Got a few questions: 1. Why do you want to purchase this coin? 2. Can you show us an un-stamped version for comparison? 3. Is the counterstamp...
Same reason car models are a year ahead. Marketing.
Haha, that might be true. At least, nobody has guessed what PCGS called it ;)
No, spectacular does not mean artificial ;) The key things I look for when determining natural toning: 1. Pull-Away toning. 2. Elevation...
Wow! Makes me wish I'd bought an F-VF when they first came out! I thought the prices were ridiculous and would go down. Proved me wrong, didn't they?

Maybe? Surface contamination may still be present. Given what I'm seeing, it is unlikely, but it seems to have been in an acidic environment. The...
The reverse of the 35 dime is absolutely killer.
Unfortunately... everywhere. When you see a black nickel like this, the immediate and first response is environmental damage. Look at the...
Well, its another weekend. So here's another rainbow toned Capped Bust Half! (I can't keep this up forever, just a few more left to get caught...
