I guess that would depend on how you wish to define a problem. Yes, PVC can be removed and if it has not eaten into the surface of the coin the...
Matt - it appears to be kind of weakly struck for a '79-S. Is that just the pics or not ?
Coin appears to have been harshly cleaned and to have dip residue. I can see nothing right off that would make me think it fake, but value in that...
Howdy crcanizz - Welcome to the Forum !! If you read this thread - Click Here - it will tell what you have.
It's the modern age, that might be weed killer or fertilizer :D
In the '50s Mint Sets shades of blue are far and away the most common. Shades of yellow would be next and reds the least common. But there are...

SLC typically has 4 shows per year with around 50 dealers. Will say though, you will see the same guys you see at other shows. There are a few...
Precisely, the mint even said they were deciding how to deal with this problem when they announced the new pricing policy. This is how they...
