If the reverse proof had the US flag like the enhanced uncirculated, that would tip the balance in favor of the reverse proof for me. IMHO, minus...
I wish! I should have noted that those are internet pics. Since I don't want anymore business strike ones, I'm trying to decide between the proof...
Which finish do you like better on any given coin? I can see arguments for both. If the fields have a mirror finish then the devices have a...
On a similar note to this topic, how has the phenomenon of grade inflation played out since 1972? I hear it's softened in general. I wonder what...
That'd be interesting to see. Please post - maybe take a pic/scan of the article's pages directly and post here. I don't think that would be...
By non-box, I'm referring to the typical wood box or those small engagement ring style boxes. The commonly marketed presentation of coins is to...
I guess I'm different from most collectors... I generally like to have one of each type of coin, so as to keep things visually interesting. So, as...
Definitely :)
Yeah, I made it an effort to buy this at the specific year, it took a while... I'm probably going to send it off to NGC. There's a slabbed 1776...
It's got decent details. Scratches throughout, esp. noticeable in the fields. Most are not too deep though. Probably cleaned at one point over...
Changing the colors? Like this :D It's the fourth button from the top left, right next to the underline button.

Does anyone have a discount code for ANA membership, for the gold or platinum tiers? I don't want to come off as cheap, but this is an...
Thanks for that info - it looks like WBG is consistent and accurate, which is a huge plus. I'm relatively new to paper notes, and got into because...
Yes I know... The point is not that I would, but that polished coins may still be identified as raw matte proof coins that had been polished,...
Mine is 10mm in length and 8mm wide, or an "average" diameter of 9mm. It's much thinner and smaller than a 1964 silver dime (which is 2.5 grams),...
As a silver type, government issue collector, I'd still purchase a slabbed coin if I know that it's under-priced for flipping purposes. I'd get my...
So it's because they've established a certain reputation in the TPG marketplace. But why not, slowly but surely over many years, grade their...
What causes business strike planchets to get chamfered along the edge in the first place? Are the chamfers created when the planchets are punched...
But what if you're purchasing a business strike coin anyway, and wondering if the example may be a rare proof variety (that may cost a little more...
Separate names with a comma.
