I am actually studying aerosoace engineering at Georgia Tech right now. ;)
Just so you know, the more you try to convince yourself that what you are looking at is what you want it to be, the more you will see what you...
1891 here.
I was going to say MS-65 and MS-64. Not too far off. The quarter looks 65, but I think it got knocked down a point for being dipped. I'm sure the...
Those halos are luster. This coin has about 40% of the luster remaining, hence my AU-53 assessment, but what luster is there is strong and...
Die chipping. Adds a little premium, but not much. It is cool though.
I talked to the owner of the shop. He had no idea what is was worth, so he sold it to me at a markup of what he paid, which must have been close...
All of these coins just have text. Those that do have imagery are either fakes or charms. The lack of images are what puts off a lot of collectors...
I just bought this from a "We Buy Gold" shop near where I go to school. The dealer wanted $80 for it, so I gave him $80. How did I do? I'm...
Looks like a cast pewter copy.
So, is this script completely different from that used on the Yong Tong Wan Guo from the Northern Zhou dynasty? I love the coin. I have never...
I'm thinking VF-30
Yes, leave her alone! Those new pictures help. I will say MS-62 as I see no wear.
Pictures are way too over exposed and pixelated to make an accurate determination from them. There is a spot of blurriness over each of the sets...
I have no fine art, nor do I plan on buying any. If I want a pretty painting, I can get one from a relatively unknown artist for much cheaper.
VF-25. Polished and retoned. Could be the pictures, but the surfaces do NOT look right.
My gut said VF-30. Old cleaning, but market acceptable.
Wow, that is quite the improvement. What did you use? I don't quite know how to interpret your photos, but I am thinking AU-58 or MS-62.
Very true, but multitudes of complete Lincoln cent sets (or something of the like) can get very boring. I like collecting what fewer people are...
@WingedLiberty Your set is different than just plugging the holes and struggling with a key date. You also have the third axis of eye appeal,...
