But die polish marks cannot show up on the devices because die polishing is done with a flat zinc plate that is much larger than the die and that...
Except for a tiny detail - die polishing does not leave marks on the devices - only the fields. Neither do I, except for what I have...
Do you have any idea who the seller is ? Do you have reason to suspect that the seller knows anything at all about coins ? When you see some idiot...
For the most part, yes. Most people don't understand the difference between technical grading and market grading. The 1st and 2nd editions of the...
No idea what PCGS said, but I know what I'd say - Genuine - Altered Surfaces. Unless I miss my guess that coin was whizzed a looooong time ago....

Please don't try any of them, for your own sake. And if it is raised up as you say, odds are it is not PVC and so acetone will do no good...
I asked about mintage because of your original question about the dots being die markers. Now if I recall between you and another guy you have...
Lemme put it this way Tom, if it wasn't for state assistance, I couldn't afford the medicine that keeps me alive. Yeah, again. That happens to...
So do you know the mintage of this coin ?
My opinion has only been reinforced by the new pics.
Interesting concept Tom. Just for giggles, where do I fit in - in your opinion of course. OK, so who does this forum cater to ? Oh wait, you...
