Just be prepared when most of the coins end up being toned in a way that you don't like.
Go sit down first Frank, wouldn't want you to bump your head when you fall over. I agree ! :D
Could be, but that would not explain the lighter area directly above it. Unless of course the rubber band was holding something wrapped around the...
No I am not being ironic or facetious at all.
Steve - Those are just as bad if not worse than plain paper envelopes. The cotton liners will hairline the coins. Now this may be less of a...
Is it a problem coin ? Yes, it is. The coin has quite a few scratches on it. As for the toning pattern, my guess is something laid across that...
It doesn't work that way, in fact it works exactly the opposite way. Yes the paper will absorb some of whatever moisture is there, but it will...
The only difference there is between natural toning and artificial toning is intent. Circulated coins, while they will tone to a limited degree,...
I received an email from a fellow WINS (World Internet Numismatic Society) member this morning that was truly a joy to receive. It contained the...
The thing you have to realize is that very, very, few coins are submitted under the Secure Plus grading tier. And only the coins that are...
trey - Why didn't you ask him what he was going to charge you before you ever had him send the coins in for you ? That would have avoided the...
There is no need for shills to undo or cancel their bids. If no sniper comes along and beats them they just re-list the item.
You didn't quite make it out in time Frank :fish:
It won't work on just anything, but it should work on anything like that. Not knowing exactly what it is is why I suggested xylene. Acetone will...
Pretty sure that's where something on the coin was removed.
Personally I've always hated the sniping programs, for several reasons. But then I can remember when they didn't exist, if it was up to me I'd...
May be the pics but luster seems a bit subdued and it looks like it might have light wear. Think I'd have go with 58 based on what I can see.
I'd probably say 64. Too many frost breaks for 65 IMO, but too few hits for 63.
Maybe so Chris, but read post #2 in this thread. Do you think he's the only one who feels that way ? Many collectors already think or feel that...
trey - You say you feel like you were ripped off by the dealer because he made a $100 for doing his part. Did you think he was going to do it...
Separate names with a comma.
