Those have been .... loved... a little bit more than I usually see the colonial aluminum issues. I only have 1 Togo coin, but I don't have a...
I haven't posted this one in a long time: [img] [img]
Oh. My. Gawsh. What does that piece of art grade? And where do I send the check.
Now Marauder, why do you have to be like that? What did I ever do to you?
I know I've posted this one before, its my only Peace dollar. This coin is currently with Bob, so better pics will be coming soon! [img] [img]
What I'm seeing on your coin is known as machine die doubling, or strike doubling. It is not a true doubled die, and carries zero premium - it is...
That is a good point, Duke, about the FS crowd, although most of the people collecting high grade Jeffs for Registry points are probably also...
I'm guessing the market for ducats is considerably smaller than the market for 1.) PCGS top pop coins 2.) toned coins 3.) nice Jeffersons. Getting...
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you had influenced the market to a small degree, Paul, but the toned market is larger than just these...
Where do you want me to start? I've got about 50 Franklins, maybe more. I guess I'll start with one I don't post very often, my only proof: (if...

"Speed up" toning is code-speak for "artificially tone" - or at the very least enhanced toning. This is a grey area, but the best toning is what...
I like your's a lot more than Frank's recent shilling. It is highly unusual, as you already recognize, to find them well centered, well struck,...
Yes, Chris, I just tried to upload pictures as attachments in my DMPL Sacagawea thread and it gave me a "fatal error". I just put them on...
I've had this one for a little while, but just now got around to taking pictures of it. Actually, I had forgotten about it and it got buried on my...
How does a cent clash with a $20 or $0.50? Do you have a thread where you discuss it so I can read more about it without sidetracking this one?
Looks like nice, subtle, original patina. A nice purchase.
These blue folders are affectionately known as "thumb-busters" for a reason. They key is to not try and push the coin directly straight down in...
Sounds like you have a great set, sparrow. Are they mostly all VF? When I do work on the Bust halves, I'm getting all EF coins. That's my favorite...
