Yes, it does, because die polish lines are never, ever, found on the devices. Sorry Greg, but that Peace has been harshly cleaned. Don't have...
It works best on PVC residue. And it will remove light oil residue from your fingers & hands. But that's about it really.
I agree. But that C and the ED also have a relationship to each other when they are in the normal position. But if you look at them that same...
Leniency regarding grade because of date/mint is one thing. But leniency for a special designation with stated criteria - that's something else...
Not true at all John. Acetone will have little to no effect on dirt. If you want to remove dirt, plain old distilled water is your best bet.
Of course. Dipping removes a microscopic layer of metal from the coin. And since dirt is on top of the metal, if any metal is removed then the...
Let me ask you a question, how do you define "market grading" ? There are a lot of people, and I mean a lot, who are very knowledgeable and...
Two reasons - 1 because they think it makes the coin look better. 2 because it often can greatly increase the value. I've seen dipped coins...
No doubt. But when people who were actually doing the grading for the TPGs write it about it having happened, and when you see it with your own...

First of all it's not a conspiracy at all, never has been. Instead it was/is an intentional changing of their grading standards. And yeah, I know...
i don't have any explanations. But the coin, assuming it is genuine and not a manufactured error or fake, would have to have been struck multiple...
Actually yes, there is a very easy way to know if a coin has been dipped, at least with most of them. The key word in that statement is know,...
Yeah, sometimes it is. But there are examples where a known and declared counterfeit will sell for more than a genuine example of the same coin....
Just to be clear, I don't believe for one second that they are making mistakes at all. I am 100% convinced, as are many others including former...
Don't buy it.
gf - Common date Saints in grades up to and including slabbed MS63's are going to sell for a small percentage over the current spot price. It...
Better ? No. Different ? Yes, with a couple of minor changes. Get the 6th edition.
And it's pretty much been that way since the '60s.
