Well, there are those who have said I'm not :D
Surprisingly enough there are many dealers who do not belong to the ANA because thay have refused to abide by the ethics code in the past. No idea...
I wasn't trying to knock your coin - I was trying to prevent you from doing something that would probably end up being a mistake.
It looks similar to mine yes. They are all unique Ruben - no 2 are alike.
Howdy Jon - Welcome to the Forum !! Josee only posted that once and hasn't returned in over 4 months. But if you wish to search for info - I...
That is your opinion and that's fine. But the standards say otherwise. Ruben a half dollar is 30mm in diameter. Now when I put my thumb on a...
And they didn't. The cleaning used and the burnishing are 2 different things. And I agree with Conder, the unburnished examples probably do look...
Sunlight itself is fine. The point is that you do not want to mix light sources. You only want to use 1 light source. And I don't mean the number...
Even the ANA standards permit fingerprints up to and including 64. TPG standards permit them in higher grades as well. Get a half dollar and...
They probably don't come in cool white. Most bulbs manufactured for use in the home are made with what they call warm white. It is easier on the...
The 126 coins in question were Goodacre coins.
That is a fingerprint. Yes that color toning is quite normal. Especially for coins from this time period. Coins from the '30s and '40s often...
I pretty much agree about the RED. It just isn't.
The toning is quite normal Ruben, not unsual at all. Not sure what you mean by waving pattern on the obv or rev.
They are errors in a way Ruben. Somehow they missed the burnishing process. Probably the planchets got stuck in the hopper and just bypassed it....
I would think it would be obvious. First of all the coin has subdued luster. Black gunk like that doesn't just appear on a coin - it takes time....
It's not that they were supposed to be melted, it's that they were supposedly melted. Big difference in the two words.
I wish I knew when this coin was slabbed because 5 or 6 years ago NGC would have given it a 64 without question, but no higher than that. But...
Personally, I think the coin got the bump for the color. Too many hits to make 67, but they are well hidden by the toning. Hits on the forehead,...
I suspect that coin has already been through NCS. I would not do it again.
