Forgot to say it: No bean.
1913 $2-1/2 NGC 62: I think it's good for the grade, but I don't think it's an A or B coin. There are too many scratches both obverse and...
I'll finish this one early since it looks like just about everyone has already weighed in. 7 out of 7 say it deserves a bean. The 1853 No Arrows...
Super accomplishment! It's hard to do especially with a budget. I really like your documentation effort.
BTW, scratches are on the slab, not the coin.
OK, I think I'm on deck: Here is an 1853 No Arrows dime, NGC MS-64. Mintage 95,000 before they switched over to the With Arrows variety. Did it...
Orange County, Florida is on a complete lockdown and I have heard a rumor that the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) will not be having any...
I see enough small nicks and ticks on the figure of Liberty and some other obverse locations to give it a 63. The reverse looks gem to me. So, I...
Coin Porn! Corn Pone! Hee Haw! Junior Samples! Just an example of the mind following a thread. Here's one I got at FUN. [ATTACH]

I think I've got it but I won't ruin your fun. Nice coin.
The TPGs tend to be pretty generous on the early gold. Don't know how JA is about them, though. I think it's good enough for a 45 but doesn't...
@johnmilton, please continue your dissertations on Hard Times Tokens and any other topic you think might be interest to the membership. I am...
Ah, @physics-fan3.14, so you work in the reactor prototype training command. My son served on the attack boats Virginia and Missouri and...
I think my photos of this coin are pretty accurate of the coin in hand although even so you can't tell everything from one set and one lighting...
I seldom buy or bid on raw coins on eBay, but I will take a chance on the common IHCs because there isn't much money at risk. I picked this one...
While the modern MS-70 coinage is pretty, they don't have the charm, history, or stories to tell of our 18th and 19th century coinage. IMHO....
@Lehigh96, I absolutely agree with your point about blowing them up. I have sometimes cringed about some of my favorite coins when I've looked at...
