I love looking at early San Francisco Morgans. Fiendish strikes and great luster. :) Kinda dinged up but I think she's still worth a 63.
VAM-2A, I think. Technical detail looks MS64 and very likely PL, but insufficient proof of the latter, of course. It's darn near impossible to...
Ain't the first time my neuroses have interfered with reality. :)
Well, if the chosen modification was to use the St Gaudens reverse, I'd be on board. :) Heck, it wouldn't suck if they used that obverse too. :)
$400. Pony up that much, and I'll show you a rig capable of anything from full slabs to microscopic detail, at professional quality.
What would you change about the single most beautiful issue the US has ever designed?
It has the appearance of a genuine coin, horribly overgraded and possibly cleaned, in a garbage "slab." The single most common Morgan outside the...
Yeah, and it seems a tad thick for just the copper plating to have laminated. Interesting coin.
The software is free with Canon dSLR's....of course, that doesn't help if you don't own one. :)
Well, like I said, I'm out of my competence here and more in learning mode than teaching mode. :)
Fascinating. Given the number of 1922-P's with collar clashes, I'm surprised yours hasn't gotten more attention. It's an "abnormal" location -...
An acidic environment would explain the surface porosity, but not the extra metal near the rim. I wonder if maybe this is a laminated edge which...
Did we by some chance meet at Winter FUN a couple years ago (2013) without me knowing? :)
My only worry about Tupperware is the inability to evacuate the air from them; I envision (yes, I'm paranoid; doesn't mean they're not out to get...
This is actually one place where the law kind of makes sense (in one sense :) ). Our goal with coin imaging is the most accurate possible...
Here's the basics: 1) Coin and camera lens plane perfectly parallel and solidly stable. Macro photography involves very shallow depth of field,...
For an 1890-CC - these had a high survival rate in my anecdotal experience, and are easily found in circulated condition - $90 is excessive for a...
You're right 99 times out of 100 here, but how often do we see counterstamped gold? I'm out of my competence here so I'm not sure but I don't...
Pretty darn cool. :) Not so rare that this will be the only one we see this year - or maybe even this month - but all the same a coin this far...
You nitpicked him on his nick and then blocked him when he called you out? On the subject of blocking, I won't be seeing any more of your posts....
