I'm looking through all of my coins as I prepare to send my coins to NGC, and making some raw purchases in the next couple of days to maybe send...
Personally, I like to stick with "I like it" or "I don't like it". It'll make sense to me and others may not agree, but I'll get the coin if its...
And is this just MD on the date? [ATTACH] EDIT: And split serif on the "W" in "WE" - just a result of MD, too? Maybe they're repunched? [IMG]
I bet the Ancients forum will be better at figuring this out. Maybe a mod will move it there.
And, in the pic above, is the branch doubled at the top (the one with the leaf overlapping the fasces)? Looking at other examples on the 'net,...
Maybe this one's a bit better to show the bands and the black spots. There's no break in the split, and what would it grade with the black spots...
Yeah, I was thinking that I needed a minimum of an MS-67 FSB. There are lots of little black dots, maybe carbon spots, that make it appear as if...
It sounds like my coin would come back as a low MS grade, or not high enough to at least break even... even when the toning bit is excluded?
If conservation would fix it, then I'd submit it.
Here's my 1936-P Mercury Dime. I've determined that it would be worth it for me to submit to both NCS and NGC if it's able to reach the grade that...
How about a Rolodex? lol I'll have to brainstorm all of the different setups, including custom options. [IMG]
Maybe, but I think that it's more likely a polishing job like some others suggested. Plating the copper and steel pennies, as well as the...
Yes, please.
Stability of the coin is an interesting point. I'll have to look into that a bit more. I remember reading accounts of people seeing Morgans in...
Maybe I should get one of those vertical binders instead, use the same archival pages, and insert the coins from the right. I don't think I'll...
Sweet, anyone want to trade? I'll give you 11 shiny war nickels for one lol. On a serious note, you reminded me to go look for one of those....
It looks like they missed a spot lol. Maybe it happened afterwards. [IMG]
They're all plated, unless it's some other type of coating or finish. Maybe it was polished. I got this at a good deal so I'm happy with it....
... said no numismatist ever. Total plating job, right? I can try and take better pics but it's obviously not a proof set. And no, it wasn't...
I need to upgrade my binder... I know that I can put them all in different binders by region or some other category, but nah. I'm thinking of...
Separate names with a comma.
