Yeah, I had your remarks in mind when I penned that reply. I learned from you on that one. Going forward when the occasion arises I'll be more...
I'm not 100% sure it's been deliberately cleaned, and let me know if you ever see a Morgan, any Morgan, for that little money again. :) At this...
It couldn't be possible to find anything better-suited to the collector who now owns it. Just_plain_cool. :D
Your coin has a resemblance to the listed one, but keep in mind this would be one single die having produced them. The mint mark of your coin is...
That's cool; I have one of those too. :) Yours is in far better shape. [ATTACH]
I would guess the coin was judged "market-acceptable" as an EF40, the irregularities being attributed to "normal" circulation exposures to the...
That's entirely fair. There's a huge difference between the initial basnining of a die (@Electron John, keep in mind that dies are generally not...
I'm hardly an expert but I've looked at a bunch of them over the years since I enjoy attributing them when they appear in these pages. :) Although...
Although I don't believe it the culprit in this case, lacquering coins (using shellac) as a preservative used to be common practice in the hobby...
Well-bought, then. I think your coin clearly superior to the two MS63's in Heritage's archive, the one for its' much weaker reverse strike and the...
I propose we designate a new category of Mint die treatment, called Die Abrading, to explain the abundant examples of coins showing crisscross die...
I've a soft spot in my heart for Reeded Edge Bust Halves. There was apparently a steep learning curve for the new steam-driven presses, resulting...
Thank you very, very much. An attribution is only as accurate as the available information. :)
A Paypal Echeck is a known and valid thing, used by those Paypal account holders who choose not to have a backup option to enable Instant...
Good Golly, man. If you were a dealer, I'd just be signing my paychecks over to you. The VDB and 1910-S are killer.
You're killing me, Bob. :P
It seems identical to the feature on the plate coin at VAMworld, which is all most of us have to go on as an attribution aid, although Leroy's...
With the darkest toning now on the devices instead of the fields, I believe "market acceptable" left on the last train.
The pair of angled images give the impression that there's a coating of lacquer or something on it, but none of the other pairs do. I feel that...
I still haven't managed to "see" it as incuse yet, even though I usually can. Look at it from a different standpoint: Both sides of the coin would...
