I'm behind on taking photos of some of my newer varieties, but I've got a date set up on the NGC registry here. I should be able to get to #2 once...
Glad to see my old 1837 B-3 has a good home. This is a great set. Are you going to work on upgrades next? By the way, the 1834 B-2 in your set...

I have the same experience. I think the eagle reverse Washingtons are the most fun to collect out of those series. I'm love looking through my...
Yea I picked up an MS62 ANACS Morgan not long ago that graded MS64+ at NGC. Not sure what ANACS is thinking sometimes.
Thanks, the WWI iron issues and WWII iron and especially zinc issues were very difficult to find in problem free MS grades for my type set. Sent...
Here's one of many examples where they got it wrong the first time. It does happen. On the first submission, this coin got a details grade for...
I would suggest taking a close look at the coin when you get it back to see if there is merit in their assessment. If you still feel they are...
I had an eBay discount for hitting a rating of 750 and some leftover eBay bucks, so I used them to pick up a nice Hungarian pattern. Hungary 2...

You could use a foam ring as an insert. Something like the rings that come with ring air tites. You'd just need to find the right size.
Here are some examples where I've upgraded from RB to BN for eye appeal/grade. 63RB to 65BN [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 65RB (top pop) to 65BN [ATTACH]...
What if there was no significant premium for a red example?
OH those are not die gouges, those are shield bar clash marks by the ear. That's present on a lot of the varieties in many years in this series,...
If you're talking about obverse die cracks, there aren't any that are significant for 1834s except for the B-1 post remarriage. The B-3 and B-5...
It depends on the size for me. For larger copper coins my favorite looks are fully brown with colorful toning or fully brown with a glossy blue...
That's a good point as well. I have some fully red gems from the late 1800s that I keep in a low moisture environment and slabbed, so hopefully...
All I see is this when I look at a low grade walker. [ATTACH] I think once you see it you just can't unsee it. I have an MS66 type coin with a...
For those that collect copper, do you prefer a higher grade example or one with more red? What kind of a tradeoff would you need to have in order...
I think walkers look ugly in lower circulated grades. The obverse ends up looking like a plain column with a tripod at the bottom. Ugly. SLQs...
