You know, that dime looks like it has some color that isn't showing in the pics. I REALLY REALLY like it! Looks like it came out of a Mint Set....
I would say that it most resembles a coin that has been struck through grease. Sometimes design elements can turn out markedly softer or...
That's right, folks! Lucky number 13 is here and available on the player on the right of this page, on iTunes, or at our website at...
now see, that bugs me. The biggest problem with cloudy proof coins was the Mint and not the storage after they were sold. There should be some...
while that is true, coinman, the value of learning to grade from pics comes in very handy when trying to assess coins that you want to buy on the...

Morgan - MS-62 Lots of bag marks but no wear Jefferson - MS-65 FS well worn dies Roosevelt - MS-66 nice mottled toning
yeah, Collector1966, I think Doug's right and it's too late. I appreciate it. I'll buy the coins that I want and look at sets to see if anything...
I am not looking for a cameo set per se. For example, I am looking specifically in the 1962 sets for a cent and a nickel. I am wondering if it is...

I have an interest in collecting ultra cameo coins of the pre-1964 era. I know that many of you (Doug especially) have gone through dozens if not...
Cameo surfaces have become commonplace on the US proof coins the mid-70s to the present day. Cameo proofs in the 1950s and 60s are quite a bit...
WTG Schatzy!!!!! I love the 1950s and early 60s Ultra Cameos!!!
unfortunately by this time many of those staples have toned some of the coins an ugly black in places. They are likely worth more sealed.
that's not what is generally meant by artifical toning, eyeeat. Artificial toning is any toning that was put on the coin through artificial means....
I'll tell you what as well... I once bought an unopened 1954 set and opened it to check. The staple was black and had left an unsightly black...
you know, Matt, there is also the possibility that the tone looks almost too good to be true? I dunno. I'm just throwing it out there.
Raider, if you think you've got last locked up, think again! LOL
You can't grade coins from pictures but I can!
