I use an SDB since my collection is worth greater than 10k. I would need one anyway for important papers, just got a bigger one to hold the...
that is an amazing original piece, probably for a mother memorializing her child. At that time infant death from infections was extremely high. I...
that's a pretty nice example, doesn't look like it has the corrosion or porosity seen on many (including mine which is badly in need of an upgrade).
The seated liberty series is vast, I just buy one when I like the look .NIce coins, I really like the 1858 quar. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's a genuine trade dollar, period. Handle it any way you like, it won't hurt it. A nice family keepsake to pass down to the next generation....
65 (at least!).
pretty rev, wonder how it toned like that? I'll guess 63.
That's a very cool double struck coin!
I have a hard time forming an opinion about the coin because the photos are small and I don't think the lighting is too good. Larger photos that...
If it is a new purchase, I would give it an acetone soak for a couple of hours to remove pvc or other organic stuff. Otherwise enjoy as is. I...
Looks like a natural color progression to me, NT.
I think that quarter qualified as an "AU 64." Nice!
No, I haven't done the attribution. Don't own a reference. I'm surprised that some eagle-eye at ANACS spotted the marks on the rev. These days...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] It's in an ANACS OWH. There is some micro-graffiti between the eagle's wing and AME on the rev. I don't think it detracts too...
Really nice coins, Eduard. I love that sort of violet-gray tone on old original silver. And an 1804! Tough coin. I have just one, an 1806, I...
personally I don't think the TPG's pay a whole lot of attention to strike until MS grades. On a circ coin, I think they just look at the amount...
64 PL?
Great looking IHC! I think the key was eating the hot dog while making the purchase decision; essential brain food at any coin show. And...
Looks pretty questionable to me too; that violet mixed in with the gold /blue is not logical, and if it were album toned, why the strange shape to...
I really enjoy looking at your gold!
