Those are a couple of them, but its far more extensive than that. Look at the toning above her foot. Around star 1. Around the top of her head....
I wouldn't call them errors. They are die states.
Yes.
Probably natural, but this is retoning after a dip.
Well dang. There's something you don't see every day. Could you tell us about more about your favorite pieces? Where are they from? When are...
Sorry, @Collecting Nut , I realize I might have gone a little overboard. I don't understand why people like counterstamps, but you apparently...
Metal foil and baking soda? The thoughts of those touching my coins gives me shivers. But I'm curious - if this works, why is it working? What...

Over and over again, every single professional grader will tell you, not a single one of them wears gloves. Doesn't matter NGC, PCGS, ICG, ANACS -...
Yes. That is *precisely* what happened. Sometimes, an AU-58 is a really premium example and deserves a higher price. So it gets bumped to a higher...
Yeah, I know its tough to tell a friend they've got a fake. Especially when they're excited about it and convinced that it's going to be really...
I do like crude pieces, I think they have a certain innate charm. I especially like the crude engraved details, such as all the extra bits on the...
