Here are a few more pictures, with the O under 5x + 10x magnification (50x net). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yeah, the obverse on these sometimes looks more like a washerwoman than my feminine ideal. [ATTACH]
Anyone have pieces from the Egyptian Gods series? These 2 troy oz .999 fine silver medals have some pretty high relief and are pretty pieces. Now...
Yeah, I'm trying to determine if that's a bagmark hit or something that happened to the die pre-strike (or both). This year has an O/S variety...
Any idea what's going on on the mintmark here? It almost disappears from certain angles. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It's amazing to see which elements were copied and how they changed over time. Kind of like seeing the art through a proto-British barbarian...
Waiting on a tax return & settlement check to splurge a bit...
How are they with error coins? Do they have an additional surcharge for checking for errors? And what's their turnaround time? I've only slabbed...
It was, in fact, an MS63. Solid grading, y'all.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. There's a lot about slabbing that you don't know if you don't ask - and there are certainly more...
At the time, what was the value of the 78 CC? Before the hoard was released, it may have been one of the more common CCMorgans on the market....
I'll see what I can do when I retrieve it from my safety deposit box. Not trying to be thick here, but you are aware that the forum downsized...
I ended up having to make a police report to get my money back. Local police are asking me to obtain the written opinion of a third party expert...
Quarter eagles from this era are tough to grade. But the source of the photos was a hint that this wasn't a common au58 grade.
Residue from 1961 era plastic, perhaps? I think I've seen similar on other proof sets from that era.
Digital photos tend to create noise that can be mistaken for polishing. But, the obverse certainly seems to have something going on. I'm leaning...
I'll have to go digging. But I think I have a German medal commemorating the year without a summer somewhere. Didn't this event also indirectly...
Bought this raw the other day and was wondering what grade to catalog it at. There's a scratch at about 7:00 on the obverse that probably knocks...
I'm going to go with 64 and was leaning towards maybe 65. Seems a bit self-congratulatory after the reveal, but that is where I was.
I'm not looking for confirmation of what I can see (or may be convincing myself I can see). As I posted in my last comment, I'm asking error...
