This one is confusing. The lightness of the coin combined with the darkness of recesses and hits convinces me that the coin has been cleaned with...
If they slabbed it they must have been in a forgiving mood that day. The coin has undergone an old cleaning, and then been been dipped more...
I certainly see what you do re: the rims rlm, and I agree they would be justified to bag it for that. But my guess is they bagged it for altered...
It appears to me that the coin was slightly mishandled in the past. I also suspect that it has been very lightly cleaned as there a few minor...
It would be the first time that I have ever seen "toning" completely wipe out design detail and make those areas of the coin flat - devoid of...
Did you miss the part where I said they did it - IN WRITING ? I have said all of this many times before, even quoted them directly. Guide to...
The price for what ?
I'd be happy to try and answer, but I need to know what the question is first. What price ?
It sure wouldn't be a good thing. As to grade - low XF. But even if genuine it probably wouldn't be slabbed due to the over-dipping.
You should hear an echo, I've said it enough times. :whistle:
Both of you can return to your caves now :D You know how rocks eventually turn into dirt due to errosion ? Well, what is forgotten is that most...
And let us also not forget that many coins have dropped in value by 50% in that same 12 month period.
Luster is easily destroyed by over-dipping a coin - and it leaves no marks or scratches. As for the slight rotation, it's not uncommon.
Not all dips are created equal, and neither are the people doing the dipping. Even the same person can have wildly different results with...
Understand what you are asking but the answer is to a degree, yes. However, there are some coins where the price listed in that guide is actually...
I too have my doubts about the coin. There are several depressions and some raised sopts, small design differences etc that make me wonder about...
The material in question was developed and extensively tested by Lucent Bell Labs almost 30 years ago. It was found to be 100% effective.
Well usually such posts are not permitted, but because it is my belief that you are more asking for help in finding a coin, as opposed to...
Yes, PCGS will even admit that they refused to grade many ASE's as 70's because they were afraid the coins would turn on the slab later on that...
Gonna getcha for that !! :D
