As a software engineer of 32 years, currently developing AI software related to imaging, who tied former PCGS president Ron Guth for 1st in NGC's...
Perhaps VAM 4 then.
Looks like it's probably VAM 3. AU cleaned. Not a good buy.
If you like it, then it's nice toning. I'm sort of indifferent to it. It's not what everyone seeks in a Morgan dollar, but it is natural.
My 1942 Proof set. (64RD, 65, 67, 65, 65, 65) [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
A well-detailed 1941 Walker. Most of these have missing detail in the flag, skirt, wing, and most famously, the initials. [IMG]
Most likely damaged by the mount, but also looks clipped. I don't suppose there's any chance you weighed it before she mounted it, is there?
You might want to watch this video. It's a presentation I did at FUN in 2011. Some of it has to do with selecting inexpensive equipment, but...
Yes, but I've found this works quite well.
I leave one of these sitting on the back of my camera when is not in my camera bag. It'll cost you $2-3, maybe. [ATTACH]

I've posted volumes on this subject here before. There are other fish to fry with AI before grading gets tackled. While it's technically...
My CSNS purchases showed up today. Some gold for my World Coins Circulating in Early America set. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Gonna need good pictures to go with that claim. There are currently no 1976-D RPMs listed and no D/S for the entire series.
For the most part, counterstamps that are identifiable are 19th century merchant counterstamps, effectively making the coin into an advertising...
I've thought that the current Jefferson obverse is just a beginning Hobo Nickel assignment away from being an Alice Cooper obverse. (A "Hello,...
And there's part of the other side of the story I was talking about. Now the video seems like a disingenuous rant.
First of all, diffuse the light. A lot. On these coins, all of the detail is on the unfrosted part, so you should concentrate on getting light...
Another possibility is that this coin had a planchet defect at the rim and it became disturbed during holdering. It's a rather strangely shaped...
Separate names with a comma.
