The pictures are at an odd angle and make it difficult to tell exactly to what you are referring. That said, it appears the left rim of the...
To me, toning, no matter how "pretty" (always an eye-of-the-beholder thing) is nothing but environmental damage and lowers its appeal (i.e....
I don't collect modern coins that are produced to be expensive "collectibles," including the Canadian gimmick coins, the American "instant...
All of you have this all wrong. The secret of the tremendous value is that these were once owned by George Washington himself and carried with...
Those slight marks are to be expected of a coin at this grade. Besides, no one would submit it to be graded. Even in PCGS graded XF-40 the PCGS...

This same principle applies to stores who offer "no interest for a year" deals. They just include the interest up front in the price, so you are...
If a store accepts a credit card but doesn't give a cash discount, you can be sure they are charging all the customers extra to pay the card fees....
Perhaps you are referring to the "doubling" look on the eyelid near the corner of the eye. I believe that is a post mint nick, similar to the one...
