Thank you all for the feedback. I'm pretty busy this weekend, but I'll try to get motivated to make time to shoot a few more; maybe 1940-1941.
Many congratulations. As avid of a Jefferson collector as I am, I do not have a single PR-70 specimen. I did purchase one once, but I was not...
BTW, the best $1 I ever spent was on my 1977 Merck manual from a garage sale. Yes, I keep track of this stuff.
Triple-beam balance. Wow....that takes me back to first-year university chemistry. Hiho: It's funny you should mention that. The JSVG-40 is the...
Nah...I could never compare to Lehigh's collection, but thanks for the comparison. Paul has some fantastic stuff. The photos are not what I...
I had some time on my hands today, so I decided to foray once again into numismatic photography. For a long while, I've wanted to use diffused...
You're welcome. If you want an even cheaper investment, get those books from the library. It is nice to maintain your own collection, but there...
1. You might want to contact the mint by phone or e-mail to ask about the tolerance/variations in weight. I have found there to be a decent...
Sorry, Ryan. These are modern tokens of some sort, and are of little value. They are novelties, but not coins.
Ah. I think the book you want is Bernard Nagengast's "Jefferson Nickel Analyst." He goes over each date/mintmark combination and gives his...
When you use a price guide, you're generally looking at a 5-step price. For many issues (think 1941, 1947, 1948), there is no significant price...
Weight is the key here.
Henning nickels were struck on genuine planchets, so the weight shouldn't be off. It's possible that someone would put two halves together, but...
The Hunt brothers were a whole different kind of animal. Cornering the market with 6 pieces won't get you in trouble. After all, Colonel E.H.R....
Die cracks should not affect the technical grade. You want to examine the condition of the coin versus the condition when it was struck. Since it...
Probably not, but if I were you I'd search high and low for the remaining examples. Then you could do some damage.
Ah....gotcha. Yes, you are correct there. I have purchased these coins all along, and I like them. If I am unable to complete my set by...
I don't know for certain, but haven't all the sales been below 15K anyway? I don't think this will have much impact.
Looks like FS-022 to me. Nice.
I don't understand the question. Do you mean how much earth is displaced because coins are dropped? I'd say it's a net decrease, because of...
Separate names with a comma.
