Yes it will. Go into EDIT mode, select CIRCULAR CROP, pull the handles to outline your coin, select SOLID COLOR (it appears white on the screen)...
I was there from 10 to 1. More empty tables than I recall from previous episodes of this show. Pretty steady traffic but not crowded. Bought a...
Photoscape lets you pick your backgrond color within the crop function. If you've already cropped a photo, you can just do it again with the same...
I'll be there Thursday.
It was! I don't remember the exact grade but it was probably 58. But it was really PQ. Looking back on it I don't know why it wasn't a slider...
I'll be there all three days. Probably going to attend the LSCC dinner Thursday night. Will also be spending time attending the Central Florida...
Clearly the wrong dealer if he didn't know if he had a $10k to $20k coin in his inventory. I saw an extremely nice AU 39 ND half a couple of FUN...

I went through Kamal Ahwash's book for the 1860 and he makes no references to clash marks for the 1860 Philadelphia issues. But his book was the...
There are many, many examples of new die marriages that have been verified with only one example ever surfacing. Now, getting PCGS et al to...
That is pretty much exactly what I do. The Dealer/Table map that FUN hands out free (also available ahead of time from the website) is very...
