Re: PCGS Restoration Candidate? 1890-cc Morgan
We can tell you that, the restoration is a consultation service first, they determine if it can be conserved so this question cannot be answered here. It takes lots of education, experience and seeing a coin in hand for conservation.

Re: Hello hoping for some feedback on an early IHC
I just talked with my friend Greg, he was a dealer I befriended at the shows, but he is now a coin grader for NGC. Here is what he said. So please drop the fake news references. It’s ironic he mentioned 30 seconds, maybe more, but still, this is being said all across the industry. I know a lot of co...

Re: wrong planchet
When someone states they don’t trust their dealers but don’t know the coin minting process nor what a proof is, then I decline to help. The dealers are telling you the truth, but for that you mistrust them or you assume they can’t be trusted. No cool. Just ask about your coins. Thanks

Re: Restoration or touch up copper 1909-19823 cents before grading...
You can't restore copper cents, if you do then they will be considered damaged or questionable and will not grade straight. Acetone will not hurt, but acetone only removes PVC residue, tape or glue.

Re: 2001 D Roosevelt dime
Coins tone and wear differently and can tone in several different hues and colors, nothing about this coin leads me to think it's special in any way. The surface was more than likely messed with or was exposed to something to cause this.

No it does not but no one can tell you insider PCGS secrets unless they work there, I don't care if one has sent a million coins to PCGS for grading, you still would be guessing unless you worked for PCGS.

You can't melt them and if you've already searched them for varieties and know what you're looking for, then there would be no reason to keep them.

Re: Need Opinion: Cleaned or Altered? 1932 Washington 25c
I agree, potentially cleaned. However if you’re just wanting it in a holder then it shouldn’t make a difference. The coin, cleaned or not, isn’t going to be worth the grading fees. I recommend using the grading companies price guide to make this decision.

It does look like a scratch but even a strike though like this wouldn’t add value. You want a strike through to look like an identifiable object.
