@Jeepfreak81 When you poke at the white substance, does it sort of just flake away? Or is it solid and firm.
Very nice coin! O-103 is one of my favorites just because of how impressive the clash usually is. Definitely one of the latest die state examples...
Looks like it was struck with a grease filled die.
It might be the remnants of Deller's Darkener. It's a chemical that was used to recolor cleaned copper coins to a "natural" look. Often after a...
The surfaces are definitely altered in some way, likely cleaning as @jeffB stated. This was done awhile ago and now has started to retone around...
Sounds like you had fun! I haven't attended in a few years because its more than a 14 hour drive away. :sorry: What was your favorite purchase?

Looks like O-104. To me the coin looks weakly struck and appears to have retained some luster. Love the color. I might be WAY off but I would put...
When you're done please post the results! :)
Cleaned coins are often easy to detect, but the thing that trips up even some of the most experienced collectors and dealers are the recolored...

On eBay that coin is premium "error" material, worth considerably more than 100k. :smuggrin:
Its just a very well struck dime. This would be classified as FSB or Full Split Bands, that means that the parallel bands are fully struck and...
Entry Post For that 1859 seated quarter. I can feel it calling my name. :woot:
Your right, it is a King Henry V. The quatrefoil in the middle of the reverse indicates that it was produced in the York mint. One of the...
Ahh, I figured it out. The "W" stands for white. This was only done on an early generation of NGC holder if the coin was more than 95% white. [ATTACH]
A 1931-s would be very nice indeed, but a 1931-d is still a very nice find. Keep up the good work!
Could I see a picture of the reverse? I think I can help you out.
I am not understanding your question very well. Could you perhaps rephrase it? A picture would also be helpful.
