I agree with matt even though the pics aren't the best. What year/mint?
Mint State, even though there's lots of contact marks, it's still MS. 1968 was the last year for the 1916 master hub so these are typically very...
Looks nice to me!
Me too! NICE COINS!!!!!
Looks 65RD to me.
Lighting, extremely important, not only in type, but distance and angle. I use a nice desk lamp with a flexible arm and rotating head. Distance...

Thanks for the post Lance. That was a lot of fun! The 20 cent deception was surprizing! I agree with Rick on the IHC, the TPG's are crazy and I...
Right on, that's part of the challenge....finding high grade coins. These aren't much better than the biz coins for spots and contact marks.
That would be a miracle! LOL I had to buy multiples and select from among them because many of these are dinged and spotted. These are relatively...
