Tim, as has been said in the past, the thread is not owned/controlled by the original poster. Forums are dynamic systems, and sometimes they veer...
Possibly would have been more believable if you "placed" the sticker onto the label area, rather than the black empty area. ;) It doesn't seem...
The oxidation isn't too surprising if the coin went from a dry climate to a wet one. I received some blue steelies that would have been MS64 or...
I would assume that part of it has to do with supply/demand. CAC supplies a service in high demand. If they extended the service to modern coins...
I found ten that seem they would have similar degrees of nice toning when photographed appropriately: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190864225421...

I can't tell because the close up shots are blurry, but I would guess that there are some parts on the coin where one of the following is showing...
Yes, I'm offering melt. Why? Because I assume no one is selling at melt anyway.
Now now, Books. Tim's definition of quality might differ from yours. Remember, quality is a subjective term. I don't know what the plastic...
You stated in another thread that your monthly expenses are $250, and you think $140 to spend on grading fees ($25+$10, per your own words above,...
In the case of zinc, though, it might be the only way to preserve it...
Probably... That's an occupation coin, right? I suppose that, so long as it's not the "A" version, it would be rare enough to requisite...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/390650753440 The nick on the rim is clearly shown in the listing. Second photo, in case you never bother to look at the...
Obviously, this is cheating, but I was merely testing how the lighting/aperture would work.[ATTACH]
This coin may well be the polar opposite of photogenic. On the left is a picture taken straight on. On the right, is a picture taken with the coin...
I'm wondering if the color shift is from the base yellowing or from the process by which Polaroid film works. It's possible that the blue dyes...
I'm thinking this is a large-S, but I'm questioning it simply because there were so many different mint marks in 1941. [ATTACH]
BTW, apologies in advance for veering off topic... How is that polaroid so detailed?
Probably, but that also has to do with the forum belief that its members should usually be the "good guy" in most transactions.
Yes, it's a reach, but you never know! ;)
