What You Need To Know about the Type II Reverse Franklin... .... And quite a bit you didn't. by Jason Poe There is an interesting variety...
Correct. Both of my wins were second place. I'm really disappointed that TOTW is broken, because that was one of my favorite features of this website.
I still find Cherrypicking to be an enjoyable and profitable pasttime on Ebay. If you know what you are doing, there are numerous deals to be had....
Well, I came to this party a bit late - but I was going to say that the 5 definitely looked like true doubling to me. You see some evidence of...
Its damage, sorry.
This coin is beautiful, and comes with classic 1958 mint set toning. Unfortunately, its also a beast to photograph. So I was forced to try...

There are die polish lines scattered lightly across both faces of the coin. The surfaces have some light speckly toning (you can see it best on...
Again, the 1 is a scratch on the slab. Believe me, this coin is very nice.
By all means, leave them up! I want as many people to post their MADs as can, so that anyone who views this will get a very good idea of what they...
Can you not see pics? That's weird, they all show up for me. Here, let me try something different and let me know if you see them.
Major congratulations on finishing your set. Do you have it posted online somewhere, like a registry, so we can see the whole thing? The Buff set...
