If you know what you are looking for, PL is pretty obvious whether it is in plastic or not. Depending on the date, there are plenty of borderline...
Not surprised by the 1902. The purple/red/blue this coin shows looks an awful lot like MS-70 treatment, and JA will not sticker one of those.
I don't seem to be able to find the threads you mention. Could you provide links? Or photographs? Or names of people we can contact who may have...
Ok, those are some promising links to some abstracts which may prove informative, but the abstracts alone don't help anyone. Have any of you...
1964 Kennedies were stored in a wide range of holders. That gives them a wider than usual range of natural toning patterns and colors. While you...
My first reaction was that it looked ok, but then I started looking more. With the EORs, or the ATs that are supposed to look like EORs, what I...
Definitely sounds like they were glued. I recently inherited a dozen blue folders from my Grandpa when he passed. He had been working on them...

A dollar. Mabye a little bit more.

Scanners are nearly useless for coin pictures. They just cannot capture the luster of a coin. A magnifying glass is not necessary for pictures -...
I have attended a few of your lectures at the FUN show on counterfeit identification. I learned a great deal, and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Do be sure to take quality before and after pictures, to record this momentous occasion for posterity.
Congrats! Those are some pretty cool error coins!
@Insider , there are a lot of good points in that post above. I really am glad you are here (and that you have restrained your emojis ;) :P )
