I didn't mean to worry you. But, if that baby is a circulation strike, then man-almighty you have a great piece!! :cool:
All I can say is WOW! I have never seen a 1957 nickel hammered like that. I think it's good for at least 5FS, but I just noticed the field above...
Is that a circulation strike nickel?? It looks like a proof to me, and I would grade it PF67. The FS designation is not given on proof...
This one came today. I'm also adding a close-up of the reverse design to show the details of the Promontory Golden Spike Ceremony (and two...
I wish CoinTalk had a "Coin Photography" separate forum. This kind of discussion just makes me giddy inside. :) OK, again, sorry to hijack this...
Bob, as others have stated, I prefer my images to look like the coin looks without tweaking, turning, tilting, standing on my head, etc. ;) I...
I'm not going to spend the money on doing it, but I dare say that you would be surprised at the lack of consistency at PCGS (or NGC for that...
It took me 2.5 years to get to where I am with my images. Are they perfect? NO. But, because photography is a hobby I also really enjoy, I...
I don't want to hijack the NEWPS thread too much, but here is my example. I didn't pay for the TrueView, but it's just a coin I purchased and it...
I guess the final decision of whose plastic is better will only come when they flip a slab pre-game at the Superbowl instead of a Coin. ;)
Paul, I know it's not a rare or expensive coin. But to enjoy it in your collection why pay $30ish dollars for regrading, plus $20 for TrueView,...
All TrueView images are taken of raw coins before they are holdered.
Lance, you are correct that it was March 2010 (March 25th to be exact), but according to PCGS's own website, the announcement was a joint...
Yeah, both NGC and PCGS make mistakes that should be obvious. I just got a new medal that someone else had graded by NGC that is labeled (1971),...
I know they are attributed by Sheldon not Newcomb....I was just offering an example of a difficult attribution. Edge lettering isn't one such type.
Strong suit not attribution? This wasn't a Newcomb variety or something. It was either words or vines/bars on the edge. If they can't see a...
PCGS and NGC announced plus grading jointly on the same day in the spring of 2010. I was referring to the edge-viewable holder. NGC released a...
True. I am just waiting for PCGS to rip off NGC (again) and start giving a star equivalent.
Why on earth would you cross that out of an MS66* holder? Very pretty coin!
The question that comes to mind is how did they mis-attribute it to begin with? It's not exactly a difficult attribution....and you'd think for a...
Separate names with a comma.
