Excellent post! Very interesting. I put together a 1963 proof set in a Capitol plastics holder a long time ago. Just thought it was neat being...
I’ll be interested to see what they come back as. I sent the best one in out of my set thinking it was MS and it came back whizzed. Almost...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I always hate getting these in change. You cash in change and they give them back to you. You can’t get rid of them. Well...
There’s already numerous long threads on this if you do a search.
Ok, long post, be warned! I can't speak for PCGS because I don't know either way but if you send a coin to NGC now, they do photograph both...
Nope! :D
Anybody feel like they're noticing inflation creeping into coin prices these days? I'm finding coins listed for 20% more to double price guide...

NGC registry is my display. Can look at high quality images on any computer any time I want. That’s enough for me. This plan sounds too...
Went to show with four specific coins in mind. I could have gotten one and maybe should have, but wasn't in love with coin vs price. Ended up...
I'm using my copy stand right now. I just looked at the bulbs and they say 5000k daylight for the color in the Peace dollar pic above. They're...
As others have stated this is where white balance comes into play. Most cameras have an auto or you can set it yourself by pushing the button and...
I use four lighthouse albums but only for my US Type. That gives me a potential 144 spots. For the type set I went in with a plan and it...
A loupe is just quicker. You only have two hands and lighting can vary. You won't have a photobox set up there to use the phone in. Extreme...
Holy over preparedness Batman! What else are you prepared for? Lol Good questions, extensive list. Leaning a liiiiittle OCD but that's...
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but as somebody that has played that game for the registry set I would have passed. There's a reason it's not...
