I don't want you to delete the thread. There's nothing wrong with the thread. There is some good information here. I want you to permanently mark...
Riding a bike and learning to drive are completely acceptable pursuits of time in common society. That's not a good analogy. Making a batch of...
Mark them somehow on the actual coin. Clearly indicate that they are AT. They might be your amusement now, but if they pass to some unsuspecting...
You made these? Why? I hope you plan on destroying them. You're verging on dangerous territory, here.
While you make some great points, the Great Silver Melt largely took place before TPG certification was commonplace. In the intervening years,...
Read it closely. He doesn't post here. He does post there.
There are several ways those colors could be generated - and all of them are artificial. These are disgusting and ridiculously cartoonish. They...
Looks like a crack to me. Die cracks are uncommon but not unknown on proofs.
No, this coin would not receive a DCAM grade. Toning does not affect the designation, but breaks in the cameo do. It appears that there is a shiny...
You won't find any others listed as key dates because there aren't any other key dates. For silver washingtons, key dates are 32D, 32S, and 36D....
It is very difficult to capture the PL fields in an image, but seeing how it plays under the light is more convincing. Take a look at this video:...

Based on the unnatural mix of blues and purples, I would have said artificially toned, MS-70'd, with 64 details. But the TPGs have been lenient on...
Ms means business strike (or Mint State). This is clearly a proof coin, which would be graded Pr or Pf. You've been here long enough to know that.
No proof Bust Half gets "pushed through." These are legitimately rare coins worth many tens of thousands of dollars. I would have thought that...
The star can also mean that the coin just missed the next higher designation. A * CAM could either mean "that is a CAMEO coin with extraordinary...
The pictures don't show the mirrors as well as I would like, but they are clear in hand. PL is defined as a clear, crisp reflection at least 2...
Uncirculated refers to a state of preservation, not their history of usage. If there is no visible wear, it is uncirculated - no matter how many...
Fantastic coin! Love the bright luster on it. While it is possible it is clashed, it is more likely you're seeing a "ghosting" effect. The...
The Star is only awarded by NGC, and signifies the coin has exceptional eye appeal or just barely misses the next higher designation. The Plus is...
