Interesting, I just happen to have some silver nitrate and lead nitrate laying around. Maybe I can silver plate some lincolns?
a scan may be good enough. Welcome to Cointalk!
coinshop or jewlery store will have them.
Bring a loupe and leave most of your money at home for the first show.
Cointalk, but you already found it. Do a search on guess the grade and also on counterfeits. At the top of the screen 3rd from the left....
Couldn't hurt to try a 99c auction.
You still pay a premium on the bay either wrapped into the price/shipping or by getting burned. Heritage is just up front about it.

I love Heritage, just wish some nicer stuff was available at the moment.

Thanks guys. JHXHD-they are series 1953 and 53A. This one really got my heart racing.
That blows me away. Good work on the research.
