Question about silver stain
Are some silver stain on the surface of a silver coin considered a fault or
not ? Can silver stain downgrade an UNC coin to a lesser degree ? Thanks. -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

It would be the same grade but worth less because of the stain, it would
be "Unc with a stain". Billy gogu wrote: Are some silver stain on the surface of a silver coin considered a fault or not ? Can silver stain downgrade an UNC coin to a lesser degree ?

"Fifty to seventy-five percent, " sez the dealer when buying. "Oh, that's nothing, hardly noticeable, it won't hardly show at all once you've got in in your album, it's a good-looking piece" sez the dealer when selling. "Tell ya what, it's marked 81.50, you can have it for 81, how's that?" James 'sarcasm sometimes gets the best of even me' |

? "note.boy" ?????? ??? ??????
... It would be the same grade but worth less because of the stain, it would be "Unc with a stain". Billy I see, thank you Billy. So if it was a very beautiful and attractive UNC coin, would you buy it regardless the stain ? -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

(based on what a collector would think and not someone buying for investment or commerce). -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

But when I buy coins or anything else collectible, I always try to think first like a dealer and then, maybe even more important, like another collector. You should, too, unless you are just blind and unquestioning in your love of coins. We can all get that way from time to time (remember how it is/was with women!) but you have to ask yourself, "Is this item attractive in spite of its blemish? Will I or my heirs ever recoup anything more than a tiny fraction of what I paid in light of the blemish? If I don't buy this right now, will the guy standing behind me, breathing on my neck, snap it up as soon as I leave the dealer's table? Do I know enough about this to know whether or not there are other examples of this item for sale out there somewhere that are free of this blemish?" I'd want at least two "Yes" answers, preferably three, and ideally four before I'd recommend that you buy it.

So if it was a very beautiful and attractive UNC coin, would you buy it regardless the stain ? It it was a common coin I would wait for a stain free one to come along, if it's a rare coin and the stain meant a large price reduction they I may be tempted.

Very true :-) And the proof of that is that I just bought that coin (no big bucks, under $50 anyway). As soon as I have it in my hands I'll put a picture on abpn and I'd like to have your opinion. -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!
