Thanks for the perspective, Denis. Very much appreciated. I guess I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I think you misunderstood my post, Blackberry. Your coins are beautiful. I think my point was, the vast majority of people would never submit...
Beautiful toning on that coin, don't get me wrong. I think the pictures are probably tailored to show the color at the expense of the sharpness....
I agree that a game token of some sort is likely. I do also see a bunch of random PMD that are most likely students in machine shop practicing....
That is a flipping cool octopus. Gonna have to be my vote!
The auction number is visible and it's public knowledge so I have nothing to hide.... I only spent $4162.50 with buyers fee on this piece. Help...
It's even purdier in hand.
Thanks man. Haven't had a chance to take my own photos of it yet which is why I hadn't shown it off... but P&G gave me no other choice ;) If you...
I guess I can drop this here... as you may know, PL double dimes are incredibly scarce. 20 cent pieces in general are rare, but they aren't widely...
In order to qualify as an off-center strike, part of the design must be cut off. This will only happen if the coin is broadstruck. None of the...
LOL at the MS-64 grade... absolutely covered in fingerprints! You better hope they conserved and stabilized that coin, otherwise it is going to be...
I have the books Roger Burdette wrote which describe in detail the processes, but I don't have access to them right now. However, he mentioned it...
The full shot doesn't really tell us anything. The closeups were fine. Don't worry about it.
Well Meow... The 1970S is cool because the machine doubling happened with a couple of chatters, which gives the triple effect... unfortunately it...
No, I sold it because it didn't really fit my collection. It was super cool, and I was glad to own it for a while, but my money was better used...
His last post was in August, so it seems he doesn't come around here very often any more. He might appear if summoned, depending on how he has his...
This varied widely from series to series. Some series have a shallow bowl shape (like the Morgan dollar), and some of them had much deeper...
I don't think you can generalize that all hammered coins were made a certain way. The techniques varied from civilization to civilization, through...
You know, I don't own a single proof coin. (I just realized, I do actually own one - an 1986 Statue of Liberty dollar). But I own an awful lot...
I have never in my life seen a textile toned Lincoln. That is wild. I've seen a few peace dollars with textile toning, but they are rare.
