Not to mention the subjectivity of the person grading the coin.
To me they are like art. Some appeal to no one, some appeal to most, and some appeal to everyone. But how much they are worth is in the eye of...
All true, but my point was someone intentionally elevating a coin from circulated to uncirculated. I have seen them in AU58 or MS60 holders that...

[ATTACH] This is an MS64 PCGS and I think under-graded based in the number of reverse stars that are visible and the lack of bag marks. Also the...
[ATTACH] Just picked this one up and has a little tone to it. The Stone Mountain series is often discolored more than toned, so this one is nice....
I think back then platinum was a component in catalytic converters, so there was an industrial use. Somewhere I read that platinum had been...
This one is interesting because I don't know if it would pass the smell test. Bright rainbow toning that has the same intensity on both sides...
