Good post, PhysPi! I think that luster is the most under-appreciated feature of a coin. Not only is it difficult to be a good judge of, but it...
I have two things to add to this thread. First, that 1932 is a stunning coin. Second, you can take what Mr. Feld writes to the bank.
I suspect the $5 slabs are someone's "mistakes". Someone, likely a bulk submitter, going for a money coin (i.e. 67 higher depending on the...
Some more food for thought, if Dan was one of the TV coin retailers would that change our opinion on the topic? Be honest....

While I don't think it happened to the coin that is the subject of this thread, coins get uneven wear when they are bent -- even slightly. The...
I've never seen such a guide before, although there was a good post on PCGS a few years back that I'll try and dig up. Personally, I look for...
Congrats on your NEWPs. Nice 04-O.
