I agree completely. I just refer to it as rough handling. Should have added that to my response and didn't. So am glad you did.
No, this is not correct. The date of the coin had nothing to do with it. This is only partially correct. As I said before, ANACS and PCGS...
Well, think of the date that is on it. Back then, and well into the 20th century, cleaning your coins was the accepted practice. So if a coin...
As I said, for the past 6 months I'd probably go along. But what about a year ago, 2 years ago ? Would you say the same thing ?
I think his question was more asking - is it proper etiquette Eduard.
Mark I might go along with you, at least for the past 6 months because of CAC and the market drop. But there is one thing. Other than the past 6...
cupcake - let me relate something to you and then you can think of it what you will. First of all, I am not an expert. And among all of the...

Granted, these pics do not enlarge. But then I have no idea what size the pic was when the OP uploaded it. Perhaps that is as large as it ever...
Thank you gentlemen :thumb:
Assuming it's genuine and not harshly cleaned - yeah.
Well apparently you think it is OK to copy and distribute for free what someone else worked hard on and sells to make their living. I don't think...
I'm not sure where you got that from so I am not going to edit it myself. But I am going to ask you to edit it and supply a link to the article so...
My son still collects, and he has a few from my collection. I still go to coin shows when I can, but no where near as often as I used to. And...
I know of only a tiny handful who have ever noticed all the changes to the Kennedy half over the years. I know of 11 design changes and that only...
Unfortunately, while that might be proof enough for the person doing the test - nobody else will accept it.
