OK, good on you. Pupil has surpassed his teacher, time to aim higher with your buyer;) ** to his credit, at least he had your interests in mind....
You're going to need a super clear closeup if you want people to know what they're talking about. Right now too blurry to see.
That looks like toning from mint set cardboard or album. Some toners are nicer than others, but color (not dirt) doesn't affect the surface of the...
So, 1) You're saying your buyer's a ninny for not recognizing the old holder? Or 2) You really think this is a counterfeit? I still don't know...
What tipped him off? Did he simply run the cert number and get skunked, or was it something with the coin or the holder/stickering?
Very much like the reverse. Nice toning on obverse, though I like luster meself.
Though I like the more mirrored obverse of the 82-S, I'll take number one, please. The cameo is a babe, fields are pretty clean for a prooflike...
Drat, this is the closest show I've heard of yet and I've got to work all weekend. Poop. Anyhow, @Evan8, I find myself in the same position; spent...
Hey, thank you guys for your feedback! I'm very glad you see some potential with the 63';) I'll take photos of reflectivity and see how we do. It...
I'm getting a bit sick of getting skunked, too... I don't even have a really good reason to hunt halves. I don't even collect circulated coins...
Hey, coinman2, welcome aboard! Definitely post an obverse pic as well, so we can know the date and mintmark. Someone more knowledgeable will be...
Quite a difference between "Hey, I've got a nice proof coin!" to "Hey, I've got a high grading, CAM or DCAM proof." Do I get the cameos graded?...
We start with the reveal of the 5 extraordinarily clean, PCGS graded Morgans from last video, then compare them with same year and mintmark coins...
What grade would you give these beautiful Morgans? No tricks (they're in the 2nd video), just an eye training exercise and a bit of new papa...
Looking at some old proof and mint coins on my 27" Mac with my new 30$ Plugable USB microscope. Bigger and better your screen, bigger and better...
Busy week-I just unboxed a book of 8 proof sets; 1958-1965SMS, opened a 1962 proof set (pictured), broke out some more recent proof kennedy halves...
My latest box - Huge piles of 1971-D and 1974-D Kennedy halves to look through for errors, a couple of 80s error coins and a very well rendered...
Anybody else see die clash or something struck through on neck+lapel?
Really rich luster, creamy, looks edible. Unfortunate little gouges on obverse nose, neck, a bit in the hair, little something going on with "IN",...
Still has some really nice luster 'round the edges, I'd be tempted to say low MS. Otherwise, looks like someone was trying to put it to death via...
