Newest member of my coin family. This is number 40 of my basic set of 61 (66% complete). [IMG]
Great album if you collect your type set (or any set) raw. I see only one drawback. You are letting IS define what your type set is. The nice...
I use a Nikkor 60mm macro lens with my Nikon D90. No, it's not as good as the 105mm but will cover you for most cases. And it's a lot less...
Oh, good! The first coin I looked at (1921-S) and I'm already ripping the paper off the walls. I think(?) it's the most common (1921-S VAM 1)....
This will be my third attempt. Since I now have experience ID'ing Capped Bust half dime die marriages, hopefully I'll do better this time with my...
Does the Van Allen/Mallis (4th Edition) contain all of the "discovered" varieties up to that time? Or does it only include the more interesting...
Alas, I think not. Costs me about $150 to go. I'll hold off until the Nov Whitman show in Balto. About the only thing I'll be doing until...
I've been picking up odds and ends along the way but this is the first GOOD one in a while. [IMG] This is my 39th IHC.
1. Take the coin out of the 2x2. 2. Down-size the image to no more than screen size. 3. Needs a lot better focus (but you know that). Some of...
I tend towards a misaligned die. They weren't perfectly parallel to each other hence that area didn't strike up completely. BOTTOM LINE: No...
I just started collecting small-sized $1 notes. I know I need at least the "Medium Size" currency sleeves (6½" x 3"). The ones that came with...
Charmy, looks like you're not going to be at the Philly Whitman show. What about Balto in Nov?
I believe you have to pay to get in on Thursday.
Looks like the Penny Lady is not going to be there. So our usual gathering place is out. Other ideas for a location? As for time I suggest...
I'm still waffling about going. Costs me about $150 (Amtrak, cab, etc.) At my age I don't like trying to drive and park in a city I don't know....
Since I enjoy participating in NGC Registry Sets, coins in "Details" or "Genuine" slabs don't do me much good. BOTTOM LINE: I either get graded...
No opinion. I have 2 potential difficulties with your image: 1. Looks like it was scanned OR if a camera was used, the lighting setup was not...
No Latvian coins, but I do have a "rock". To me it's pertified (agatized?) wood. To those in the know it's araucarioxylon arizonicum: [IMG]
Interesting. So once a coin slides down into the bin, anything that happens there is post-Mint. Those dings caused by a reeded edge to a coin...
Or maybe we have to consider collectible damage vs. detrimental damage.
