Living three miles from the Mint, I tend to get the new Philly issues rather quickly in circulation. :)
Some of us have to work.... McCloskey 3B, I think, maybe AU50 if adjudicated original surfaces. The shots aren't in focus, but I think I can see...
When you're on the main page of one of the subforums - note the screenshot below - the "Start Thread" button is at the upper right, as I've...
Fair enough. :)
Agreed; their grading is one thing I've never objected to. This one's downright conservative, in my mind.
What you're doing is considered spamming, and extremely impolite. You don't just drop random unrelated pics of unrelated coins into someone else's...
My thoughts? Never dip a circulated coin. The result of this experiment won't pass a casual first glance at a TPG, unfortunately. Your only hope...

Well, let's just say that scratch through the head is the only thing keeping me from making this one disappear off your site the moment it appears. :)
It's simple - the spots in the 8113 labeled "Proof" correspond to the years San Francisco has issued them only in Proof - they start in 1971....
