Any toning that has happened by accident can be reproduced by intent. It may take decades, but it even that probably isn't true. There are lots...
So does choosing a particular kind of case, one known to accelerate toning, constitute "natural" or "artificial" toning? What if you put a bit of...
So YOU'RE the one who's been messing with my stuff!
I'm not seeing it on your auctions or your "my world" page. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a delay in getting it propagated through to those...
Yeah, they can. Not perfectly, but how many perfect human drivers do you know? Nevada is already defining laws for self-driving cars; they'll be...
This bears repeating. It's perhaps not very good for our self-image as a species, but a lot of "ineffably human" things like perceiving beauty...

I wonder if we could make any headway with an eBay false-advertising complaint, on the grounds that oxygen (from the air in the oven) most...
It sounds like you're saying that scanning a coin damages it. Of course, that's not true. If you put your coin on a flatbed scanner and scan it,...
Well, the good news is, it's not an altered 1928-S. :)
There are two shows coming up this weekend in my area, one in Greensboro, one in Rocky Mount. Has anybody been to either one? I may be looking to...
I'm eager to see the grad on this one. From your lead-up, I have to assume that it's in at least low-mid MS -- but in these photos, I'm seeing a...
If it was in with scrap coins, it's most likely because the dealer thought it was an altered 1928-S. It's possible that you're right and he was...
Seriously? They chopped one foot off the feedback system, and their solution to "improve" it is to put the other foot in a bucket of cement? An...
Separate names with a comma.
