It's a really interesting VAM because of the sheer size of the gouge, but not one which would carry a premium except slabbed in a grade which...
No, I haven't. Yes, I would.
Remember, originality is key. Citric acid is an excellent cleaner, except....you don't "clean" coins. You conserve them when intervention is the...
The other thing to remember is: A) The "adverse reaction" requires the presence of both water and direct sunlight to happen, and B) The sole...
The best beer on the planet will not return that much value for $22. :D
Yes, but they're not always subject to the complete - and individual - coverage of flat album pages during their storage life. Some are partially...
I feel this to be true, but it is absolutely one of the nicest AU Lincolns anyone will ever see. Quality is not cheap, and I could personally...
Sitting in an album, a coin tones from the outside in since the sulfur source is the cardboard of the album. There isn't much atmosphere present...
Yes, this is obverse and reverse of the same coin and yes, it was under $50. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Absolutely zero chance of it being real. Omegaraptor offered the most obvious clue, which is in Morgan terms described as a "Far Date." All 1893-S...

Keep in mind, minimum focus distance is with the camera zoomed all the way out. That distance will increase as the zoom is increased, and although...
What you "do" with it is know, and make more informed and price wise purchases in the future. And you get to start answering a lot more questions...
Yes, that'll work. The halfway push causes the camera to autofocus, and finishing the push trips the shutter. If you have the delay set, it will...
OK, with a minimum of 4" you *ought* to be able to make the camera give you decent shots; lighting at that distance will be more of a problem than...
I wouldn't be surprised to find that number on the slab here.
That is standard procedure for shooting coins, with any camera. What's the minimum focusing distance for your camera?
Yet another stash of found coins given a catchy name to imply some sort of additional worth. "Uncirculated" is what you call coins which are...
I'll bring it tomorrow. Different lighting: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The obverse is such a weak strike I would not be surprised if the TPG felt the need to constrain it to 64. The colors are bright and varied enough...
