Oops, haha, I didn't even realize the post was ancient. The poster before me necroposted and I just replied to the thread. Does @JCro57 still post...
Yeah, nails and blanks are just ridiculous. I'm glad we agree on that!
Very nice! I have the UNC version, you appear to have the proof. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Mint Error Uncirculated. That's the grade it should get.
No!
That doesn't look like a dime planchet to me.... Is it a dime planchet missing cladding on both sides, or is it a dime sized punch from a Lincoln...
Strike: Not great, not terrible. 64 - 66 range. Luster: Pretty good in these images, but it shows signs of weakness. It is not full and blazing...
If you think there is wear, you need to guess an AU grade (58) or lower. By definition, MS grades have no wear.
Is that first one the piedfort (double thick) or is it the regular issue? Very cool. If you aren't aware, that is the French companion piece to...

Yes, that chemical is on the top shelf, right next to the one that removes the spots from ASE's ;) Nope. Doesn't exist. Generally, if it's going...
Complete what collections? There are not that many collectors of Modern Commems, and these will absolutely never be part of any official Morgan...
@rmpsrpms , this is why you are the Batman Cointalk needs, but not the Batman Cointalk deserves.
Acetone would remove any organic contaminants, but the toning is not going to be affected. I also think the diminished luster was present before...
64? Wow, that's a little lower than I would have expected. I think even at 65, this would probably still get a gold CAC.
Do you think there is wear or not? If you think there is wear, the highest this could grade is AU-58+. The MS grades are only awarded to coins...
I don't see any wear immediately evident (the brown color comes from long contact with the album). In hand, rotating under the light, there might...
As a collector I greatly respect, can you explain why you love the idea?
