I don't understand why you can't see that is plainly untrue to the naked eye in the unaltered detail images I posted above.
I've owned a couple of the previous "LDS" versions - 1H3 - and this one differs at the point of the neck. 1H3's rim involvement there is a...
Zlincolns are the best argument for bringing back lacquer.
If we assume it's a raised MM, compliments must be paid to the dexterity of the craftsman who created it. All the same, a line drawn through the...
It's hard to tell either way, really. We don't know how square the OP's camera was to the coin, and in macro shooting the slightest tilt distorts...
Even the circulated ones? :) On a more serious note, a cautious numismatist suspects every coin before, say, 1950 or so which looks "new."...
We knew about it, Leroy has now had it and officially designated it. That's why I waited until now to post it, for Leroy to make it official....
A little greater due diligence than images of that resolution is required. When placed "horizontally," - if we define "horizontal" using the...
Not sure why, but there's very little which can happen to a Bustie that I won't like anyway. :)
Inarguable, and anyone who can continue putting up with moderating after this long deserves a measure of respect whether you like the guy or not. :)
OK. Now I have to begin wondering if it's real at all, then. Assuming these aren't artifacts of the imaging process, the numeral alignments in the...
Fascinating. Do you have the ability to get an accurate weight? My first impression is an encrustation, which ought to increase the weight. Plenty...
The dark area I noted is what I think could be the source of metal from which a mint mark was raised from the existing planchet.
As some may know, I'm a little freaky on 1921 Morgans. They get very little respect, given their massive mintages, but they abound with...
Bozarth is a solid seller. Given baseball21's observation, I'm giving them a pass on the apparent color but all the same it's not a coin which...
Stand by, relooking and rethinking.... Edit the Second: Looks so; their scanner's white balance is off and that threw me. That makes surface...
Can't say I'm enthusiastic about either. I believe the NGC coin overgraded, and the PCGS coin to lack original surfaces. Entry-level toning after...
You shoulda seen my eyes the moment I found that place. They were the size of saucers, and I heard angels singing. :D
If the implication wasn't there that these are all images of the same coin at the same time, I would believe they were before and after images of...
And just like a stock broker, it ain't a bad gig if you can get it. :)
Separate names with a comma.
