Doing the same thing...somewhat. I'm getting ready to crack out an XF details Trade dollar because I didn't trust myself enough to find a raw one...
I hope the Peace dollars are high relief. I think, if done right, they would look gorgeous.
Not a coin, but a rare Perkins token from 1860s New Zealand: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
AU53. Very nice coin!
I meant to use mine on a slabbed Trade Dollar for my type coin set, but completely forgot until after the transaction lol. Looking for a nice...
I really don't need the check, but it's not like I'm going to turn it down. I've paid well more than $2000 (or $600 for that matter) in federal...
MS65 FB, could be a 66 but's already an extremely tough date in Gem with full bell lines. It also looks like there's a very light hit beneath E...
MS66 Red. I'm assuming the scratch between the wheat stalks is on the holder. If the mark to the right of the T is all that is wrong with it, I...
I pulled a large lot of Buffalo Nickels off Ebay and they arrived yesterday. At first glance, I thought this low grade 1923-S was damaged, but...

Dipping the entire coin too long will kill the luster on the obverse, while it might not be enough to get rid of the tarnish on the reverse. If...
I try to remind myself that we are grading based on pictures, vs NGC who actually got to examine the coin in hand. This quarter would probably...
What are your own thoughts on it @Lehigh96 ?
These "crusty" Washingtons (along with the Franklins) from the late 40s/50s are tough for me. I also know they can be difficult to photograph. It...
I do like the luster and strike on #1, but #2's strike isn't that far off (from the pictures anyway) and has less noticeable contacts. Plus, that...
Needs more mintmarks
In the same lot as that 1864 RPD...1865 RPD VP-006 I believe [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
MS66. Don't know too much about Jeffersons but that's a nice piece. @Lehigh96 , Is that your photography?
Gotta love accidental cherrypicks...RPD FS-1304 [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
