This little coin has been in my collection for awhile. It is raw. When I first purchased it I attributed it as a F-117, Obverse 17, Reverse Q...
@kanga, I have tried Meguiar's PLASTX on slabs and it's OK but only seems to work well on very fine scratches (although it works well on my old...
Congratulations and welcome to the world of un-remunerated service. Thanks for taking it on.
Counterfeit. The Hoffman mule is usually rejected as a genuine coin for all the obvious reasons and this one should be too. Nevertheless, the...
I just noticed this thread, guess I was asleep. Anyway, here's three of mine.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks to everyone for their opinions and thoughts, and not just because most people are seeing what I see. I would value contrary opinions just...
There's nothing so gratifying as marrying up. Congratulations on your anniversary and winning the pairing lottery. My wife and I are in our 36th...
I have seen far worse examples than your first two coins straight-graded by all the TPGs. It seems to me, and I am no expert, that the TPGs are...
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... Whoops, this is Dickens and this post is to compare two draped bust quarters which might...

Here's mine. Again the common 1875-S. This was the first slabbed coin I bought when I re-entered numismania a few years ago. [ATTACH]

Those Jansjo LED lamps from Ikea have about a 2500K color to them. I bought three for coin photography and while they will work (you do have to...
I think the 1939 Oregon Trail got the green bean.
I'm going to be in the Williamburg, VA area for a week in late April/early May and at loose ends while the wife is pursuing her hobby (quilting)....
I agree with the grade but no bean. The reverse rim ding at K7 and the numerous small circulation hits and scratches on the obverse add to that...
I'm voting 53. In a more modern series I'd call it about a 40 to 45 but in this series the TPGs seem to me to be a bit more lenient.
I think it is a 64 and graded 65 does not deserve a green bean. Certainly, if I was in the Morgan market, I would not buy this coin at a 65 CAC...
When I'm at a show, I routinely make a sweep and take notes on coins I'm interested in, including TPG serial numbers and anything else I might...
58. Luster breaks on wreath & cheek and in obverse fields. I think I see hints of wear on the leaves of the obverse wreath. It looks like the...
