The Ducat is close enough. It looks like it all but kills the luster, however you can see there's some there. I think I'd use a camera for that...
Well, it wasn't really a question, I just wanted to see a couple of other images. The only problem with your tilting technique is that the top...
Can you scan a MS63+ Morgan with tons of luster? Maybe a Proof ASE as well? See questions in other thread.
What you have to keep in mind with macro (and telephoto) photography is that you are magnifying the image. Thus, even small movements are...
When looking for an actual commerative silver buffalo (2001) I almost got caught by that. Sad thing is, I've seen even pretty reputable dealers...
What exactly is "vented" (per the directions posted above)? Crack the door of the over 1/2 inch? Or just the normal oven venting? I have an...
That would be good advice if one could step into their time machine and go back to 1963 and buy them from the mint directly.
I'm considering picking these up, even considering replacing my DSLR with it, if it can do the job, but may I ask why (if it has interchangable...
It's a 6.1 megapixel camera that can focus down to 5 cm in macro mode. I saw a picture of a flower (bottom of the round navigator), but I'm not...
Macro might do it (really, it should), and then you'd crop the image. If I pull out ~600x800 piece, you get the image below (same image, just...
I do agree with adelv_unegv, and if you're not going to be shooting many coins, then you should just get one that does everything you want it to...
So what you're saying is that it's nothing and I could sell it on ebay for $500... ;) :D
Ahhh, you missed a post by Speedy recently where he had some that he was getting rid of. I bought one from him, just so I could put it in a...
Well, the only thing I question about the hammering is that how would it leave the building essentially fine, and only flatten the inner metal?...
So I was going through a bunch of coins, and I'm not sure where this came from. The year makes me think it was mixed in with some large dollars I...
Here's a picture of (IMHO) the best one (1882). This one isn't cleaned. Some are this sharp, but unnaturally shiny (which might be attributed to...
Yeah, I say cleaned but mostly they're circulated and maybe years and years and years ago, someone rubbed them with their fingers or a cloth....
Someone at work gave me (to examine) a bunch of silver dollars and I didn't see anythign fantastic, but them again this isn't my area, so is there...
For the two way double lettering (not just doubled), first wave seemed to go for $400 to almost $600. Then ~$250 after that, and I haven't...
I've given, but never gotten. That's non-circular circulation.
