Here's a nice one I found at the last show I went to. Bright, lustrous. Sent in to NGC.... CLEANED. Why a quarter with great details needed...
It really depends on how valuable the loose coins are. So all the stuff that is not valuable enough to be slabbed to me means minimal protection....
Based on the responses in this list, NGC has trained everyone to be a tough crowd!
While I am an NGC fan and appreciate the different slabs and labels they produce for some special instances, some just seem to hype up what would...
Some things are just random. I dont think it was purposely done one way or the other. Lincolns bust for the cent was done in 1909. The Barber...

Well, they're $40 now and people are paying that.
It's well established that MS coins can be pulled from circulation. If pulled from circulation early enough. Would not be surprised to see a...
With all that was going on in the mid to late 1800s with coinage you'd think more would've been saved. Granted I think a Civil war soldier made...
