This is great. :) I think I like this setup overall the best. Combine it with @Sallent's label system and @stevex6's more extensive description...
Definitely very pretty. But, I could have used an even larger image so I could make out that FH! Top notch coin.
It is, indeed, something along those lines, although not nearly as nice as the linked coin. I've checked RIC, BMC, acsearch, cng, and...
I'm normally not the biggest fan of reverse proof (though this one says MS... hmmm?), but this is done well. I like it. Definitely a cut above...
jpscorner.com is a good general source for supplies.
Nope, neither Roys nor Roma Aeternae. I know RIC isn't the last word anymore, especially some of the earlier volumes. But, I've looked at...
I have 68+*DMPL, do I hear 69? MS69 anyone? :P Having it posted here and at certain Other Boards(tm) should help that situation. :P
@SuperDave beat me to the punch, but yeah, this looks like a clear case of die deterioration. Even the reverse has significant weakness in UNITED...
It's on Vcoins. I don't know much about the particular seller, but the coin has enough detail to plainly see the attribution is correct, and it...
I've stumbled across a very interesting Roman imperial coin that the seller notes as unpublished and which I can't find a reference to, either....
I think it's more interesting that you've noticed a directionality in the striations. I would think they'd tend to be somewhat random in...
Nope, not even close. You just have a little machine doubling is what it looks like. The last digit in the 42/1 looks almost like a capital R....
Does that mean you're selling it?
Yeah, that little bit of black stuff doesn't bother me, either. You might do more damage to the eye appeal than good by attempting to remove it.
A real stunner for a 1921. :) I could do without the fingerprint, but it doesn't really detract noticeably from the eye appeal.
Not bad. Couple of typos "incurse square", "youthfil", "facing Make heads", "Ex. Pegasi Mumismatics". Otherwise very neat looking. The only...
An acetone dip, followed by air drying would get rid of any residual oils.
I'd love to see some pics of this setup. I'm considering using a custom built cabinet for my ancients, but that isn't very portable, and having...
65, nicely struck (just a hint of flatness). Cool obv die crack.
I'm down with PMD.
