Can you post pictures? Because I collect breathtakingly toned Lincoln cents, and I always want to see more. Here are some examples, which I...
This piece is really, really fake. It might be pewter or lead, but it is clearly fake.
It says right on the front: Republique D'Haiti
If you want a single book that covers all series, then the Encyclopedia of US Gold Coins is your best bet:...
That is a very odd position to take, and I wholeheartedly disagree with it. Color is EXTREMELY important. For closeup die variety photographs, I...
In the regular red, or the mega-red? I haven't actually seen the 2019 version yet, but if they added a bunch of stuff, then that is cool.
I don't want to revive this age old argument, because we've hashed and rehashed it more times than I can count. But the cent shown here has been...
I don't know what PCGS is smoking on this one. That's not a proof. It is not the right die variety for the proofs. If you want to read more, the...
I actually prefer split grading, where they give us a grade for both sides. So, this coin would be a G6/VG10. There really is no hard and fast...
I really wouldn't worry too much about VAMs. Many of them you literally need a microscope to see.... that doesn't seem enjoyable or desirable to...
I thought that was just understood. Sorry, forgot to use the /sarcasm tags again
2018 would be fine, or 2017. If you're buying it new, and intend to use it for a while, stick with the past couple of years. Especially if you are...
There is a minor distinction between die break and die crack. A die break is more severe. I'd call yours a die crack. These are quite common, but...
The 2019 version is out now, but you don't really need the newest edition. The 2018 will be cheaper. And, I highly recommend the Spiral Bound...
Best advice? Don't put a whole lot of time or effort into finding coins in your pocket change that are worth more than face value. Modern...
You want a 8x or 10x Hasting's Triplet Loupe if you are serious about it. These are the best, but they aren't cheap.
Weird that ICG and NGC both called these SP68, but PCGS is again being dumb and called it MS68. These are clearly a specimen strike, very...
The pictures are a bit hard to grade from, but that looks like a solid 64 with a shot at 65. My understanding is that most of these are lower...
I believe that anyone who has been in the hobby for a while understands that a forum like this is its own unique microcosm. You get a LOT of new...
I think the Obverse is a G-6. There is just not enough feather detail to call that VG. However, I think the reverse is a solid VG-10 - quite a bit...
Separate names with a comma.
