Sometimes a coin sells as part of a lot, let’s say at Heritage as an example. The price guide will show the lot’s price and a link to the auction....
I wanted to be able to see all the feathers without spending a fortune. This is my only one, but it satisfied my needs. Can we imagine it’s...
My first foray into the 1880s Indian Head cents. It's raw. I paid MS62 money for it, but the strike, coloring, and proof-like fields make me think...
I do like the picture very much! You conveyed the way the mirror surface gently curves and affects the light reflection. You also show the texture...
MS 67 because eye appeal is outstanding.
I have two more, slightly more subtle, but fun observations. 4. Look closely at the faint lines on the top coin. These dies are workhorses that...

I don't know for sure, but it looks like it might be an irregularity in the planchet that created some surface roughness, which then toned at a...
Based on the explanation Chris linked to, this must be the area of hairlines that they judged to be a wheel mark. They point out that the effect...
I just bought an UNC DETAILS (Obverse Wheel Mark) 1930 Lincoln Cent. The auction listing at David Lawrence started at $10 and listed an expected...
Love the color. Nice.
If I win do I get to keep it? B. I like the superior detail. The jaw has a smooth strike without the residual planchet marks that are so common....
