I think that with a ten foot pile you'd find an elephant under it.
Hopefully it doesn't have a chocolate center. I hope it's real though.
My ADD sets. I started out with a plan to focus on only a couple sets and then something else catches my eye and I'm down a side road. My...

OK, I changed my angle to view it and now it looks raised. I retract my earlier comments and plead the fifth.
But if it was raised you wouldn't see the dark shadows like they are in the photo. Plus the texture of the metal inside the numbers is smooth;...
There's no doubt in my mind it's incused. The light source is to the top left. There are definitely shadows along the top and left edges...
#1 isn't genuine since the date is recessed into the planchet.
Circulated three cent nickels from the 1860's to early 1870's are common and inexpensive. You should be able to get a decent uncertified one for...
Some day he'll be in a slab.
Here's pics of one of proofs I have in my set. I still have a goal of completing both proof and business strike sets. Over the years I've had to...
Probably marked for car wash money laundering.
Once again, a nice post from you.
I would go with 63BN. There are enough contact marks on the cheek to keep it from a 64. The images aren't sharp enough to see more details.
I hit the PCGS one but failed terribly on NGC. That's the problem with high resolution photos. If I don't zoom in all of the examples look FS....
I gave 9 a FS designation. Several others were close. #2 had a mark on the 5th step, otherwise it would have 5 FS.
If they did they'd have to order the different alloy planchets. For us collectors, they'd probably double the price of proof sets and make even...
I trust the OP's opinion as well. He's been a knowledgeable resource to me on CT. Back to my comment earlier. I wonder what the experience...
I agree with most of your comments. I had a beautiful 1938-D Buffalo that came back Wheel Mark - Unc details. I thought it was a solid MS67;...
I agree with you on the absurd grades on the last 3. The two 64's are easily 65's and the 65, with all the marks should be 64 at best. With...
Separate names with a comma.
