Would an angled shot be better?
I can't quite tell whether this one is proof or business strike. From pics online, both strike types have that grainy texture on the obverse's...
Does this 1943 Australia Shilling look proof-like? It appears to have a mirror like finish with a cartwheel luster at the same time. Yet, it also...
Yep I meant NZ. Australia is the other coin I bought. Yes! I knew it looked like it. And original luster to boot.
Whoops! Uploaded the photos directly to the CT site this time. Thanks!
Is this a broken back error? From the ones I've seen online, the bottom part of the back is missing a device. Does this fit the bill? I've...
Does anyone know what type of error this is? Excess metal that got squeezed off to the sides when the planchets were formed? Thanks in advance!...
Isn't corrosion describing the effect, and patina is the layer and color that forms? And, maybe verdigris is a type of patina - one that easily...
But it produces patina, at least on silver... I've experimented with it myself to test the scenario of AT/NT and intentional/unintentional....
What if you get your brand spanking new 2016 ASE coins in the mail, leave them on your table, cook a bunch of hard boiled eggs for a large batch...
But what if you accidentally leave your coin in a sulfuric environment? The coin may look heavily AT though it's unintentionally toned.
Well, it's too late now but how about for future reference, die markers are off and the damage attempts to hide such identifying features.
Judging by the order it's written and the center-ish label position, I think what NGC was getting at is a sticker label. But, I don't see how...
This would've been a good April Fools Day joke... two days from now. That said, the info sounds accurate, at least with the sulfur part. But I...
I think I asked about something similar to this over the phone with them. I believe they'll simply adjust the submission form accordingly once...
I saw a checkbox option, too, where you can pay a small fee of I believe $3 or so to get the OGP returned to you. I believe it was on the upper...
Here are some of mine, at least of what can fit in a 5" binder. They're mostly in Quadrums then in 2.5" pocket pages. It's funny to look at, but...
Gold and silver coins count as "bling", right? :)
Do you or anyone here know if NGC is actually against using paper inserts for the other pocket? I know NGC tells you to use sticker labels, but...
I should mention that I use Quadrums for my coin collection. The 2x2 flips I usually get from sellers whom I buy from. So, I get a variety of...
