Luster requires direct lighting; avoiding washouts and even contrast requires indirect lighting. Bit of a conundrum. :)
Here, maybe? https://books.google.com/books?id=12AGAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false Page 28 mentions Proofs for Cromwell,...
I agree, but that makes iPen my brother in extremity. :D
Color has no bearing on a lightbox; you achieve appropriate color thru White Balance settings and can do that as easily in postprocessing as...
I hate to disagree, Insider, but MS70 is a product which discolors copper, and should never touch it. I do not look at copper with bluish toning...
When you post on an online forum, you grant a non-exclusive but non-revocable license for the forum to display your words. The moment you click...
Hey, if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself. :) Check this Forum for discussion of the use of Verdi-Care if you need; Bad Thad...
Wait as minute; what coin are you asking for grades on? I thought you posted the slab in Post #13 because that was your coin; now I don't know...
That should be well within the capabilities of Verdi-Care to fix, and worth saving as an early branch mint Lincoln.
That's why Jeffs are so popular to collect, Paddy. You can make it as hard (expensive) as you want with high-grade FS's, or darn near assemble the...

No, because you put the grade in the filename. :)
Well, this makes it plain you're an expert on hurtful words, so you have the right to judge.
Oh, yeah, just so you don't think I'm "brilliant," here's my secret for Early Dollars: http://www.earlydollars.org/wizardhome.htm :D
There's only one single 1802 variety with a right foot on the T in LIBERTY, and a non-overdated 2. That's B-5. This coin is not B-5; the star...
Um, not to be argumentative, but that is 100% incorrect. Weak strike and wear affect precisely the same high spots on each coin, and wear is more...
You have it right there. Demand is as important to value as rarity, and Jeffersons are widely collected. They're seemingly scarcer into the...
A collar clash, by definition, can't cover the entire circumference of a coin. The radius of the collar is too large.
Yeah, I love Google editing backups into whatever they feel it should look like. :rage:
