I voted 55 in the poll because of the wear. I'll bet it has some nice luster to it. Could easily go 58 depending on the day but I can't see a MS...
Newest Type Set Addition. Extremely happy with this coin. My photos completely fail to capture the steely luster of this coin. [ATTACH]
Newest IHC, upgrade from a G-04. [ATTACH]
65, not FS
Randy, I don't know how you can reconcile your desire for a price point that corresponds to EF-40 or 45, a white coin, and the TPG guarantee of a...
I prefer the un-holed version. I like my donuts with holes, my coins without. But why not keep both? Put one in a flip and tape it into the...
What I gave you above is the Obverse and Reverse dies from Cohen and Demling. When I checked my Eckberg book I got a different set of die...
Exactly why I was hesitant to get too specific with a net grade. There just too many unknowns that the current photos don't even get close to...
If it were my coin, I would suspend it in my ultrasonic cleaner in water with detergent and give it a go. I have made soft collars (EPDM and...
If you're interested, that is the C-6 die marriage, consisting of Obverse 5 and Reverse E. It is R-1, one of the more common die marriages with...
These were all found in the "bargain bin" at my LCS for $5 to $15. Bought them just because I love early copper. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
They gave it the FH, erroneously, because the earhole is evident. I see a lot of SLQs with iffy FH designations but this is probably the most...
The cardboard rolls left over from your TP. Cut to length and free. Same for the rolls from paper towels.
Jefferson's are definitely not my area but I'll have a go anyway. I'll be a bit of an outlier and call it 62, no FS. I just think the relatively...
I took the obverse and mirrored it and rotated it 180 degrees and then overlaid it on the reverse. By shifting the center of the obverse down and...
Well @Morgandude11 you got yourself a whale of a GTG going. Congrats on rousing so much interest.
@AirborneReams , it doesn't matter if you use distilled or deionized water. In this application they are equivalent (you chemistry buffs out...
PMD can come from many sources and be of many types, sometimes on the same coin. I see evidence on your coin of the following types; 1)...
Acetone won't hurt it. The amount of time is dictated by how long it takes it takes to do the job. Try it for about 10 minutes and then see if...
AU-50 does a disservice to this coin. Sharpness is clearly mid to high AU. If they wanted to ding it for lower luster than a 55 should have,...
Separate names with a comma.
