Not so long ago there was a video posted here that showed the process at the mint as to how the Proofs were handled. It showed them all going down...
OK, is this coin tarnished or toned ? [ATTACH]
Show me the whole coin instead of just a piece of it.
rysherms - Let me ask you a question, by your definition is this coin toned or tarnished ? [ATTACH]
OK, so take your last 2 posts and put them together. In one you say the Proofs had fingerprints, in the other you show somebody wearing finger...

One that is not a silver plugged cent, and in a regular slab ? Show me.
Guys, it doesn't much matter since the company Intercept Shield no longer exists. They went out of business some time ago. But Morgandude, it...
Everything has been faked at one time or another, even the most common date coins in all denominations. You have to remember that the primary...
I don't see any way in the world that coin could make into a regular slab. It has what looks like 4 test cuts, 2 rather deep, a bad rim ding, and...
We mostly try to figure out ways to ignore you ;)
