In simpler terms I mean I don't think the coin is worthy of an MS65 or higher grade. And as I said, because of the flatness of the rim at 3...
The idea is correct, but there are guarantees. At least for NGC and PCGS. For if a coin turns in the slab and would grade lower as result of that...
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It really depends on how the toning affects the eye appeal. It's possible it could even go up. Again, it can go...
It's a Rixdaler, 1583 struck at the Deventer mint with a mintage of 68,189; Delmonte #680 classified as an R coin which means it is not common but...

There is a bit more to it than that. For example, would you call dipping a coin cleaning ? I would. I have seen more coins than you can count that...
It is important to understand that when the term "thumb" is used in context with regard to coins what is meant is this - you rub your thumb back...

There is a great deal more to proper storage than just the holder or slab the coin is stored in. No slab is airtight, nor is any coin holder you...
Use a cigar box or coin envelope.
How about the coin is an out and out fake - there is no room for doubt. It is not gold, but does appear to have been gold plated in order to pass...

You are allowed attachments. Only thing I can think of is that you might need to change your preferences in User CP.
A full gram less, even in G4, would make me very suspicious.
Entirely different coin than this. This one is dated 1583 and has totally different legends. I cannot identify off hand, but I will see if I can...
