Tough to tell from the pictures. 1892: thought it has been cleaned but I'm liking the way its toning. 1909: you can see some luster around the...
This is a useless arguement. radars_teddy: if you want to clean your coins, or anyone else wants to clean their coins, then more power to you....
No, no, no, no. I think they are trying to kick start interest in stamp collecting again. They did this in the coin hobby with the state...
Auction was conducted by Heritage. I was able to win 2 coins from this weekends lots and many others here also won coins. Part III of the...
All the surfaces look cleaned to me. I agree with AU details: Improperly Cleaned
Nice find and pick-up. It looks to be EF45 to me.
Don't know exactly what that is, but it's not a U.S. coin. It might be a token. 1804 was a Draped Bust and the reverse had an eagle on it. [IMG]
I've purchased quite a lot from Heritage this year and have also noticed they started using stickers with adhesive that is not so "sticky"...
Great Roosie finds. Where did you get the Whitman?
Like hanging chads!

There does appear to be a small amount of wear on the cap. The fields in front of Liberties face look a little odd too. Maybe it's the lighting....
Well, I'm not one of them. I do believe you though. I can't believe the PCGS fervor on their message boards. You say something remotely bad...
1) Morgan; something about a silver $1 coin and the ties to the "wild west" 2) Walking Liberty Half: what more can be said about A. Weinman and...
Princeofwaldo, I agree with your assertion that most nice coins have already been sent in for grading; however, I don't think we all have an...
One can argue this is a contradiction. Metal oxidizes. It's a fact of life. So if you like them shiny, and that's perfectly fine with me, they...
This was only Part II of the Newman Collection. Part III goes on sale at Heritage in January. I picked up a Buffalo Nickel and 1892 Columbian...
Why did you revive this thread? In case of a nuclear war, I hope to be near the 1st strike cause it won't be pretty. Whatever happens to my...
