Damage for exactly the same reason. If it was a planchet error that was there before striking - how would the detail of the eagle's wing be there...
The FUN show is often the gauge used to mark the turn in the coin market. But the turn occurred 2 months ago - it's just that nobody wanted to...
Well, that's why I asked. That may be the method they use, but it doesn't mean that is the method used by those who make the blanks for US coinage.
Did any of you actually read what I said ? I said XF45 would be the technical grade. And I made that comment because of what Jack said. In the...
The vast majority of them are toned that way long before they are ever slabbed.
Are you asking for opinions on the possible numismatic value increase or - just the possible increase in the spot price of gold ? If the...

Dipped - definitely. Harshly cleaned - no. That coin just received some very rough handling at the time it was new. And it appears that it was put...
spock considers what NCS does - as cleaning. He wasn't saying that you did it - merely that it was done.
Out of 550 products that the mint offered last year - 350 of them will no longer be offered. Can't swear to it, but I think the W mint products...
You can confuse people with comments like that. Using the technical grading system that coin would grade no better than XF45. The grade AU58...
Also possible it could have been struck on a foriegn coin planchet.
Good thing that's what you want, because that was your first guess too. No, once you post your guess that's it. There will be no changes.
Don't be surprised - it is commonplace.
NGC does not do conservation. I can only assume that because of the dark toning he wanted to see if the coin could be conserved and possibly grade...
AU55 would be my opinion. Wear on obv and rev.
Separate names with a comma.
