The photo is very flat, yes. In hand, the reverse has very natural looking cartwheel luster, while the obverse has luster behind the head but...
I edited the eBay picture by eye to try to match the color in hand. [ATTACH] If this orange-yellow was toned down a bit, that would be ideal. So,...
Let's see if we can get back on track - we can use my example. I bought raw coins online. Before I bought, I copied the images from eBay to...
I have five Lincoln cents that I bought from two dealers. I took them, among others, to a very experienced copper expert. He immediately set them...
I now have an overall shot of the reverse set. The cent is not well lit. It is a shiny coppery red with a zone of ruby toning over the vertical...
I have mixed feelings about grading this set. If one of the TPG's could replicate the 5-coin capsule so they stay together, I would, because I do...

Do you have something to offer that no one else sees? Perhaps a career is waiting to be invented by you. What can you find in these forums, for...
Appreciated that you made this available for us to see. I really enjoyed it.

Doh! And here I have been wrestling with those darned staples!
I don't intend to hijack any thread, but I have another commonality. Here I have the same coin, year, mint, seller, and grade. I thought some...
And don't do me the favor of cleaning it after you do.
I have written a "what to do" document for my wife. I also suggested Great Collections. It seems appropriate for my collection. Some is slabbed,...
