I gave up trying to differentiate between "degrees of flatness" on the reverse of wreath-type Seated minors long ago, and therefore pretty much...
It's simple - the supply-demand equation. Sufficient demand overcomes ready supply. See: 1909-S VDB Lincoln, which although minted in low quantity...
It's not "amateur images," it's digital photography in general. In fact, the better you get at imaging, the worse the marks look compared to...
My only disagreement with your rant - which was otherwise kinda pleasurable to read :) - is that the only way to get numismatics wholly onboard...
I'm seeing an easy 65 and 66 isn't out of the question, if my impression of the "black" marks on the upper cheek is correct. The curved one...
I would *dearly* love to see video of this. :)
You owe me two keyboards now. :P I gotta quit browsing this place on my lunch break. People just gave me strange looks.

Cool. I was just worried since I couldn't firmly call it a Type I Obverse from the images, and the wear seemed heavier on the rims than in the...
It opened today. I'll be there Saturday. Don't recall if John mentioned making it.
Then why did you ask "where is the lightener?" My head is spinning. First the VAM thread, now this. Think I'm done for the night.
That's what I thought my coin was, broken up from an Uncirculated set. Great Britain were past masters at the minting process long before then,...
You're the chemist. How do you reduce copper oxide? :)
It's only been 18 minutes since I answered that.
No doubt; there's too much anecdotal evidence that slabs are sufficient protection (in most cases) to keep Reds from turning. My main concern is...
An obtuse question. If they tone so easily, how do so many get into Red slabs?
Separate names with a comma.
