....which is because of demand, another complete intangible subject to the whims of the collecting world. If a major discovery in your Proof niche...
Scanning is fine, within what it can do. It cannot show luster or any information about the originality of the coin's surfaces, but it's pretty...
You're missing the intangibles which change with every auction, based solely on the audience for that specific auction and where numismatics...
I hope this doesn't come out sounding offensive, but thirty seconds looking genuine ones up with Google would have made the comical differences...
This is going to sound outlandish, but there's a completely non-numismatic factor which anyone currently contemplating a "hold" scenario of over a...
Your images aren't terrible right now; get your subjects out of their enclosures to image them and they'll be even better. Also, always orient...
Don't forget, brown copper is the result of an oxidation process, and a decent vacuum pack where no oxygen is present will halt things right where...

Oh, I'm up to it if there are scribbles and the images are good enough, but it's not for the faint of heart or a less-obsessive personality. If...
Don't get me wrong - there is no chance I'd turn down the opportunity to own that coin if I had the money and the price was right. :D 1880-S and...
I've never met her - that's a goal for this trip - but my only acquisition agenda for the show will be Brown Lincolns and one stop at her table...
It looks to have taken an abrasion of some sort which exposed "clean" copper - you can see artifacts of the same contact on the cheek and beard....
