Not really. The 1903 is the only O mint Morgan struck 1900 and later that is known for being well struck. There are several O mint Morgans struck...
Typically, it's not that the toning has worn off, but rather that the toning never occurred in those places because the luster was worn off in...
Yeah, I do Michael. You are after all the one who made me aware of it years ago ;)
Actually it's very easy, almost beyond easy, to stand the coins on edge on a towel and lean up against the back splash of the counter top.
To resist burglary it's not the bolts so much as it is the strength of the material that surrounds the bolts. Even a $50 safe you can buy at...
As said already, distilled water is what you want to use - not tap water. And never use soap. What wasn't said is that you only soak the coins...
I agree as well, the second pics show what the first did not. As for it being variety 1-0-1 or 2-0-1, that is too hard to distinguish based on the...
Try looking here - http://www.amsecusa.com/home/ I've owned an Amsec safe for many years. Very well made, 2 hr fire rating, and a good burglary...

Looks like a Philadelphia derringer to me.
I don't see anything wrong with it, looks like a nice AU coin to me. Personally I'd grade it 55, it just has bit too much wear on the reverse to...
I'd bet my last dollar that's not PVC residue on those coins. But your point is still valid, corrosion is contagious to other coins too. But they...
There is no way to say one way or the other just from looking at the picture.
TaborTot - Simply put the coins are covered with corrosion. And as Jim said, while you can get it off by using an acid or alkali , there is no...
Not sure why you think that's a striking error, or even what a striking error might be. But I'd say the coin is AU50, not enough luster to justify...
Yeah Dave, I think the TPGs have plenty of uses. And, as I have said countless times, they are without a doubt the single best thing that ever...
It might be toning, or it might not. Many Morgans are known for being "frosty", that could explain what you describe as a weird whitish film. But...
Apparently what you don't realize is that many auctions on Heritage and Stacks have reserve prices set by the consignor. If that reserve is not...
OK, who can tell me what US coins were not legal tender even though they were minted and released into circulation by the US Mint, and when they...
What constitutes a variety, and what constitutes an error, is a battle that has been going on among numismatists for generations and will still be...
Separate names with a comma.
