Update: The New Normal? With silver prices still in the doldrums (at least relative to last year), I've been going around to the coin shops in...
I'll be slightly contrarian here - while I agree it has the appearance of having been cleaned, on the other hand, in terms of wear, I'd say it...
Just to clarify, I'm presuming you're saying you resell it at the same price as an equivalent unslabbed coin (as opposed to breaking it out of...
There's one other aspect to this topic I didn't specifically address in my original post - how much of a premium is (or ought to be) associated...
