Just leave them as is. One is as good as the other.
Absolutely yes ! Luster is often subdued by toning. Also, not all coins of higher grades - 65 to 67 say - have full luster. The vast majority of...
Quite true. However, precisely because of this does it not make sense to you, at least some of you hopefully, that examples that actually have...
When you speak of projected low mintages you have to refer the law that authorized the coin. It is the law that sets the maximum mintage. But...
Yes. And then they are also polished with the same method when they get bad clash marks, or when they get excessive flow lines. That is the...
Go and read what is said in that thread. A die gouge and die file marks are completely different things from die polish lines. As I have...
Those are flow lines, completely normal. Honestly - 64 is more like it.
But they did not put PL on the holder so they did not think the coin was Proof Like. The PL description is merely the seller's opinion.
Small problem - you cannot have die polish lines on the devices. Die polish lines can only be in the fields. The lines on that coin's devices...
Sorry, but I don't see any way it could be an insult to ask if you could the hits or not, and then comment that if you could see them, then by...

You can't see those 2 hits across the lines on the left side ? If you acknowledge that those hits are there then the coin cannot be FBL by...
It has long been my contention that within the past few years (about 4 now) that the TPGs greatly lossened their grading standards.
They're not just on the reverse, nor are they on the slab. The marks correspond exactly obv/rev and usually only happen one way - from the coin...
MS - the SP coins started out getting high numbers right from the get go. I guess I shouldn't be surprised really. It follows right along with...
There is another, even bigger one than what PBG does. Numismatic Crimes.org And it is open to anyone !
No chance that one would make FBL. PCGS - the bottom set of bell lines must be full, clear and distinct with no breaks in the lines. NGC -...
You paid almost $7 for it, so it's not completely devalued. But I doubt you could ever get more than that for it.
You must know of different dealers than I do because none that I know of do.
What amazes me is how those 68 & 69 numbers have climbed. Just a few years ago those numbers didn't exist. I mean they were 0's for the most part.
