Yea I've looked through the trial strikes, patterns, and restrikes lists and the only one I found there was the one renamed from KM456 to TS23. I...
I appreciate the help but those two are EH#s not KM#s. Those aren't the missing coins.
I've been working on a Hungarian type set from KM440-KM500, but I've got quite a few gaps where there are missing KM numbers. It's my...
Here's an 1831 Large Letters small capped bust quarter B-5 variety with a repunched date. [IMG] When adding the date to the obverse die the 1...
Yup. Cheap too. I originally tried a D80 but it doesn't support video and you can't do a live preview. The D90 can. I'm not sure how much of a...
Here's a new pickup for the Hungarian type set I've been working on: Uncirculated Hungarian Types of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867-1922)....
What I do when I take a shot is position the height of the camera, focus, then take a test shot to check the lighting, and make lighting...
Thanks. Well I had been photographing coins with a cheaper setup for the better part of a year, but I quickly hit a plateau due to the limitations...

Here's the setup I use: Beseler CS-14 Copy Stand Kit (includes 2 lamps and adjustable arms) 2x Promaster 1712 30 Watt 5500K Fluorescent Bulbs...
I largely ignore CAC coins at dealers because I just assume the price will be inflated. I can already see if I agree with the grade or not by...
Yea I agree with the above. Details on all but the 1853-2 and that one looks like a VF. The 45s are environmental damage, the 53 red is cleaned.
Here's an 1876 NGC MS61 seated quarter I picked up over the weekend for my type set. I've never really cared much for the look of Lady Liberty on...
I've had that happen a few times. Once I got the coin in hand and liked it I stopped caring where it was shipped from. I suppose if you had to...
It's a great time to buy gold coins if you have numismatic interest in owning them, but if you're just interested in the bullion value, it may be...
I'll probably stop in at Hagerstown and/or Frederick on Saturday.
That's a Bolivian Carolus IIII 8R Potosi PJ. 1808 was the last year of striking as later that year they transitioned to the Ferdinand armored...
A couple degrees off is okay, but when it gets to 15 degrees or more I think it detracts from the value. The TPGS should offer a realignment...

Here's the other commemorative from my Uncirculated Hungarian Types of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867-1918) type set. I picked it up about...
