Well whatever it is I'd say it needs to be removed to protect the coin. Buy yourself some coin dip and dip it. But don't over-dip it - dip for 1...
NGC made their anouncement the very same day that PCGS did.
Pretty simple - how to refine silver - brings up this -...
Sure, if he knows how. And it isn't illegal either ;)
Not as long as you post it in the Auction section ;) Anywhere else, and Guido will be paying you a visit :D
PM sent ;) And yes Mike, I said that just for you :D
My guess is that the coin was toned completely black. Somebody put some household chemcial cleaner on it to try and remove the black toning. What...

If they did, then they'd have to start bagging those that they (PCGS) conserve ;)
I don't disagree that all forms of payment are a form of bartering. What I am trying to say is this. Had he minted his coins and sold them as...
Ahhhh, my mistake. Afraid I can't help ya there.
Looks like a die crack to me. And while it may be more common to find die cracks near the edges, they can appear anywhere.
It will not even be put through the sniffer - unless he submitted it under the Secure Plus grading tier. As for the grade, I expect it will be...
