This isn't like some big show coming to town where you hire in a bunch of extra manpower for the night. You either have the bandwidth and...
This is becoming downright amusing. :)
His work is one of the reasons we can look at certain toners - not all of them - and instantly pronounce them artificial. Some artificial toning...
Just imagine if the Pittman Act hadn't happened. MS65's would be melt-value coins. :)
It should also be noted that Doug Kurz (the man who assembled what he called the Sunnywood Collection) explored the toning process in excruciating...
As per usual habit, I pulled up the Heritage Auction Archive (if I'm online doing numismatics, the Heritage Archive is open in a tab, always),...
Missing that part is understandable in view of the wall of text I posted. :)
I've already attributed it, at the end of my post. Maybe in a baggie with a couple coppers and some fine dark clay (not completely dry) in the...
I'm assuming you want to save the coin as best you can, so we'll proceed as if it's PVC. It might not be. If that's active PVC, it's probably...
Nope; that's why he used the term "may have been exposed." Evidence (I use the term advisedly) exists that MS70 can, under certain circumstances,...
Y'all are only paying those ridiculous dealer prices because you choose to buy what they're selling. There are....quite a few....other coins out...

Where you located? I might know someone in the area, or close enough for shipping to be reasonable. I lack a bespoke axial lighting rig at the...
I get about 10Kbps at home; this thread takes 3-4 minutes to load when I'm not leeching Wifi. :) It's taken me two months so far to convince...
I'm severely limited by the lack of bandwidth in my Internet connection; otherwise I wouldn't mind wandering through the relevant VAMs looking for...
You are plainly having so much fun doing this numismatic thing that it's easy to be light-hearted in your threads. :)
OK, my forehead is bruised from beating it against things. :) The two obverse cracks are uncommon and ought to be strong hints, once they're...
You got that right. Looks like an itsy-bitsy die crack. You're gaining enough experience to start calling these Cents, Sheila. Doesn't say "One...
Meh. Doubtful it'll do much for what's on it, although it wouldn't hurt either way. I was astonished at what I was seeing in 63 & 64 slabs when...
I have a hard time reaching 65 for it, but I may just be biased. :)
