Lacquer, maybe. Doesn't dampen my enthusiasm. :)
Nicely bought, just at the EF grade after which this issue skyrockets in price. It's been fifteen years since one better than MS63 has appeared at...
I should have said (thought I wrote) 4 other signers aside Franklin: Francis Hopkinson, Joseph Hewes, George Ross and Dr. Benjamin Rush. In...
That's a strike pressure artifact/failure to fill, though. Look at the skritchiness on the obverse shoulder opposite that point - to my mind those...
Link still works for me. Are you on Mobile? Ebay can be wonky for me sometimes on Android/Chrome.
This is funny, in view of your comment on C-B-D's off-center IHC. That's the seller he got it from. :) I don't think the PVC on this coin has...
He got that one on Ebay, like most of his scores. You just have to look at thousands of coins a week, just like he does.
For the record, Chrome has more than 50% of the browser market all on its' own. All forms of IE combined (including Edge) are another third :)...
Yes, it is. :) PCGS, at one point, would not offer the "+" designation at all on certain submission tiers. It is obviously, therefore, something...
Well, I received my email confirmation of acceptance to attend today. It's not a "panel discussion in front of an audience" thing, every attendee...

This. It's not that complicated. Technical merit of the given grade, but above-average eye appeal (maybe one side PL, near-cameo, toning, etc.)...
They're a good idea to collect, but not so hot to sell for the same reason....accessibility. PCGS alone has almost 62,000 of them in MS64 alone....
Quite agreed. It's still one of the nicest Walkers I've been privileged to see. :)
I'm inclined to agree - doesn't seem like a ton of wear on that face, just discoloration.
Well, that's about the only thing wrong with this one. :) I actually considered a strike-limited 65 if it Beaned - this one's weak enough on the...
Not if you're sending it to me. Just don't expect the same in return. :P
Threads like this are my very_favorite_thing to read in numismatic fora. They're how I learn new issues, expanding my knowledge into areas I might...
I laughed so hard I almost passed out.
The strategy: Become an expert at both the coins you seek and interpreting images of them (it'll help if you become a pro-level coin photographer...
