That's very nice. Does "inherited" qualify as "under $50 purchase"? I just visited my lock boxes and started going back through everything. I had...
This is why I don't like anything smaller than a silver dollar, even with my new coin microscope. My eyes aren't what they used to be. :D
6 steps? I've never understood if they count the top one too.
I'll say AU55. This is a coin that gets worn beyond recognition easily. Those are some great details. The head and the stars on the shield have...
Sorry to hear this. I've got two titanium rods in my neck, cervical spinal stenosis. Surgery back in 2015. Funny but my neck and back don't hurt...
Are you serious? Would she happen to be testifying in some upcoming trial in Delaware soon?:D
I like this one, haven't had it graded yet. It's a VAM of some type, 1878 7TF, Reverse of 79, 4th star is broken. Any ideas which VAM? I sure...

I'll try the things you mentioned in the first post. Thanks. I already thought about stacking the stand on some large old phonebooks and rotating...
:eek:
I've been using my wife's vegetable/meat scale. It doesn't do but one decimal point after the zero but it's accurate and proven. Still haven't...
Honestly, for the money ($40) it is one bad boy little tool. It will be useful for varieties and VAMS. I just got it and beating my head against...
Depends on how many coins are in each lot. Most of them are five coin lots opening at 125 to 150 pounds. Impossible to guess grades from the...
Oops. My eyes are getting worse.o_O
Well at least you got one silver, the Washington 64. Silver holds up to the environment better than most.
I didn't see any even semi-key dates. I'm guessing those prices are the reserve amounts?
This is a great thread, one I'd been looking for. So coin grading is a dark art, and not a science. Sometimes the forum confuses me. If you dig...
LOL. I sea what you did there. Ware, Lawfare, it's been a crappy week.:(
