Not as much as buying an 1835 N-7 misattributed as an N-19 would.
I'll go with that, as well. I was using the Noyes middle date book. N-7 and N-16 seemed very close to each other, with just some subtle...
If I were to collect the AGEs, I'd probably just get the proof 1 oz. coins in PR69 holders. The premium for the 70 grade, where it exists,...
I assume "exceedingly minute" means unmeasurably small (within epsilon of 0), otherwise you could tell on one of those hand-held XRF machines.
No better than before.
The 1835 is pretty mangled. I'm leaning toward N-16, but N-7 or 17 also seem possible.
PCGS was the last to start adding VAM numbers to slabs, ANACS was the first. I can't remember when PCGS started, but it was some time after the...
Were the coins put in new? Do they show toning that's been stenciled by the printing on the bound in page?
Looks like VAM 5A. Far date, partial clashed 'G' in front of Liberty's neck. Interesting in that you have two clashes that are slightly out of...
Another thing to keep in mind is that an XF45 is a choice XF coin, while an AU50 can be a bit of a dog, yet AU. You have to grade these by...
B&H is a good company to work with, so that's not going to be a junk lens, although there may be some cosmetic issues. They have a good return...
I don't doubt the new payment processor sucks. That's the case with probably every change eBay has made since the beginning of time. I just find...
That's just a FAQ on managed payments, nothing spelling out any plan eBay has to force all sellers into that platform. They have a long time to...
Yes. That's the f4 lens I have. There's also an f2.8 lens they made. You can find both on eBay as well as used at camera shops. The f2.8 lens...
So the only source for this is a thread started three months ago by a single person on eBay's discussion forum, was not corroborated by eBay, and...
In that case, I'd recommend the manual focus AI-s lens. The auto-focus without the VR is sort of a white elephant of 105 Micro-Nikkors. It is...
No need. It's right here. It's a presentation I did at FUN in 2011. Some info is about choosing a cheap camera, and is therefore outdated, but...
Unfortunately, I don't have one of these coins to play with, so I'll have you do something that sounds absurd, but might work. Take a white piece...
Manual focus 105/4 Micro-Nikkor. I used one with my D80 all the time. You should be able to get a decent one (no haze or fungus on glass) on...
The two LED lights you cite are sufficient. No need to switch to halogen, as that will just generate a lot of extra heat. Keep the camera...
