Unfortunately, the depth of the ultrasonic cleaner I have probably precludes doing it in this manner for a dollar-sized coin while keeping the...
I called it 64. Pretty coin.
Is it the blotchty toning on the reverse? I would like to learn something from this exercise.
I am gob-smacked. I would not have thought "details". But there are more experienced people here than me. Is this a case where the TPG possibly...
It looks like it has a clash in the shield. If so, how did that happen with no other clashes visible anywhere? I am very skeptical of the coin's...
There are almost always multiple ways to skin any particular cat (apologies to Meow!). I dealt with this all the time in my working life - "Why...
It's a nice coin for the price. Lot of meat left on that bone. Previously cleaned and with some surface problems but so what? Most of these...
Last year, I posted a question asking about anyone's experience regarding cleaning coins using an ultrasonic cleaner. As you would expect, I...
I don't think I've ever seen a Colombian reverse struck up as well as this one. A few nicks in the hair on the obverse but nothing major. I give...
Saw them play live in 1982 at the cast-member opening party for Disney's Epcot Center.
The question, as asked from the original GTG posts, is: "What grade did the TPG give the coin?" Many folks also give their own assessment of the...
It's nice to see folks getting out and about again.
Good on ya, mate!
I see on the listing that it hammered at $48.09. Were you the winner? And what was the coin, dime or half-dime?
Coin shown (dime) is about EF-40. But all the text in the listing says half-dime. The 1858-O half dime in EF-40 is listed in Greysheet at $60....
Thanks. I hope you appreciate how humble I am.
I don't know the answer to this. Let's say you buy a slabbed coin with a genuine slab but the coin inside is fake. If it's certain that the TPG...
I mostly use the Leuchtturm holders. I get the 3-ring binder pages from places like Wizard Coin Supply.
I think the answer to your question largely depends on how much you intend to spend. You could fill a Dansco 7070 with mid to low-grade specimens...
Could you post a better-focused picture of the date. I'd be interested to not what it's struck over. As to your Dansco dilemma: Why not start a...
