Number 2 easily wins in my eye.
Man I have a hard time distinguishing them. There's a proof in the plain 1981-S slot too that I haven't gotten to. It looks like this album is...
No, the 99 in my Book is definitely not a Proof.
Yes, as well as being hard to distinguish, these were also the hardest I've ever had to photograph too. Being proofs the light reflects so easily....
I picked up this Book last night and ever since I've been trying to figure out if the coin in the Type 2 slot is indeed a Type 2 mintmark. I've...
When I first saw the word GOD through my loop I thought it could be the 1909 VDB DDO, but it's not. This is what caught my eye though, how is...

I'm having a hard time positively IDing this old worn coin. It looks like a 1795 Real, but I don't know if it's a 1/4 Real, 1/2 Real or what. It's...
Meaning they’re slow, or just bad at grading?
I bit the bullet and sent it in to PCGS for grading. In all, with fees, shipping, and insurance, it cost me about $90. I still think it's a long...
Thanks all for your help. Today I compared my coin to the NGC example character-by-character and am convinced they came from the same die based...
[ATTACH] I took the coin in to work today and weighed it on two different analytical balances. They both said 27.38 grams. Technically this is...
