Well, the 7070 is the best, hands down. I've done that at least three times over the decades, and might do it again, especially since they've...
Worst case scenario, even culls, they're a nice big ol' piece of silver.
I agree, and those factors are what made me decide to pursue a circulated set myself. I'm going after a particular look, though, so I can't just...
This 1892-O is also on the way. Has just the right look, even though as of this moment I've only got an obverse image. [IMG]
This 1901-O is also on the way. I'm not sure if it will have enough contrast to suit me, and it's a bit low grade, like my 1900-O, but it was...
The edge is rather beveled and squared off, but I see no casting seam, nor anything that looks suspicious to me in my limited, practically...
That's great. Not only was I unfamiliar with this particular Dansco, but I love your digital flipbook version.
Neat album! Pretty coins! I was going to say @Stork would like this, but I see she's already visited.
Here's a 1903 that's on the way. So far only an obverse picture, though the seller assures me the reverse toning is consistent with the obverse....
Though I just started this set, I've gotten one of the tougher Peace dollars out of the way early. I ended up with this 1921 Peace dollar in a...
Here's a nice "crusty" 1890-O I got in a swap from @Justinokay. This is the look I'm after. "Original grey" is the catchphrase to sum up what...
Well, it's 2018 now, so time to update this. I kicked around with this idea and changed my mind, as you see in the previous post. Had pretty...
I dunno what your angle will end up being, but I will mention that I recently started playing around with a Dansco #7172 Silver Dollar Date Set...
Those were some seriously fatigued dies! I've never seen one quite like that.
Hi, Dave (and anybody else with similar thoughts). You're in a good place here. Just express your interest on the Ancients forum here and...
Not sure what you're going to find in English beyond Krause. Perhaps @chrisild might know?
Someone ground off the reverse. This did not happen at the mint. Therefore it would be an error to suppose this was a mint error.
I'm not qualified to pass judgment on the camera or microscope doohickeys, but loupes like the one @desertgem recommended are good. I've got a...
Nice writeup! Gunning for your first Featured post, are you? ;) It's got my vote. In fact, I just "reported" you (in a good way). PS- the...
Congrats. I would of course have been clueless about the rarity of the variety. I'm glad there are specialist folk like you out there, though.
