What was your grade Mike? You have to remember that grading is not independent of age, you have to grade an old coin the same as a modern....
I’d expect a touch more luster of a 67, so I went 66FS, but the very upper end of 66 I’d say. Beautiful piece.
I’ll post some different images this weekend when my new lights get in. I don’t expect that anyone will change their minds, but at least you’ll...
This is the lighting that is built into my macro lens and it is diffused. This is pretty accurate to the appearance though. There’s not much...
Don’t I know it, looking forward to being ripped up by the old school guys.
CAC adds value in the market, that is just plain undeniable. Though I feel that it is unnecessary for the those that have known how to grade for...

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’m still lurking around here and am still heavily involved in the hobby. I’ve been working on...
I like the purple and blue cents, I have a few braided hair cents with this look. It wasn’t completely unusual for coins to be stored in tissue...

I’m a little slow. I went to PCGS to see if there was a Trueview available of your avatar and was confused when it said AG-03. I didn’t even look...
It would depend on the grade, if there is a cameo or deep cameo look, if it’s toned, is it aesthetically pleasing toning, has it been certified,...
At first glance, the toning looks artificial to me. What was it stored in? Certain old papers could possibly create this type of toning, but I’m...
You win the right to tell your significant others about your great numismatic skills and wait for them to roll their eyes back at you.
We all believe you Bill ;)
I can’t seem to find any images that I could offer a better grade. But apparently this coin was graded by PCGS as AU-55 (or it could be a grade...
I think the darker patina of what looks like a bearded Liberty and my poor photography skills are throwing some of you off. I think it’s a 64 as...
