Some more pics out of the 2x2. I know it may be hard to tell still but thought I'd try the better lighting technique out. :) The green is not PVC...
Shouldn't it be a nickel color and not a light copper color, since it's a 5c planchet made of nickel alloy? Or, did copper somehow end up as the...
Just saw this on eBay and the title says it was thought to be impossible. Is that true? Is this the only known one? PCGS graded and going for...
Yeah I'm using a goose neck table lamp (incandescent) in addition to the main light (LEDs) and another fixed lamp (CFL). I'll have to play with...
It's really hard to get the lighting with head on shots for me, as I always block the light. I don't know how you all do it so well. What's a...
Here are some more pics with a little better lighting. The surface levels are different and on the obverse, there is a clear diagonal line of...
Is this a lamination error on a 1945 Lincoln penny? Any idea on worth? Thanks in advance! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a plastic funnel so I'm good to go with that. Do you know how long I can store acetone in a rinsing bottle?

Well this coin weighs in at 28.32 grams. The standard weight is 28.2759 grams, so this coin is .0441 grams above standard. Anything to be...
I think the seller can "write your own" in the item specifics in the "grade" drop down menu. So, Item Specifics > Grade > Write Your Own > XF...
I use my credit card for purchases and get cash back every time :). So actually, this rounding system would hardly ever effect me, though I would...
Ooh, I'll have to check out that book. It seems the book has good reviews on the 'net, too. I'll try to remove more of that gunk, just wish there...
So I have a zombie cent!
Mine doesn't have a flip-top. It just unscrews with a 1" opening. It's like the one below and I have issues pouring with that. [IMG]
I use the Klean Strip gallon can, I believe that is 100% acetone. Also, when it's full or close to full, no matter how I try it, it will spill. It...
On the letter R of the obverse in the word Trust, there is a circle area rising above the letter R's surface at the top half of the letter. Is...
