Looks like VAM 5A. Far date, partial clashed 'G' in front of Liberty's neck. Interesting in that you have two clashes that are slightly out of...
Another thing to keep in mind is that an XF45 is a choice XF coin, while an AU50 can be a bit of a dog, yet AU. You have to grade these by...
B&H is a good company to work with, so that's not going to be a junk lens, although there may be some cosmetic issues. They have a good return...
I don't doubt the new payment processor sucks. That's the case with probably every change eBay has made since the beginning of time. I just find...
That's just a FAQ on managed payments, nothing spelling out any plan eBay has to force all sellers into that platform. They have a long time to...
Yes. That's the f4 lens I have. There's also an f2.8 lens they made. You can find both on eBay as well as used at camera shops. The f2.8 lens...
So the only source for this is a thread started three months ago by a single person on eBay's discussion forum, was not corroborated by eBay, and...
In that case, I'd recommend the manual focus AI-s lens. The auto-focus without the VR is sort of a white elephant of 105 Micro-Nikkors. It is...
No need. It's right here. It's a presentation I did at FUN in 2011. Some info is about choosing a cheap camera, and is therefore outdated, but...
Unfortunately, I don't have one of these coins to play with, so I'll have you do something that sounds absurd, but might work. Take a white piece...
Manual focus 105/4 Micro-Nikkor. I used one with my D80 all the time. You should be able to get a decent one (no haze or fungus on glass) on...
The two LED lights you cite are sufficient. No need to switch to halogen, as that will just generate a lot of extra heat. Keep the camera...
The irony is that it really does, just not at the time the coins are slabbed. If you see a coin designated white that was graded 5 years ago and...
I need to update my link to that. Thanks for posting.
The Mint is a manufacturing facility that is charged with being profitable. Hyping limited edition sales and things like special packaging that...
Not really. There are records from San Francisco in 1878 about problems they were having with one employee not following instructions for...
In the US, up until 1989, they were hand punched into the working dies, allowing for the variation and mistakes that brought us the mint mark...
On the bright side, if that's the last mistake you make, you're doing better than of most of us.
It's fake. Might not even be silver. Hopefully, you bought it recently. Get your money back, either by having them refund it or by involving...
