IMHO - Now coin collecting has hit a new low and has ‘Jumped the Shark.’
So these were pretty much the responses I was expecting. With a few exceptions, most collectors won’t touch them. I like the acetone approach....
Green18 - In some of your photos you managed to make an ugly coin look half way decent - great job!. Yes - the large stars make no sense what so...
I just got ANOTHER email about colorized coins. I debated including the link because I didn't want to get this anymore exposure. But then I...
Thanks, I'm just a born skeptic. I question everything. Even myself at times.
OK - This is a bit strange. Now I'm on yet a third computer and the number looks like a 3. I guess that's why different people are saying they are...
Wow. I looked at the picture on a different computer and now I clearly see a 5. It looks like a smashed 5, but definitely a 5.
1947 - look closely and you can clearly see the top of the '7'

I wasn't planning on sending anything in. I have it and a couple of other coins that I was thinking about submitting to them at an onsite grading...
Thanks - that would be perfect for me. BUT - I don't have that kind of money to spend right now. I bought all my gold for my 20th Century set...
Less work to just dip it for a VERY long time.
I wasn't expecting a straight across trade, just getting more than 90 percent of spot. When someone wants to give me 90 percent of spot on a...
"What's the best way to make this coin more attractive?" I didn't vote because the options are very vague. I'd ask: Leave in current state...
I really appreciate all the input and views from everyone. It is very helpful. To mix things up a bit a coin show I'm going to this weekend will...
This is along the lines I was thinking. That in a trade I would get darn close to melt and then $100 to $150 cash to cover the cost of the...
I wanted a PCGS $20 peice for my set. I'm putting together a 20th Century Set in all PCGS slabbed coins. What a number of people said that was...
