This one wasn't so easy for me. I think it is O-107, based on the obverse which I believe to be obverse 5. However, the reverse doesn't seem to...
Here is another one, from PCGS photograde I think I have attributed. Pretty easy one, I see a very key characteristic. It appears that the...
I don't quite collect them yet, but I have long aspired to. I got my first capped bust half as a love token, for less than 10 dollars at the...
Well, maybe eventually I will buy that one too.
Lovely!! I will be practicing more using other coins from PCGS that are not attributed. This way I can get experience I can bring into the real world!
I see. Also, does this mean that recent purchases from the CCP mint are even more sub-par than we already knew they were? :rolleyes:
From the article: "While the gold remained above broader industry standards, the report estimated up to 100 tonnes of gold sent to Shanghai Gold...
WHAT? hahahahah, that is among the craziest and most delusional claims I've seen in this hobby.
Hey all! Last week I needed some (online) retail therapy and purchased the fifth edition of the Overton listings. Not sure if another one is in...
By the time you get to the store it will be devalued all over again. :)
I love dark coins, or 'desert' patination. However, I've seen plenty of desert patinas that appear to be applied afterward to 'improve' the appeal...
I would say an AU-55 or AU-58, which I find preferable to anything below MS63. However, I don't collect these quarters. Never have.
Wonderful piece of history or a sad reminder of economic turmoil? I say it is both. Thanks for sharing. A lot of people collect these, but I've...
Sorry, just looks like a damaged rim to me.
Nicadate is the only solution that will help. Maybe try taking a rubbing with paper and a soft-lead pencil. Unlikely to get anything but would...
It's not a liquid! Its a great many pieces of solid matter that form a hard floor like surface!
I see lines on the left coin that seem to change direction, not radiate from the center as one would expect with flow lines. I also believe that...
I am not a drinker either, too young :) The microscope can be useful, but I would say use a loupe first. 5x is good, but 10x may be useful if you...
Sorry, not this time. The doubling is very flat, especially on the date and mintmark, indicating that this is die deterioration or Machine...
And by the way... I keep all of the red 1960s and 1970s cents I find in change. They don't come up often, so these are definite keepers.
