Wow. 100,000 pennies is a chunk of change. Two thousand rolls. 40 boxes. I would expect banks to take care of good customers with rolls of coins...
Hi. Yes, it's a proof with mirrored fields. But the toning keeps light from being fully reflected, as on a highly polished untoned coin. I...
:eek: Can we see more pix? Just shoot one, with them all in a big pile. :goofer: Lance.
Hey, what's wrong with hand washing? I do it all the time, especially before handling raw coins. And afterwards! LOL. I'm not sure why I have a...
I think it's genuine too. I also think you are one lucky SOB! What else did grandpa leave you? Lance.
OMG! BNB? Nevermind...I'll hold my tongue. Lance.
It's hard to see if there's rub from the photos. In hand, inspect the cheek, hair to the right of her face, leading edge and upper right of the...
Thanks! PCGS was very tough on it, grading it MS64. :( Lance.
Here's another newp from the Santa Clara show. It's an 1847/47. The overdate on the 7 is very subtle on this variety and can be seen just at the...
Maybe so. And certainly easy for the OP to validate so there really is no debate. It's just an unlikely omission and pictures can deceive. The...
Your question is good. It just looks that way in the photo. Toning isn't flaking off. The area that looks untoned is really a silvery lilac-gray...
It appears to be genuine. VDB is often hard to see in a picture due to its size, shadows, etc. The initials can't be hidden from die grease since...
Sorry, Camaro dude...I meant gold. Forget all that other stuff! Early 20th century gold $5? Mid 19th century $1 gold? If you have good eyes, go...
Hi Oval_man. Thanks, no problem sharing. I don't have any really special secrets. :( It's an MS61. That's a funny grade, isn't it? You almost...
Well, how about a nice AU large cent? You get history, a big chunk of pure copper (almost half dollar size), a connection to the early years at...
If it has no luster in your opinion then there is no way it would grade anywhere near 58. Luster is a requirement for AU. Lance.
What an amazing toner! That is a very appropriate title! If you had said the Oregon was raw and wondered if it would be graded, I would have...
The '24-D is far tougher than most think. I have been looking to upgrade a 64RB for five years and haven't found the right one. Your PCGS-graded...
Holy cow, 900fine! That is a superb New Orleans reverse. Just gorgeous! Can we see the other side? Here's the proof T$ I mentioned. Thanks for...
Kind of you to say. Thank you. I have been looking for that T$ for almost 3 years. My heart stopped when I saw the luster and, like a poker...
