I've seen much worse in PCGS holders, but I don't think it would make the more stringent NGC 5FS cut. I voted for PCGS FS.
Whatever. More baseless nonsense. The piece you seem to not understand is that a straight-on image is a function of the lights used to create...
You continue to perpetuate a fallacy of logic. I agree that no single photo can portray all attributes of a coin. However, I also believe that a...
Doug, I've seen plenty of scans you have historically posted (none that I would call decent), but never any decent photographs. I have also read...
With reference to cmp9ball's comment that "...taking photos at an angle tends to hide potentially distracting marks that can affect grade and...
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, but what Chris states about tilting coins is for the most part completely true. Coins tilted...
The obverse busts are also quite different. The 1D has a taller skinny bust. The 2D has a very round head and a more protuding forehead. From...
Hotpocket, submitting coins is a great learning experience. I don't see any problem with submitting coins like this one, especially if you have...
Submitted to NGC at the FUN show in January. Just got back to me yesterday. It's now in an NGC MS65BN holder. This is a halfpenny token minted...
I'm not seeing anything on the holder that makes me think fake. I can't have an opinion of the coin as I can't really see much of it clearly.
You're comparing apples to oranges. The scans of the slabs have nothing to do with proper images of coins. If that truly is a question you're...
Sigh...yet another thread I wish I hadn't opened. Tim, some advice -- think before you post. :rolleyes:
An absolutely splendid coin design. One of my favorites from the 20th century! :D
1) The images are free, and done as a service so you can get an idea of whether the coin you're looking to buy is the same as the one at the time...
Thanks Matt. The take away message for me has been that, 1) Many coins that have the CAC sticker I find very attractive, and high-end -- but not...
Quite frankly, after a few CAC threads recently, I'm not sure what to think of CAC anymore. Despite what their website says, more than one savvy...
I agree there is no middle ground. I don't like the acid tests for the reasons you stated. The submersion of the medal under water isn't...
Regardless of how you measure it (displacement, or weight in water), you would need to submerse the medal in water, correct? That's the part that...
While this is true, it's not exactly something that's very easy. To do it appropriately (at least that I've seen) you need to have a very precise...
As micbraun stated, the Funck work is the standard.
