Looks AU58. Give my prize to a YN if one enters.
I've told Ron Landis that he should have made an 1834 capped bust dollar and an 1834 classic head bust $10 to properly "finish" those proof sets,...
The 9 just got mashed a bit by something. Not sure how, but that's all it is.
Mailed in envelopes with the coins wrapped in tissue. Remember there weren't the same mail destroying sorting machines then as there are now.
Right. I guess I meant to say highly saturated.
Yep. It would be nice if all TPGs would adopt this, but I'm sure PCGS has it buried in IP barriers that would force their competitors to pay them...

A super-saturated baking soda solution, then rinse thoroughly.
This is how I see it, too. He's a skilled technician. Straight copies of original designs he does well. Some of his inanimate object designs...

There's a 2-hour Morgan dollar video in their collection that I did with Michael Fey in 2020. It's a very condensed version of the 22 hour Summer...
Interesting. The first sentence is a little ambiguous. Is Viinamarisaar a "fantasy land located as a small island" and island that doesn't exist...

I'll conclude my run of British Trade Dollars with my only sample from the 1930s. The two most common dates, 1930 and 1930-B, are not in my...
And it didn't occur to the Mint (yes, I know, Congress) to issue a commemorative with a blurry design and no luster?
Not true unless you buy counterfeit ones. James Sego has been heading up QA-check since about 2015-16. They're put on modern series that are...
In this case, they are. It's VAM 3. Some of the strongest doubling of any US coin.
