These are factors you should consider. However, what it *does* have is a 5MP sensor as opposed to the 2MP sensor of the other camera. This is of...
All I can say is, the OP has proven his numismatic geek cred to the most stringent of standards. I stand in salute of a man for whom paper note...
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but that Morgan - to me - shows noticeable circulation wear. An Uncirculated coin would not reflect light...
Yeah, kinda. Surfaces that "clean" with a little bit of wear make me nervous.
Decent XF, probably not quite 45, but I suspect the originality of the surfaces based on these images. Labeling it "Uncirculated" would serve to...
All the above. Anything. Whatever. I'm a pixel hunter, not an error guy; it just comes out looking that way. :D
There isn't a chance I could keep my hands off those coins. They'd be under the lens of my camera within minutes of arriving at my desk. :)
That, right there. Moreover, what happens if you successfully remove the encrustation? You're left with exposed surfaces which didn't age at the...
How about the folks who looked at the coin in hand - as mentioned on the last page - and agreed? And you realize PCGS only performs these tests on...
That makes three of us. :)
Probably so, if only as a guarantee of authenticity. It's tough to assign a value to a coin which appears so rarely - Heritage has only 8 records...
What to do? This is numismatics. Start a collection. :) What are the bands like on that 1945-P?
If forced to guess - and a baseless guess it would be - I'd think perhaps 25% of Mint State issues aside Morgans, and maybe half of Morgans (kept...
OK, fair. In this case, though, I cannot imagine - if we assume the green wasn't PVC, on which you and I will have to disagree :) - any reason...
If it wasn't PVC, then it didn't need conservation at all. Doug, would you ever advise someone to dip a circulated coin?
Money well spent, to my mind.
How much of the original "color" was PVC?
I searched my very soul and couldn't come up with anything to dislike about that coin, Todd. :) Not a clue about grade, though. I can't yet look...
Better than even odds they cracked it in the first place.
Agreed on that. It's 64 all day to me, and a 65 which probably wouldn't Bean.
