Dave's not here, man. And I'm a third-grader by comparison to rmpsrpms, from whom I've learned 75% of what I know today. From a technical...
What are you on about? The coin in question here is a $38 Cent, and the thread I referenced is in this Forum (which is why I used the term...
You should go look at the "Got Wood?" thread. There are apparently some surprises in it for you. :) The coin he bid on is damaged. The coin he...
Yes, yours appears similar. I think it's just an odd manifestation of delamination. Here's a 100% crop of the image above; it gives a better idea...
"You should see the other guy."
If you've already acquired it, and wish to continue posting online, you will have every chance to wear it out posting it in humor. It's the gift...

The woodgrain is as faded as the die pair was by the time this one was struck. I thought it appropriate. :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Now *that's* something you don't normally see in a 1921. Terrific coin! :) Here's the only really pleasing toner I ever came across, and I bought...
This one fascinates me. The striations aren't just woodgrain; they're in the planchet: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There's another; I'm gonna bump the...

Although the idea of "common guy" gold is excellent, I think you'll strangle yourself by offering it without imagery. That will exclude all but...
I bet it doesn't have Sunnywood's reverse. :) And yeah, 65 or better was a prerequisite for the collection; no doubt he couldn't find a better...
