The major difference between the original topic and your experience being, the value of the former cannot be justified and the value of the latter...
He shoots, he scores. Big ol' variety premium for this one. :)
The optical characteristics of the slab were an advantage here - the plastic simply disappeared in your images. I had to assume it was slabbed...
It may be just the photography, but I'm seeing enough general "bagginess" - marks in sufficient number to make one wonder - to have doubts whether...
I'm not one for often advocating grease as the culprit when devices are only partially obscured, as is the date in the OP coin. You have to assume...
The beauty of accurate, high-res imagery - for those who have had experience of their own shooting that way - is the small hints which appear...

I don't disagree that it's an unfortunate nickname, but I don't see how numismatics is challenged to its' roots by the fact. Especially when it's...
I suppose we ought to also deprecate the 1888-O "Hot Lips" because it misappropriated a nickname from M*A*S*H. Talk about a tempest in a teapot.
Nope, no luck.
It cannot be put more plainly than that. :) "Here, I have this Zlincoln with Atmosphere Effect from laying by the side of the road for twenty...
It's a neat unintended consequence (for numismatics) of the process which enables the Mint to produce coins with mintages in the hozillions. That...
