Why are they called "knife" coins?
Ok, while I get the concern of exposing what we collect to the general public I also find that because of those concerns no one but me ever sees...
One of the stars of my 1840 Mint collection. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Toothpaste works very nicely - and will remove scratches too. Toothpaste is a good polish to use on anything that might be sensitive to...
Recently obtained. Coin is as good in hand as in pics. I like when the toning is even between sides [ATTACH]
Ahh, that's helpful. I can see that. It has luster, but not extremely. The only coin I have to compare it to is an MS64 Morgan that's also...
So, hmm - back to the original coin (attached here) a question - I have this in hand now and it is just as good as the pictures, maybe a little...

Here's an example - an MS62 coin I've recently purchased but haven't had in hand yet. I was willing to pay a premium over the auction and price...
