I have not been on here for a while, got busy with life. My monitor on my primary photography computer crapped out on me about a month ago and I...
I've had my share. I call them "2 Face" coins, after the episode of Seinfeld by the same title. For those of you unfamiliar, he had a girlfriend...
You are correct. I did not go far enough into the site to find it. It's good to know it is still an option. Thank you. For other who may be...
I used the wrong words. Sorry for the confusion. I was thinking along the lines of what PCGS used to offer. They had a regrade service where...
That may have been the reason they did not give it the PL designation. Maybe it was too close for them to call in the plastic. I am not too...
Sorry for potential hijacking, but I have a 1955-S with almost identical look. The streaking is heaviest on the obverse and the reverse shows...
The reverse has heavier die polish lines than the obverse, so they show up a little better in the images. I'm surprised your '64 did not get the...
For me it comes down to personal choice. I don't mind the current holders that PCGS uses, but I am not a fan of the current NGC holders. If I...
I read and supported your thread over on the PCGS board about getting PCGS to attribute the PL/DMPL designation on all US coins. I really hope...
It has an AU look to it. I would probably guess in the AU-53 - AU-55 range based on the images.
That first one does not look too bad. As others have said, I would be a little wary about the amount of weight I attach to it. I would certainly...
I missed out on guessing on this one. I would have been in the MS-63 to MS-64 camp and probably would have guesses MS-63+. There are coins that...
Yes, market graded Mint State. I won't touch those either. I also won't touch a technical MS-63 graded as a MS-65 because of the toning. I love...
Because it still has all of the original mint luster. Believe it or not just touching a coin does not take it out of "Mint State". A coin can...
They are just covered with needles and broken glass. He's getting ready to pour boiling honey over the torso and get some ants ready... ;):p
Yeah, I've learned to read GreatCollections images. They do a very good job with maintaining a consistent look. It certainly helps to buy a few...
I have a very difficult time with fingerprints as well. Large ones will make me pass on a coin no matter how attractive the toning or anything...
Looks like a match to me. :)
I'm at a high end 64 with a shot at 65.
I don't collect the Souvenir Sets, but if I find the right ones at the right price, I'll buy them to flip them. :) The Kennedy Set you listed...
