That coin does not have Fine details; I would call it VG-10 details. The rim bump hurts it (yes, a rim bump of that severity absolutely hurts...
Interesting.... how do they distinguish "machine doubling" from "double struck"? Because I would call this machine doubling, and wouldn't pay a...
Your description of a "numismatist" is actually an advanced collector. A numismatist is one who studies and researches (with the focus on new...
I don't think you need a study to prove common sense. Boomers were born between 1946 - 1964, meaning they are 54 to 72 years old. You look around...
Coin collectors and numismatists are two separate things. You can be either, or both. Many numismatists are not collectors, many collectors are...
They were first identified in the 1970's. Nobody knows when or by whom they were made. (reading the thread below, looks like I was mistaken about...
Wow, that is a really old album. Very cool!
There were apparently up to 20,000 of these made. They were so perfect that the only reason they were detected was because there was suddenly more...

Alright man, there's no more point arguing. It is clear that neither of us is going to convince the other. You take your 61 quarter, I'll take the...
I searched the Heritage archives for Star graded Peace dollars (figured that would be the easiest way to get some of the nicest toners.) I...
All of your obverse shots still have those lines. I guess it must be the laser etching. Wow, that looks really, really bad.
TC, be honest now. You can't really compare the putrid shades of your AT'd coin to the vibrant hues of the Morgan. And, as you seem to be...
I cannot believe I ever would have said the 61 Quarter even closely resembled NT. Those colors are completely wrong. If you can find the post...
How long will it take for an average penny from 2018 to be worth over 100 dollars? Absolutely never. Take, for example, the coinage of Rome -...
I just answered in your other thread ;)
The coin hobby generally tends to be an older population. You'll hear an awful lot of people telling you that the hobby isn't getting any...
