No it's not, it's the principle I'm talking about, and it's exactly the same in both situations. The TV buyers do not know what they are doing,...
Oh I know that's what they say, and yeah, they always used to be struck at least twice. But given the quality of regular Proofs over the last 10...
There's many different companies who make and sell slabs, not just the TPGs. Some are made of the same materials as the ones the TPGs use and some...
Perhaps it's a bit nit picky but that's way beyond haze ! And to be honest I doubt MS70 would do much good as the toning is way too advanced, but...
It's definitely been harshly cleaned, and definitely not whizzed. (Whizzing has a very distinctive look and that aint it.) As for the pitting, not...
Some slabs are acrylic, just depends who makes them.
Makes sense it would be. But seems to me I've read about the type of plastic it is and the company/ies that makes the slabs for them. But I can't...
Toning and luster are very closely tied to each other, the one depends upon the other to a large degree. So as a general rule, if a coin has low...
I can see where that could be used as an indicator but I've seen quite a few examples where there were variations in the same letters on the same...
I'm inclined to agree. Though there are examples of older Proofs where it is said they were struck 4, even 5 times. And no, don't ask me to list...

If anyone can offer up anything, and once some time has passed to allow them to do so, I'll explain how I found out it was a counterfeit.
I wish you could post it here. Unfortunately because of copyright law you cannot, unless you get written permission from him to do so.
That's all I got pal, and I had to dig into files 15 years old just to find those.
No I'm not saying that value is fixed, but it is a given number range at any given point in time. But it also changes with time. This is the...
Well, taste is something that is just personal to the individual, so if that's what ya like then that's what ya like. As I've always said it's a...
Not even close ! Bidding fever has been known to strike even those who are supposed to know what they are doing. And then there are always a few...
OK, ah reckon I may as well add one here. It is the one and only counterfeit coin I ever bought ! So how and why could I buy a counterfeit ? The...
Sorry but no. It's right where it should be. And yeah I understand your point but that doesn't change anything because only a few of the 8 types...
Separate names with a comma.
