Interesting article. It would be nice to incorporate some of Burdette's recent research into the article, but I don't have the time right now.
Which of the two sets of images do you like better, and why? They both show the coin well, but have a very different style and highlight very...
Ah, much better! Glad to see you've gotten rid of that sticky nonsense.
Read this link, it summarizes it well: http://coins.about.com/od/coingrading/tp/Grading-The-Color-Of-Copper-Coins.htm
Half the time, I call it a double die. I infer nothing. Its not a big deal to me. I infer a lot more from the rest of the post, the question being...
I agree, the marketplace here may be useful... but if these are high dollar coins, you may not get a whole lot of traction. Tom Reynolds is well...
Your pictures appear very yellow. If you have a whiter light, try that. Or, if you have the ability to adjust your white balance you could try...
Yes, that was definitely a reference to you. There was absolutely no "inference" in that first post of yours, as much as you try to backpedal....

Pricing a toned Morgan can be tricky. There are a lot of factors that go into it. I highly encourage you to read this link several times. When you...
Old ANACS used to designate PL on any coin that met their standards. Unfortunately, their standards weren't quite up to snuff. I've bought several...
Whatever, man. You have fun. You obviously know more than the rest of us. Enjoy.
To show you I'm not just blowing smoke (well, you've made up your mind. Let me rephrase: to educate the rest of the board): these are the only...
I don't see it. Not a single one of the details in the OP's coin matches the one you posted. There may be some doubling of the rays (are there...
I think the reverse might make G, but the obverse definitely doesn't have what it takes. I'd call the obverse AG-3. Since the obverse is...
While that may be true, there are certain colors and patterns that are red flags. They aren't commonly seen, or are common to coins that are known...
I think what they interpreted as wear, I interpreted as breaks in the toning (due to contact with an envelope, for example). In hand, is there...
