Yeah it definitely helps. But it doesn't give a definitive answer. There is no doubt it is too thin, but that does not explain the weird sound....
When it comes to questionable toning, I don't believe the incentives idea at all. When the TPGs say a coin has questionable toning they are...
Yes they do. But the key word is properly. That right there is your problem. What you did was an improper or a harsh cleaning. It was not a...
Read post #28 Hunt. And Blaubart, Rich - enough already. I don't want to close this thread too.
scruffy - please take a picture of this coin showing the edge while it is sitting beside another copper cent, any other copper cent. Being a thin...
As you can tell from that image Doug there are quite a few sets of coins on those trays. The Queen is 86 or 87 years old now, but from what I have...
See why I say what I do ?

It looks worn down because it IS worn down. Ahhhh, so unless the day comes that they publicly admit that they have changed and loosened grading...
That is not a coin, it is a jeton.
There is no "probably" about it. As I told you, all of the Victoria cases had the date printed right on the outside of the case. If the coins...
Well there is no accounting for what some people will do. And usually what they do is because they don't know any better. Or, they simply don't...
There is no guide for problem coins - none. Best rule of thumb I can give you is that a problem coin is worth anywhere from 20% to 80% of what a...
