One more, mouth facing up to capture the field left of the head. This is as about as far as I can zoom out with current stand. [ATTACH]
I'm not seeing it. I've got several MS65 graded coins. There are always a stray hairline or two in in higher grades. The photos are the best I...
Electrolysis did not fix the carbon spots on the bottom two coins in the photo. They are dead soldiers worth melt value plus whatever the normal...
The 24 up top is not. I have not touched it. I didn't even want to take it out of the Saflip to photograph it, but I did after all the...
The 22 had a old cleaning, which is one of the reasons why I picked that one to be a guinea pig. The carbon damage alone makes it uncollectable...
Images can be enlarged by clicking on the image. Really nice feature of Coin Talk. Here are the two that have grotesque carbon spots. I've...
Okay, I'm back. The coin in question. How much of a ding in grade is this? I haven't messed with it whatsoever, not even dipped in acetone. Really...

It's crazy how many people used to put tape across a coin. What were they thinking? :eek:
Going through a vast collection I inherited and finally going into the weeds and details piece by piece lately. (Peace, in this case). I just came...
Holy crap! What's an error like that worth?:eek:
What's funny (not ha ha funny) there are two dealers that hock their junk on a regular basis with doctored photos and people still buy them. I get...
The dead boy from Stand By Me lost it on the railroad track. :D Ad should include the following wording: "I know what I got, don't try and lowball...
This. I just got back 50 Morgans from ANACS. I submitted a 1894S that came back graded as well as a details designation of damaged. So they will...
How did you get two freebies? I got a $1 break per coin off their coin show special offer per submission back in April at a coin show. I guess I...
