Dingy toning is not atypical for a Maine. The PVC green goo, courtesy of the sleeve it was in, is not, and is likely what is killing the luster...
If it's crusted goo, then yes. If it's corrosion, cut bait. Doesn't look promising from here.
I'd really have to see the surfaces of the obverse better to be able to comment on the grade. 62PL seems plausible.
I'd be happy with your 91-O. Nice looking coin in a tougher grade. 89-CC VAM 4A doesn't exist, so you can ignore that one.
And so the joke about Sac dollars looking like Chuck E Cheese tokens back when they came out becomes funnier.
I imagine that somewhere there is a die-hard collector of these that could author a Whitman Red Book on the series.
Have you called customer service to point out this discrepancy in their pricing and how it affected you? They don't continually update pricing on...
Am I missing something here? This is clearly a sticker, does not mimic the PCGS label, makes no attempt to mimic the PCGS label, and is a practice...
I think the package you want for Python is Wand. I'm using bash scripts, myself, and some day I want to change to the C++ ImageMagick API to...
If you are able to reverse the mast of your tripod so that the camera hangs below, do it, as it will be far more stable and you won't have the...
This is a bit less standardized, more time consuming, and trickier. My process: 1. Position the coin under the camera. 2. Pick up the lights,...
Start by watching this video. You can skip stuff at the end about selecting a cheap camera. Then post pictures you're having problems with and...
That is correct. It has been effective at thwarting spambot registrations. Those real people that were inadvertently thwarted and were...
The grade seems right to me, but the pictures are a bit bright. Ignoring the PL part, it seems like a coin of average eye appeal and luster,...
I find myself pretty much in agreement with Skyman on this one. I hate most of the designs. Obverse 4/4A is the only one I'd call presentable,...
Strongest clashed E of the series. That becomes a tough one in XF-AU. They're usually found in F-VF. I can't tell from the pictures if it would...
I have no problem with the VG8 grade. I gave some benefit of the doubt saying VG10, but the differences between 8 and 10 are very slight. F12...
Might want to move this to the Ancients forum.
VG10. The wheat lines aren't quite fully separated on the right stalk and half of them are gone on the left.
There's a lot to look through. Many typeface no-nos -- stick to one font with subtle serifs. There are several I don't like, but that amounts to...
Separate names with a comma.
