It might get a 30 or 35 from a TPG, but I seriously doubt it would get anything higher than that. Better pictures would help us be more definitive.
I'm at 65 FB.
64. Would be 65 but for the hit on the breast.
66. Beautiful.
Very interesting thread. I have never seen a 35-S that weakly struck. If it was a 26-D, for example, I would not have been so surprised.
PF-64. Close to a CAM, but not quite enough contrast on the reverse.
I'm at 64, due to the typical strike and the cuts in the reverse field at 1:00. I do like the toning, though.
I sell on eBay and also do shows (or at least I did shows before Covid). A couple times a year I've gotten an order from my eBay store. And I've...

The sticky green stuff dissolves easily, and is readily removed. Acetone, with a very gentle rub with a Q-tip (best to use the ones with the...

Not genuine. There a lot of copies out there that have these dark, granular surfaces.
I dunno. I'll cast a dissenting vote. Toning like that on a well-circulated nickel coin does not occur naturally, from what I've seen. It may...
You sure it's not due to those Tuesday lunchtime beers at you-know-where?:shame::shame:
Another example of why I always say...knowledge is king.
How could that have been in the "cull" tray? I'd love to see what was in the "nice stuff" tray...
Separate names with a comma.
