The procedure: -- get a pan of water deep enough to to cover your hand, palm up. -- put the coin on the tip of the index finger of your palm up...
Nice looking coins. The Japanese always seemed to have a feel for that. If the 1¥ coin is anything like the ones from the mid-60's it should float...
I live just outside of DC so a trip to the Smithsonian is quite easy. About 15-20 years ago I was walking through the "Castle" and got stopped...
I looked at it at 9x and I don't see anything. No RPM or DDO/DDR. All I saw is a small die crack on the reverse. If I remember I'll take to the...
Mostly AU's. I think #2 would be XF. #3 might be MS but the fingerprint probably puts it in the DETAILS category.
I agree with Treashunt. And proof coins CAN grade lower than 60. Plus I don't think Buffs came in reverse proofs.
Thanks for all of the kudos. I haven't dug out my Snow's guide so I don't have an S- number for it -- yet.
MFD was at the Central States show and found one of the two IHC's I'm missing. It's an 1889 PCGS MS-64 RD. I'm surprised it's Red since the coin...
Except for one Draped Bust for my type set I haven't gotten into that issue. I concentrated on the Classic Head Half Cents and completed a...
IMO that's the sort of thing (magnetic) that the Secret Service would be interested in. You could do a service to the US by contacting them.
IMO if you can push your limit to $200 you should be able to get one in Fine. And for comfort purposes I'd go with a slabbed coin; at least you'd...
I'm close enough (Wash, DC) to take AMTRAK. I wouldn't fly nor even drive. I'm not particularly interested in ANA's "World's Fair of Money". Been...
Extras!!! Wow!!! You've got some seriously nice coins there.
I'm slowly re-imaging my coins since I have a better camera and have improved my techniques. Just finished imaging all my Braided Hair Large...
Nice coin. The $1 coins generally cost more for the C Mint than do the other values. And the $5 coins tend to be the least expensive. Same for the...
I agree with the above. Question is, will it be Red or RB?
The image is a bit too small and out of focus to make a solid opinion.
Yep, excellent! "Just for fun" stuff allows you to sit back and enjoy.
I've reviewed what I consider a type set. Originally I based part of it on the NGC gold short type set (1834-1933). But when trying to finalize...
Oops, you are correct :-)
Separate names with a comma.
