I am meaning legitimate coins, not these modern MS-69 ASEs.
Fresh to me isn't something that has been off the market for a lot of years. It is something that has its original skin, whether it is toned or...
Is it from a reputable maker? I am very picky about my loupes, and I go for quality over gimmicky add-ons. I usually stick to Bausch and Lomb.
I looked for a good example from the first year of issue. The only exception was the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter. I went with a 1917 Type I....

I picked up the set of 5 oz. Silver rounds with the designs of Art Nouveau designer Alfons Mucha. I picked up the set of numbered 5 oz. antiqued...

I have a small mint and engrave dies, and I love to see designs that were thought out when the rim denticles are used to enhance the design. This...

I would also add that if needed, you could send the ANACS coins to PCGS for cross-over grading. ANACS has a good batting average for going over...
I wouldn't think you would have a lot of 4X4 types in Philly. I worked for a lab owned by Lancaster Labs a few lifetimes ago and got to go out to...
It looks like it was a die that had worked overtime and should have been retired about 50,000 strike earlier. The area between the date gets...
A bit nit-picky, especially for people not involved in the hobby. But the message is understood by those working on the press. It probably should...
2.268 is close to the ASW of 2.25 grams.
A Troy ounce is 31.1 grams, not 28.35 - those are Avoirdupois ounces they measure lead and feathers in.

That's not a Falcon... that's a rocket with feathers! Ford did make some hotrod Falcons in late '64. They're called Mustangs. Chevy had some...
Separate names with a comma.
