I'm late to the party, but I wanted to say that is a very nice EOR.
It's hard to see in the small pictures, but I think there is enough bridging on the steps to preclude a FS grade. It is an above average strike...
Congrats on the score, even if she has a bit of damage. Finding an R-5 is always cool! The best I have are a couple of R-4+.
Finding an attractive 39O is not an easy task. I've seen very few of these toned - even if it is secondary toning after a cleaning. Usually the...
That first one is very nice. I like it!
These are cool little coins, and yours appear to have aged quite well. Nice set!

While I agree with the idea that the most detracting problem should be listed, if there are 2 major problems then I want to see them both....
Why do we need more baseball coins? Does anyone care? Those stupid domed coins are ridiculous. I suppose if we must have more baseball coins,...
Do you mean kowtowing? And yes, I think the Mint had a few debacles in recent memory, and they are trying to rectify that. The Kennedy fiasco at...
