you sent them in ? I mean, I can...
Looks like a solid 63 to me Bone :thumb:
