This is one reason you will never see me post a color photomicrograph (other than to illustrate why I don't post color photomicrographs). The...
That's a strong clash. VAM 41C. Still worth nowhere near what it seems to have sold for.
"Closer" is a strange term to apply, since it implies that you know what the true color is. If you have a daylight-balanced light source, your...
I looked up exactly what DampRid is, and on their web page, they say, "When DampRid’s all-natural crystals are exposed to air, they absorb excess...
I like this look. Experiment with placement of reflectors until you get the look you want. In general, high contrast surfaces (brilliant proofs)...

Just picked this up for my World Coins Circulating in Early America set. I'll take a better picture when I get that white gunk removed from the...
Neat die polishing lines on the portrait, for sure. Crisp die polishing lines are one sign of an early die state. 1886 dies were often used too...
That's a 64 that I would be happy having purchased.
I'm also coming up with N-4.
ANACS will be the least expensive, but their gaskets will cover up the partial collar. NGC is somewhere in between.
Looks like a really nice VAM 4. Very clean fields, scuffs on the cheek, but not many and nothing deep. No large expanse of undisturbed luster...
The clash at the stern of the ship is from IN GOD WE TRUST on the obverse. From the bow to the L just looks like the water line. I'm not sure...
