Re: Spots and haze on gold eagles
I had my Reverse Proof Gold develop a haze on the devices after about 6 months. I sent it back to PCGS along with the mik spotted ASE's. To my surprise, it came back flawless. -
Israel Coins Back from NGC (PICS)
1948 MS-63 Grade (AWESOME EXTREMELY RARE IN MS) is a personal MILESTONE. The 1949 25 Mils MS-62 (GREAT) and the MS-66RB is very hard to find as well. See article below- LINK ISRAELS FIRST COIN BY DAVID T. ALEXANDER It would be easy to draw up a list of great world rarities - coins that would strain a king's treasury to… -
Re: College Football Question
Until another conference gets even close to the power in the SEC, the SEC should have an automatic spot in the BCS title game as long as they have a team with only one conference loss. If LSU still had Nick Satan, we would have numerous threads about whether or not LSU could win it again, for the 4th time in a row. Edit to… -
Re: I sure would like to see on YouTube...
<< <i> << <i>I would add that it's a bad idea to dip then rinse, then consider the job done. There is still dip on the coin, and since it's a corrosive acid, it will eventually eat at the coin and that will ruin the coin. After the dip, the instructor in the video should have washed the coin with a mild detergent soap (a… -
Re: Are approval buyers less serious than payment first buyers?
NO. I would say they are more serious because they have worked up a trust in the dealer to send them coins on approval in the first place.

Re: Paging Dr. Rimjob.
The only time I've heard that term before was from a gay friend in West Hollywood. The best coin doctors do even toning on the rims of Unc. CBHs, many of which are in first world TPG slabs. I can spot it a mile away, because I've seen so many of them. You have the center of a CBH that is as white as a Washington Quarter.… -
Re: A Question of toning...
<< <i>But, sadly, I can't spot AT coins anyway. >> Neither can i! That's why i posted this whole thread for. No one's actually come forward yet and explained why and where the AT shows best. All i've got so far is "i could tell it was AT a mile off cos it's ugly". Well sorry but i've seen supposed NT coins that i thought… -
Re: Thoughts about this Babe Ruth card
I actually cut this one out myself from a sheet. This is actually a rather difficult card, especially for a hundcut, because the red ink is very cheap and chips extremely easy. I managed to cut it out with very little evidence of any chipping, and PSA did a great job handling it to ensure it didn't chip because I was…
