Yes indeed. I think I will get it graded by PCGS at Baltimore along with a couple others and get their photos. I tried again this AM and no better...
I really hate that I can't seem to take good pictures with my iPhone 11S. Many on these boards take lovely pictures and I just can't manage. I...
Good information. Now I wonder what the outer layers composition is?
I have often wondered about how this coin was made. The Brits used to blanche (acid bath) the 0.500 planchets for the debased silver coinage...

Very nice coins. As young Rob has said, I keep most all of my better coins in a SB. One thing I noticed is that over the years I try NOT to buy at...
Yes. Ms. Norweb got first choice at all the London shops and sales! Yikes, I can only imagine that and at prices she likely paid. I was able to...
Well, I agree that the date is off and the details do not fit... Buy that one at your own risk.
Yes. Well they gave it “MS 55”. The coin simply does not have wear and is matte proof in presentation - not even satin but matte. Don’t know what...
