Sounds reasonable, thanks for the information, always nice to learn something new. BTW, I'm not sure if the hair detail is there, but it looks...
The strike quality was really poor to begin with, even MS coins look XF. There are a few MS red coins that look fairly horrendous. They command...
How would the hair detail be under the strike through? It would have had to happen between the first and second strike of the proof. I'm not...
I was wondering how long it was going to take.
Can you also get a shot of the reverse of the coin adjacent to the mark on the front.
I can't say what caused it, but I can see the detail of the hair within the divot. Sorry to say I think it was caused after the coin left the...
This is a very Ruben-like thread...just sayin'
There's a nice silver lining. I have to admit, my other 1902 is a PR-65 and this PR-63 looks much nicer. There is a very good reason why I'm a...

I suspect it would have a tiny effect, but undetectable due to the fact that the coins themselves have a weight tolerance that would hide the...

I sure am glad that we didn't have to see any clad Franklins.
I thought acetone was harmful to copper? Maybe verdi-care or something along those lines.
I've been told that I am overly strict before, I just grade based on what grade I would buy a coin for. It is the reason that I disagree with...
Very nice. It's been a while since I graded any IHCs but here goes. 1867 XF-45 1871 F-15 1872 F-15 1881 AU-50 1886 AU-53 1894 AU-50
Thanks for the info, I learned something today.
I guess I could just search it out, but I have you experts around for that. I don't really do modern coins, so, what is this variety and what is...
Maybe, but I've seen MS-64 that don't look that good. Most of the bag marks are very light brushes on your coin as opposed to the heavy...
Those are gorgeous Greg. What kind of album were they in?
Just got wood with this little beauty... [ATTACH]
