I agree. Even on my indians I like brown and red-brown, better than red. If you like the natural red cents then collect them. I think it...
Neither - I would not waste my time trying to figure out which is "the least of two evils". You can always do a poll and include NNC, ACC, etc., etc.
Cool - I don't recall see one so smooth before.
Nice - would you have any pictures of the IHC's.
I saw that auction! Better than the auctions that say "rare 1866 nickel high grade" with a picture like that.
Could you clarify some for me - are you saying the industry takes into account weak strike and what I think is wrong(and maybe I should change how...

Here are my thoughts on "weak strike" - remember this only my opinion. First telling the difference between weak strike and wear is hard. It is...

Hmmm - more than some and less than others. My ballpark is really big. :) I believe he was asking how you value it not what it is worth. I use...
US Mint, Dealer(local and online), ebay - actually very few this year from Ebay.
I usually get a coin like this every time I go to Vegas. The only one I have seen for sure is at MGM.
Did you see there web site. Basically they state they do not use the same grading as others - I think they make it up. Stay away from them.
I saw the areas that you mention - to me it looks like the lighting with some dirt specs. The lighting make it look somewhat green. I would not...
