When did I offer an opinion about Ikes? I don't usually have the guts for that. :) If we assume the Philly coins are accurately graded - and I...
Cool, ain't it? :) When you think about how long it took - how much sheer handling - to get a coin that worn (how many Lowball Moderns do you...
I get the difference, and have as much fun with the latter as anyone else when I'm comfortable. But when you unintentionally antagonize people as...
I wasn't; I was only referring to the efficiency and capability with which they acted upon my reporting, and I was probably one of the....more...
I don't enjoy conflict, and don't understand how anyone can. It's not "fun." Bad enough that I'm fighting my own mind sometimes, just to keep...
If you can't keep a good show into the weekend for the public, you're obviously not in it for the public. You can't expect the "public" to take...
One which really needs to get planted.
Well, a grading set ought to be an issue known both for good strikes and commonality, especially since you should be taking it well into Mint...

Laminations are like, "Who cares if it's worth more? It's cool!" to me.
That's part of the "quick glance" targets I always hit when going through 1921's on Ebay. Cracks around the date and obverse rim - not forgetting...
I'm just back into Philly after the day in Baltimore, and decided to stay out for a while - the city is hopping after the beatdown Villanova stuck...
That reverse - those arrow fletches - were only used in 1921....
I can see the beveling at OF even on my phone. Nice snag!
That makes sense. The clarity of the remaining detail in the missing portion was throwing me.
Pro tip: you'll have a hard time finding toning like that on fields which have been rubbed in circulation, and fields rub before wear is visible...
I had no trouble with the process, and even a flawed system is better than none at all.
I'm in Baltimore - on my phone - and can't see enough date detail. But if it's 188x, it's counterfeit. That's either a 1921 or B1 (unlikely) set...
Look at the arrow fletches on the reverse, and think again about what this coin is.
