As I've say before, I'm going to the great beyond with my collection intact. I enjoy my coins; I enjoy trying to find them; I enjoy showing them...
When I spot something that catches my interest IF it's possible I wait as long as possible before buying. I want that first rush of adrenaline to...
I won't be but MFD will. Hoping he finds another IHC for me. Only need 3 more.
I see what appears to be many bag marks (rubs). IMO MS-63, maybe -64. And my understanding is that you don't get PL attribution form only one side...
I have an NGC Registry gold type set (the short one; no designs issued before 1834). It's complete. Of course that means they are all slabbed....
Asking is simple; finding one is difficult. I have been putting together a matched set of silver Roosevelt dimes in MS-66 FT (or FB). This is the...
Probably not. Generally the rotation needs to be 90° or more before a premium kicks in.
If I recall correctly a short set of WL's is considered 1941-1947. I personally prefer a matched set (all slabbed at the same grade). But I don't...
My Guess: Someone put it in their piggy bank years ago and has only recently cashed it in.
Yeh. I made a BIG mistake not noticing the DDO attributes. They certainly have the value.
By just the date IMO "no", the grades aren't high enough. But if the die variety is rarer, then possibly "yes". You're looking for about a catalog...
I'm in the Wash, DC area so LOTS of tourists and LOTS of coins turning over quickly.
With a 150mm macro lens I would not expect depth of field to be a problem. I've got a 60mm Nikkor macro (they call it micro) and I DO have to...
IMO that counts (sort of). I look at it like buying a 2014 car in Sept/Oct 2013. Or January magazines coming out in November. But it's still a...
It might be of interest to report 2014 dated coins as you encounter them. It could give us a clue as to when and where they are hitting...
A tripod is good to use for steadiness. But I prefer a camera stand. For me tripods always cause difficulties. There is ALWAYS a leg in the way,...
Two good observations made here: -- Manual focus: Override autofocus. Particularly important with slabbed coins. -- Vibration: I do two things:...
rlm, very nice. A woodie with some rainbow toning. A bit unusual.
I strongly lean towards blast white. But that quarter of jom's is very appealing.
Thanks. Exactly the info I was after. I'm currently working on a Red Book date/variety set of Braided Hair large cents but didn't know which 1839...
