I saved it - thanks ;)
Of course it's possible. Die deterioration is a well known cause of what looks like doubling. Then there is mechanical doubling and of course a...
He means it's well struck.
On that one I would agree. It's an excellent pic by the way, worthy of use for teaching. The way the luster is broken on the high points of the...

Your opinion is valid, the Reiver collection is proof. But there are very few cases like that, for as you know, in most cases the graders have no...

So start another thread and post all of them. Or at least find a link to the one you mention.
But all of the coins he used in this thread have mirror surfaces - so I'm confused. Personally, I prefer method 2. It tends to not only show...
No, but just about all of them do contain thiurea which is what really does the work.
Not necessarily but maybe. It would depend on how good you are grading. Been discussed 1000 times - there are more than few who think that...
NGC would be my first choice because they have greater consistency and are more accurate than PCGS IMO. PCGS is second of course - there would be...
