Matrix - I think what we witness is a combination of a devolution in learning exacerbated by genuine enthusiasm (this is a general observation not...
I think it's 1936P-1DO-002. Would be more valuable as an 001, but still a terrific find!!
To your point, that DDO is readily identifiable by the die scratches inside the crossbar of the T in Cent. Tucked so close, the T actually...
I use my iPhone (either a 5S or 6S) and a single ocular on my microscope for closeup shots. But frankly the LED lights are difficult to diffuse...
Both look good to me. Sharp, clear images that show the coins off well.
I agree with Chris, but the grease error on the tail of the 5 looks kind of like the tails of a couple of the Philly 1985 DDOs. Looking at...
On the dealer level, this makes particular, good sense. Even as a matter of a private sale, it's good advice if something out of the ordinary is...

Like others, I thought that an expensive camera would generate the 'best' pictures, and while they are very good, 'best' is subjective. More than...
You are correct. PMD.
Can you post pictures similar to Wexler's for this DDO? I'd like to see what's there.
Small. When the lower serif points downward, you have the Small MM. When the serif points up, it's the Large MM.
I haven't done a CRH event in perhaps a couple of years, but in that time I accumulated a pretty nice hoard of change. My wife cringes because I...
It’s a fun find Maria! One of many to come. One of my clients has a stamping operation. I’ve been around it for a few decades so it is nice to...
