Gotcha. In the future, just so you know, there are lots of highly experienced and extremely professional photographers here on the boards that...
I am not taking sides in this. But this is what I pictured when I read it ;) [IMG]
Yeah, this is exactly what I'm talking about. We don't need made up coin stories, because if you make up a story and show it on TV, then people...
Yeah, that didn't actually happen. It makes a nice story, and a great legend, but it is a myth. I hope that you do sufficient research in this...
@C-B-D Out of curiousity, what was your reasoning for submitting the Peace? What grade were you hoping for? I'm guessing 58 was not what you wanted.
While I agree that some coins are overgraded, this coin has *WAY* too much wear to get a 55, not to mention 58. If this coin were graded that...
I agree that the coin appears to have corrosion. If you were to submit this, there is a good chance it would come back with "environmental damage"...
45 is the right grade for this coin, I think. Remember that the obverse is usually the dominant grade. The reverse grades AU, but the obverse is...
I am at 65+. Too many marks on the bust for a 66. The luster is strong, and the strike is typical for 1963. These are hard to get in 66, and even...
I'm in the EF camp as well. The shield exhibits little wear - and neither do the reverse devices. If it were actually worn (and not a striking...
I certainly can't speak for anyone else here, but my most valuable coin accounts for 2-3% of my net worth, and I have a few of those (well, that's...
I personally don't spend time on the PCGS boards. In my mind, PCGS, NGC, and CoinTalk are the 3 major coin forums on the internet (in terms of...
Haha, the animation was brilliant. Of course, I am familiar with Rick Snow's website. Been there many times. But you'll also notice that there's...
Okay, tommy, that's what I thought you meant. Conder gave you a good explanation as to why that is a misconception.
I'm not sure what kind of album you are referring to, but many of them have to be pushed in. This requires your fingers contact the face of the...
It would be statistically impossible to have *exactly* the same pattern of lines from cleaning on two coins. You could have similar cleaning...
Is there a link to the pamphlet online somewhere? Or a transcript of his talk? Or a video?
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here? Could you explain what you mean? This doesn't sound like something that can happen, but I need to...
What's your favorite? I opened a 2011 Canon La-Gaffeliere this weekend, and it was superb, but I've also recently enjoyed a Pavie-Macquin. For...
I've heard it called a "buckled die" before, but I can't remember where I saw it. The die is failing internally, just as you mention, without...
Separate names with a comma.
