This is the kind of thing I was talking about, above. In many cases, nobody is more surprised than the miscreant when they get themselves into...
That's because it's more difficult to believe it's PMD than it is as-struck. :) My initial impression is of two different materials being...
1. I go everywhere I can think of to search for coins. Ebay has the exact same problem with coins as it does watches, and worse. Counterfeits, of...
I wouldn't presume to decide how much value you personally assign to toning, but you'd be paying double the usual retail for it. Assuming it's a...
This is an issue so common you can afford to wait for someone selling it much cheaper than that. Any value above melt for a well-worn 1900-O...
UNC (United Numismatic Crackheads) will pay for the defense.
Post it as often as you like. You don't have to qualify it as a "semi-key;" it's an animal all on its' own and I'd go into debt to own one similar. :)
Straight to the wingtips and forehead hair on Barber Quarters to start considering wear. I don't think the blob at 12:00 comes off "clean;" I...

Contemplate the direction of the lighting against the "jamming" we're discussing. The coin is lit from about 9:30 or 10:00 - a little above...
Well, the O/O is so plain and strong that it's clearly visible in Justin's full-face images - you can easily see the curve inside the O and the...
Best way to learn. :) Trust me on this, I have a lot of experience learning this way. :)
And that's the relevant point. This is the language numismatics uses to describe this feature. Doesn't matter if that term is used with a slightly...
There's an Ebay seller by that name with a long record (since 2003) of successful sales of really nice ($Hundreds and into 4 figures per coin)...
Quite the opposite; I can't count how many coins with verdigris I've seen in slabs from both. Verdigris generally develops along a broader...
This. It's well-preserved, maybe formerly in someone's collection, but that's what they're supposed to look like when lightly circulated. It just...
And we wonder why people buy from television coin hucksters. Well, here's your answer.
Separate names with a comma.
