I agree. As was said elsewhere, there is (and should be) die erosion all over the obverse, but those arrows are pointing at something else....
I think one of the driving points of the 37-D Three Legged is the relative availability of the coin, even in mint state. I don't think a single...
Very sorry, Charmy -- that stinks. Hope the police get them.
Die erosion refers to the uneven flow lines that look like rough surfaces which are prominent in all 3 legged variety examples, including yours....
BNB Can you tell us where the smudge marks are on the obverse? All I see is the die erosion. Looks like a nice AU coin to me.
Well, the short answer, in my opinion, is, True. A nice collection is assembled by patiently trying to put together a beautiful collection that...
Fretboard Doug and others have answered this question before but I can't find the thread I am thinking of. For me, it is a safety deposit box,...
An interesting question but I think the answer has to be f) None of the above. Collectors are just way too diverse to group together. Some are...
Sorry, all I see is a couple of dings on Liberty's face, probably having a good deal to do with why it's graded MS63. This is a fairly common...
Nice commem. I have thought I might try collecting the art deco issues one of these days. As for snow, we got about 7 inches where I'm at in New...
This seems dead on to me. "Dark lustrous" is not a description you will often see or for that matter "Deeply toned, booming luster".;)
I think you're going to enjoy it, BNB, but it sounds like you better have a family member hide it until Christmas. The temptation to peek may be...
I am not much of an NGC guy and one reason is the star system, which I do not like. I think eye appeal should be part of the numerical grade and...
Can't tell much from photos and I defer to those with real gold expertise. But owning a Dahlonega or Charlotte coin in itself would be a nice...
Well done -- it seems like you should be generally happy with these grades based on what I see. These coins comprise a set that goes well...
Paul, you are dead on. The 1925 has great luster and I think it is the luster that Todd struggled with. For whatever reason, I think it is a tough...
Thanks, Paul. The 1925 is a neat coin that I picked up at Baltimore and is an example of a coin I would never have found on the internet because...
I wanted to share a few more of the shots I have from Todd at BluCC of my Buffalos. I eventually hope to have a good portion of my Buffalos and...
As always, a thoughtful post from Lehigh. Not sure I agree that you can compare those two Washington Quarters as equals in grade and I also...
