Did y'all actually watch the video? He's not brushing the coin or holding the coin with his thumb. He's waving his finger over it to show the...
Ooh, look at you with the jokes ;)
Very cool, and definitely PL. The reverse is a little weaker, but I still think it makes it. The 70D is quite common in PL, but the 69D is still...
Between Philadelphia and Denver, they minted 1.6 Billion of the bicentennial quarter. They are worth 25 cents as well. You don't see many of...
I'll take $775.

They are worth 25 cents ;)

All I've got are these prooflike examples.... And yes, the reverse of the 80D displays full deep cameo contrast. It's like nothing you've ever...
It doesn't look cleaned. It looks "shiny" next to the other one because the D is a low grade coin. The S is a higher grade and still shows luster....
I can imagine a lot of things. Expecting it to ever actually happen, however.... I highly encourage you to try to attend a major national show....
Extremely polished. If you look at the rim, you can also see damage from where jewelry mounts probably were. I think your initial instinct of...
The ANA has a fairly lengthy list of dealers: https://www.money.org/find-a-dealer
