Rarity. It's reasonable to expect the majority of coins struck by a given die pair to have that "brilliant" lustrous finish you like - not that I...
What a hell of a post. Thank you; that makes mental gymnastics unnecessary.
Interesting point. This issue is out of scope for me, but I've noted similar - if less complex - detailing in the reeding of 1921 Morgans.
This. 1921 San Francisco Morgans were minted to the outside limit of die life. These "tails" on peripheral letters can be observed on other Morgan...
He is exactly the same person in meatspace as he is online (I characterize this as a warm endorsement), but somehow manages to project gravitas...
I can write html in Notepad. Probably got him covered myself. :P
Nobody would believe you if you made it up. :)
From many viewing angles, yes. You'll find them frequently listed on Ebay as 1928's, by sellers who didn't look just a little bit closer....
The mintage of 1923-P Peace Dollars was exceeded only by the 1922-P Peace and 1921-P Morgans; at 30 million struck they're among the most-produced...
So, how does only one face of a coin wear? :) Lovely pickup at melt.
She looks happy to me. :) Keep these images for the next time someone worries about the diameter of their Bust Half. They're a pretty good...
I have socks that are older than you. You haven't been doing anything for a "long time." :rolleyes:
No, thank you, I don't really want anything to do with SGS. :)
FR2 in a slab is a >$200 coin. I wouldn't touch this one with stolen money, but in truth the price wasn't an order of magnitude away from reality.
With just these images to go on, I can't say I'm really comfortable with PCGS' hallucination on the grade.
Go find a US counterfeiting law which does not specifically establish "intent to defraud" as a fundamental prerequisite for violation. That should...
Obviously, you're not in a position to lose a bunch of money, then, unlike many others who purchased SGS slabs based on the totally-inaccurate...
I'm not ready to rule out that possibility completely, because I've seen too few slag delaminations to have a feel for how they manifest. However,...
Then, none of the large number of strikethroughs plainly attributable to wood that you and I have both seen would be possible. Tell me, when a...
Important point there - TPG's are simply judging whether or not the toning is "market acceptable," not whether or not it's "natural" even though...
Separate names with a comma.
