That is a funny idea! I should do that sometime as well :)
WOW. I've read this whole thread and I am very impressed with your brother's decision. In all honesty, I'm not sure that I would have made the...
Definitely not even CLOSE to being the "Hardest Coin to Find"...but still a great coin! The design is definitely pristine, as well as the gold...
I am going to say counterfeit based off the fact that a) too clean as a coin (it would grade much higher than MS64 IMHO since it has virtually no...
I liked your idea WL about the gif thing...so I tried it out myself. It actually isn't a bad idea: (Sorry about the super small size. I would...
Between the first two; definitely the first option. Way more detail on the reverse and has smoother surfaces
I think you use the die variation option. Also, I recommend sending it to PCGS to get top dollar for your coin. NGC just doesn't match up to PCGS...
IMHO, I would only possibly justify spending $75 on a toned SBA proof if it was slabbed.
I'm not sure if that was meant to be sarcastic, but (if it was), I definitely agree with him. Be wary of many "potential" buyers looking to rip...
Awesome coin -- definitely worth many multiples of what a normal SBA Proof would be worth. I would recommend submitting it to PCGS
Nice! I did not even know those two special releases existed!
Personally, I think PCGS TrueView does a heck of a job catching at least 75% of the main colors in toned coins. However, I do agree that ALL the...
Agreed. Reverse has great detail, and Lincoln's face still has some depth to it.
I believe only the 1970 proof cents are known to have such outrageous toning. There must have been some kind of trace impurities in the process of...
And the cion appears to have some awesome luster. Great clip! (Don't get it graded)
Really? I always thought that most of the DD's in the 90's besides maybe the 95 ones (and even those are pretty cheap) are only worth $10-20 in BU...
TRUE D/CAMs look great. Modern ones...meh. But IMHO they're still okay. And I thought washington quareters never had much detail to start with...
Haven't opened it yet but picked up an OBW 1943-P BU Lincoln Wheat roll for $11 + shipping
I personally think rare is subjective. It all depends on how many resources/revenue you have available to blow on coins.
Is it worth resubmitting them? I've heard that standards were supposedly "better" back then (i.e.: they graded harder), and today many might be...
