As much as I'd like to, I can't quite persuade myself to call this one MS64. We'll refer to it as 63+, or at least with a Star for the surfaces,...
All the same, what sticks in my mind (in addition to Doug's point, which is also valid) is that the coin appears to have a developed rim, implying...
I wonder what sort of effect intense heat has on a Zlincoln.
I remain unconvinced - as I mentioned in the other thread - that it was possible to strike this coin in one go. Obverse and reverse dies are not...
To be relevant for coins, a scale should have a resolution of 0.01g. There are coins for which 0.1g is outside the allowable weight tolerance,...

You didn't understand a word of what I wrote, I don't think, since you managed to hear me taking a swipe at the quality of TPG grading as a...
In these images, I don't see a single coin which looks like it hasn't circulated. Although there are examples of of 1958-D Lincolns worth $1000 or...

That remains one of the two or three greatest things I've ever seen on the Internet. :D From the standpoint of reputation amongst those who know,...
I guess, if you squint hard enough....my comments from the other 1851 thread also apply here.
I'll concede this one on sheer technical merit, especially considering the "failure to fill" weakness I mentioned elsewhere, but I still do not...
Separate names with a comma.
