yes it is true, blue indians
I am right there with you man. All my coins are rainbow toned and they are all graded by either PCGS or NGC. I have just 2 ANACS coins. All of...
I think it would be so cool to have a PR70 coin with a gold CAC sticker. It would be like extra credit in school. BTW--that was a joke!
Actually, I don't think it is apparent at all on the SLQ. The photos are too far away to show the whizzing. If the coin is whizzed, then the...
From PCGS's OFFICIAL GUIDE TO COIN GRADING AND COUNTERFEIT DETECTION, whizzing is defined as: "the process of mechanically moving the metal of a...
Oh no, that strike is a shame. From the obverse, I was thinking you had at least an MS66 and was envisioning it in an NGC holder (and in my...
Thank you! It is a very nice coin but I am very suspicious of all of these types of proofs. It wouldn't surprise me if this coin is AT. I...
Here it is! [IMG][IMG] As stunning as the obverse of this coin is, the reverse is supercool. Three different shades of green at the center, a...
Where in the heck can you buy a coin press? How much do they cost? And can they really crank out over 15 coins per second. I can see the...
Nickelman, That 1944-S is very pretty, please show us the reverse. I also really like the 1952 and the 1950. Beautiful coins. Just so you...
So if it cost the guy 1 cent to make the Jefferson nickels, he would have to make 1000 every day just to earn $40. Sounds like getting a job...
Until you have extensive experience with rainbow toned coins, don't buy raw coins. It is difficult enough to try and weed out the slabbed AT...
That is correct sir.
You have pretty much got it. The toning premium does drop after the green stage because the coin becomes dark and impacts the overall luster of...
FYI, asking for information about how to AT a coin is a very taboo subject. Collectors will brand you as a coin doctor, and the coin doctors...
This is a rather difficult question to answer. On a rainbow toned coin, a band of green is rather common. However, a mono chromatically green...
You are of course not referring to the most common reason for counterfeiting a Jefferson Nickel, rather a rare coin, right.
Like I said, Training
OK, this is a really obvious question but. WHY?
I would be perfectly happy to assume that role for anyone on the forum unless they were looking for a rainbow toned Jefferson at which point they...
