For that much money I wouldn't touch it unless it were slabbed by one of the two biggies.
If it's there then, of course, I have to retract my comment.
Nice looking fake/counterfeit. What put me on to that was the lack of the letters PCGS as part of the front of the slab on the lower right. And of...
Like I said WAY back when I started posting my type set, the gold set is based on the NGC short Registry Set for US gold business strikes (new...
Last of my type set. 1852 Liberty Head/No Motto NGC AU-53 [IMG] [IMG] 1870-S Liberty Head/Motto/TWENTY D. NGC XF-45 [IMG] [IMG] 1888...
Welcome to the club. Been there; done that. And done that. And done that. Etc.
MS as you would expect a 70-D to be. But too many bag marks on the obverse to be Gem. IMO at best it's MS-63 (but -64 wouldn't surprise me too much).
Somewhere along the line I forgot to complete showing my type set. Here's my gold eagles. Next time I'll complete the set with the Double Eagles....

Not quite true. A quick look through a 3x loupe can uncover fine abrasive cleaning.
Know what you intent is. Make a shopping list BUT keep it VERY short and of low value. Leave you checkbook at home. Take just enough money to...
Mouse!? I'm missing something.
I need a sharper closeup to decide.
Hawaii? with bears?
I use f11 but if there is a scratch or two on the slab, AF will focus on them rather than the coin. The scratches will be much more prominent.
Since all of my coins are in slabs I have found that autofocus does NOT do the job. The camera focuses on the slab's surface rather than the...
I've got one -- for my type set. It's an 1806 PCGS VF-35 CAC Don't know the Browning Number. I don't ever expect to get a 1796 unless I win the...
Nice die crack on the reverse.
