Is it raised? It appears to be a die gouge. See if this answers your question: https://www.error-ref.com/die-gouges/
Very, very cool. I've seen this one and I've seen the Walton specimen. Fun story - I was at the PCGS table when they slabbed the Walton...
I love a nice, big, easy to see die crack like this. Not only do they make the coin more interesting, but they also make it super easy to nail...
@Mark Metzger , before I respond with another writeup like I did in the last post (which, I will do that this afternoon)... I'd really like to see...
The obverse has quite a few marks as well. They are just hidden under the toning and harder to see. The reverse has wide open fields at the...
Since I haven't posted much here in the last year or so, I've got a few coins to catch up on sharing. This one was from earlier in the year. I saw...
I never went to this show, but I'll say that Florida has some of the best local shows of all the states I've lived in. You might think it's a...
Do you transport them often? Or mostly they stay in one spot? My concern would be a box that big with that many slabs could get quite heavy.
So your goal is to get them all for less than $20 each? Is that even possible? Are you just doing Classic Head (1808-1814) or are you doing other...
This is well outside my wheelhouse, so I can't say that I really know much about the gift - but it was still a generous and thoughtful thing to do!
Unfortunately, the couple of years before he got arrested he went down in a spiral, burned a lot of people, burned a lot of bridges, and cost a...
Funny story - I used to own that coin. I sold it many, many years ago when I needed the money for something else, and because it didn't fit my...
oh, now there's a blast from the past! I haven't thought about kryptonite in a long time. How much longer is he on the inside? Anyone know?
Hey Hommer, I'm not really quite sure what your opinion on this slab is. Could you clarify?
I agree with John - too many coins for a single post. As a general rule, one good picture per side is sufficient, and try to limit it to 2 or 3...
I agree. Even accounting for the soft strike, that seems high. I like it best at 45, but a 50 would not be out of place if the luster is as strong...
I'll identify it for you: absolutely freaking gorgeous. As for the Sheldon, I can't help you at all - these are not my area.
Yeah, Krause says 61k. Darn good memory! Do you collect these?
This coin is gorgeous! I purchased it somewhat recently, but only just took pictures of it. It's about the size of a US quarter (for reference),...
It has clearly been dipped and retoned - but the secondary toning looks legit. I can see why they might be hesitant though.
