I would ask you exactly what modern silver coins you are talking about since the last silver coins ever to see circulation were made in 1964. So a...
Hanz - The answer to your question depends greatly on your situation. For example, selling the coins on Heritage could take up to 3-6 months...
Howdy Craig - thanks for the kind words ! First of all you need to realize that I no longer collect coins and haven't since 2006. I sold all of...
When I was still collecting quality was always my primary concern. But I readily admit that there were some coins where it played a lesser part if...
It does, but capturing luster in a picture is not an easy task for everybody. If the angle or the lighting is slightly off then even the most...
I disagree with #1 and #2. And I don't even know what #9 means. I agree that you need to consider storage, but space should have no bearing at...
Acetone will only remove fingerprints when they are only a few days old. After that you might as well forget it, they are there to stay.
Uhhhh - if the air wasn't getting to them in those "sealed" albums you mention, the coins would not tone at all. Just wanna make sure you realize...
You are obviously not aware of it but please realize that with some coins as high as 86% of them have been graded MS70. Point being that you are...

Well you could say it's a subtle difference perhaps but there is a difference. Patterns are offered to a mint as possible designs for a new coin -...
The purpose of any pattern is to get a mint, your own or somebody else's, to select that design for use as a coin. And it doesn't have to be for...
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I have known of too many cases where a dealer is a member of the PNG and/or ANA and display their logos in their...
I've never heard of a coin that didn't have a pattern, foreign or domestic.
Actually Mike it's quite simple, and it is the same advice that has always been given to any collector, new, old or in between. That is to only...
Tim, this is nothing new. They have been doing these things for many years now, centuries even. And just about everybody is and has been well...
I'd have to say that kind of depends on the spot because not all spots are caused by toning. In fact many are caused by some sort of foreign...
I don't know that you can say there is a definitive answer to your basic question because some are going to have different opinions on the subject...
LOL ! Am I the only one who when he sees a member post something like that gets nervous because he's obviously done something wrong that he's...
Sure don't see many of those original holders very often anymore !
