Re: If Charmy would be as kind to...........
<< <i>I dont know what you are seeing, but coin has only honest to goodess crust. No PVC at all. I wish I could find all the pre 34 set this nice. In fact, the coin is nicer in hand. The milky spot on the obverse is in the plastic, not on coin at all. >> I am not trying to pick on you or your coin From what I am seeing it… -
Re: Do you agree with David Lange’s theory on hard/soft planchets, and the effect on toning?
After annealing (softening by heat treatment) planchets were cleaned and dried, then delivered to the press room for coining.

Re: new to collecting and need some advise on silver eagles
I started with the SAEs - Like Bigern said if you'd like a high grade set buy them from your dealer. These are especially prone to "milk spots" created at the mint, are part of the coin and are not removable. Some will also be dinged from handling. If you ever dropped one of these heavy suckers onto another SAE it will… -

Re: PCGS Grading options/services
<< <i>This would be a separate service and collectors could still opt for the current service I see this service as having a different slab insert color and would be noted as such so this service would be easily distinguished from the guarantee service Instead of waiting, I will just make my comments now: There are just… -

Re: Teletrade - Raw Coins
<< <i>I have used the raw program extensively over many years. Works great for me. If you have a bunch of coins you are looking to flip, that would benefit from certification, and you don't want to tie up money in upfront grading fees, it is a GREAT route! One of the few true bargains out there. As far as lousy pix on… -
