Yea, he charges me $25 for any of the big 3 that I want. I should probably slab the one in my main collection instead though.....but I generally...
Just check Lange, it was the master die (not hub) that was sharpened....he makes no mention of the time frame.
You might be right....I don't know if I've ever heard that, but your research seems to back it. I'm not taking a chance on this one, but I'll...
Not sure it will be worth it. I pay a flat $25 for grading with my dealer and I went back and forth on this coin....thus the post. The raw one in...
Definately acid damage.
Sorry to hear that you must sell your collection. You can start by listing everything in the "for sale" section on CT. Good Luck
I think it's a beautiful piece of art!
NEVER clean coins....however, I do recommend a quick rinse with a high quality acetone prior to storage. This will remove any fresh (unseen)...
You knew what I was thinking! :)
Excellent find! Lucky you, I've never found one in many years of searching.
Agree 100%! Do NOT buy any raw coins period if you're not good at understanding what you're buying.

This woody is a TOUGH call, I can see 53-62....I might be better off to abstain. Hitting it will be a nice payoff, but missing it could be costly.
HAHAHAHA.....baha going 60 to minimize slider point damage! :D
I don't think the revese field hits would cost more than -4 pts.
Back to my normal one right, one wrong....tough hanging in there, some good scores lately.
Man, no luck this round, missed both by -1 pt.
