For prooflike coins, you often have to treat them as you would proof coins. Try some of the proof coin techniques mentioned in that article. As...
No idea what the rattler says (maybe 65?). Today, I could see this at 66+ (I think if this were a lock 67, it would have been cracked and...
I could support a Treaty of Versailles commem (and honestly, I'm surprised there isn't one being released this year). That is an even worthy of...
Can you explain what you find interesting about it, and why you consider it to be one of the best modern (whatever that means) coins produced?
1. How do you define "modern"? 2. Are we talking US only, or foreign as well? Regular issue, or NCLT? Bullion or no? Give us some parameters.
I've no idea of the attribution, but if it is an R-5 that is great! The condition is quite rough, of course, with a significantly porous coin and...

This is a dumb idea, but I'm sure people would eat it up.
Photographing this type of coin without a proper setup is incredibly difficult. Certain lighting situations, such as natural light on a cloudy...
Hoo, boy, that is an understatement. Just you come to the Paris of the South, I'll show you what we have here. BBQ? Shrimp? Grits? Shrimp and...
Nah, man. The OP is significantly underlit. It shows "the coin", but not nearly enough to really see the coin. For grading, the second pics are...
Sheesh, the lighting in these pics makes it impossible to give a confident grade. I'll guess somewhere between 65 and 67, and probably CAM....
For the record, I'm not opposed to scientific research. I think that's the best way to figure out what the AT'ers are doing. As a chemist, you are...
Maybe? Maybe not? Depends on what you did to the coins. You could dip them and remove the toning, you could make a mark on them, you could...
