I'm calling it a VF-35 on the slab. BTW, nice to meet you at FUN.
Don't pull the plug. Many of us have been consumed by the FUN show this week!
Fantastic to meet and chat with the other members. Halfcent1793 wowed me with his "pocket coin". Great show - I'm writing this after having...
These are my first two, won at auction last night. Photos are sellers. [IMG] [ATTACH]
That is great! I've been thinking about searching for some Fugio data on-line and a book but you've given me a solid start. Thanks.
I don't think I've ever seen a proof IHC with a poor strike. To your question, this is really a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" question....
Since you have a Nikon D60, it probably has the "mirror lock" function. Using this, pressing the shutter once raises the mirror out of the way,...
Nice work, Doug and just shows how many ways there are to skin the cat. You are correct about the gear rack. It is superfluous but the engineer...
Jack, I love this exercise. It is teaching me a lot at the feet of the master and bringing the issue of counterfeits to front and center. Thanks...
I like how you put "MS" in quotation marks. Would they call this "cabinet friction"? Still, a pretty coin.
Well Di Nomos, I was in the same quandary as you with regard to copy stands - I didn't like the price or quality of what was available at a price...
I call this fake and voted such. It has the correct diagnostics for the C-4 (Obv. 3, Rev. C) and the die lump at "1"; blunt left foot at "T"; Die...
Quite nice. I'd say VF-35. Yes, it's a little dark but I think that just sets off the devices nicely. I've seen many lighter coins in the same...
OK, I'll play. This 1939 Walking Liberty Half in PCGS Proof 67 CAC is part of my complete collection of the seven proofs in this series...
Lovely coin. 58 all the way with lots of interesting things going on the reverse. As others said, better color and luster than most.
I wrestled with this one. Can't speak to its genuosity (should be a word). TPG grade AU-50 details. I think they would think it's been dipped...
My first coin for 2020 will be purchased at FUN. The last FUN show, I made my first purchase at the second table on the right immediately after...
I'm getting so many of these right or very close that I'm in danger of beginning to think I know what I'm doing! Gotta be careful about that with...
Looks like a fake. The mintmark is in the right position for the WB-1 and WB-2 marriages but the mintmark itself does not look like the "small,...
I voted 66 without a doubt and might go 67. I would like to have this one.
