That would be it - just about everything I've seen graded by the new ANACS is over-graded.

No, look at the pics in post 23. See how thew top of the hoof is irregular and dips down on the right side - not a straight line. If it is a...
But don't be confused by the above comment, what Bowers is saying is that those were released by banks in the normal sense - in ordinary...
But that is what the case hinges on, and what Bowers said in his depositions - there are no records. There was a period of, I think, 2 days or so,...
Fair enough, if you were talking about the old ANACS, I would agree. If you are talking about the new ANACS, I would disagree strongly. You...
Hmmmm - no answer ? Sure looked like an answer to me. Did you somehow miss this paragraph ? Double check the underlined part. And I wasn't...

You bet, don't use oil at all. Then you don't have to worry about getting it off.
That depends entirely on who it is that is looking at it. An experienced eye can almost always identify a re-colored coin.
Questionable color ? :eek: That's worse than misgrading the thing :rolleyes:
I would say it is entirely due to wear. If it had a weak strike then the rivets on the left side of the shield would not be there as they are.
