I was joking with Sir Messy that I'm probably the only person on the planet that would be disappointed if this turned out to be a Proof, instead...
Eh, I'm ok with a $15 education. What would you grade these pieces?
So I did. How'd I do? I picked these two because my church group just finished a study of Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, and I thought it...
Really not even sure what you are trying to say anymore, as the first sentence of the article you posted says ""There's a sucker born every...
No, I mean PT Barnum. Hannum allegedly made the comment you are referring to when talking about Barnum.
Well, Messydesk has done it again. This guy is a wizard with a camera! Take a look at his pics below. He also attributed it for me, and after...
Well, good for you, I guess. But dang, I'd call that seriously overgraded... just my opinion. Even with these different pics, that one tops out at...

For too long, really. It's all marketing hype, and too many suckers have fallen for PT Barnum's bait.
Might be a good topic for another thread.
There is an easy way to prove it, of course. If there is scrap metal attached, or a piece of a die attached, the coin will weigh more than normal....
Ah, I see. I always take pics before I send to NGC, for 2 reasons. 1. It is vastly easier to take a good picture of a raw coin than one in a slab....
Lets just say the odds are strongly in my favor. Millions of coins have die chips..... none (that I know of) has ever had a "piece of the die...
You don't have to post the slabs, just show us the coins! I'm really curious to see the coins you thought deserved stars, but which didn't get...
Separate names with a comma.
