Is the reverse of the 58D Franklin toned as well? That is classic mint set toning, and I like it.
I'd probably put it at a 53. Not enough color for my tastes, but the luster appears nice, the strike is good, and I don't see any major...
Ah, I haven't been around much recently. Is he on your ignore list? This is what he posted, and I agree with it:
Almost certainly, machine doubling.
Oh, I'm pretty sure Corgi nailed it.
I believe the one on the right is genuine. The one on the left is a fake coin in a fake slab.
Here's a bit more modern description ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaing_machine I'm not sure what the top one is, but there's only one...
The slab photos seem to show a scruffier coin with less luster than your initial photos. Still, 61 seems a bit low.
I think I top out at 63 based on those pictures. However... I'm almost always a point low on your GTGs.
I'll be honest... I really didn't expect my set to win... that's just a throw-together grab-bag piece-meal of my real set. If you're actually...
Where your set ranks doesn't mean as much to me... I'm not chasing "best classic" or "best modern" set. To me, the presentation is the most...
Two in one year? You need to slow down a bit man and give the rest of us a chance to catch up! Haha, seriously though... I'm not sure if anyone...
Congrats to everyone who won an award! I recognize a few names on the list, some of them members here. Apologies if I don't tag you (feel free to...
No, that is not a cud. The coin underneath is fine - and the rim that's exposed is not distorted. That is extra material added to the coin. It...
AU-58. You don't see as many 1921s with attractive toning, it seems.
Where do you see that? The link says it sold for $5596. In my opinion $1250 is absolutely ridiculous. If the link is correct, $5596 is...
You appear to have one of these:...
I've always had excellent dealings with them. Given that I collect French Colonial Morocco, they have often been a source for interesting...
OK... what I'm hearing is St. Gaudens, 63-65, slabbed, problem free, and most likely NGC (but open to PCGS). St. Gaudens started in 1907, so...
Yes, the label looks weird, but this is in fact an NGC coin. The "Nevada Silver Collection" was an early special label. You might have heard of...
Separate names with a comma.
