As others have said (and I found out by testing), axial lighting is for coins NOT in holders. Since my Jefferson Nickel set is raw I decided it...
Thanks. I'm finding that unless half dimes are AU or better they are toned like this one. Sort of a medium gray. I see no reason they should tone...
... the latest additions to my collection. These have been on my wantlist for quite a while. [IMG] [IMG]
For my high interest sets I prefer XF or better BUT not MS-60, -61 or -62. There are a few exceptions (some VF's) but they are candidates for...
Looks like Charmy is not going to have a table at the show.
Two weeks and counting. I just knocked two coins off my wantlist. Got them on Teletrade. I think the economy is REALLY getting to people. Both...
Thanks for the input. It's pretty much as I expected. Sort of like the Red Book is to coins except maybe even worse.
I bought two Krause World Paper Money catalogs just so I'd have some idea of the worth of any world currency that came my way. How realistic are...
Well done! Feels good to have the product of your work and money show up on the first page of the Registry Set you are participating in. My type...
The first coin appears undamaged to me (cleaning, particularly dipping, is not something I can reasonably detect in an image). The second coin...
Damage is a VERY broad term and CAN include a whole plethora of problems. I don't consider Mint-caused problems, either pre- or post-strike to...
The general opinion is that most (75-80%?) 19th century coins have been cleaned at one time. And generally the cleaning was done in the 19th...
I won't be there (I live on the East Coast). But MFD will be there with my wantlist. And I've made two bids in the Heritage auction.
First, do we agree it's not die doubling? If it IS doubling then the rest of this entry will be trash. I understand your description of "dropped...
I don't think "doubled die" is the correct term for your variety. The term "dropped [something]" sticks in my mind. If I'm correct, I understand...
Although I believe at least one of the TPGs uses FB instead of FT for the Roosies.
The artist impact is so great that the textual mistakes are trivial.
Thanks for the comments on the images. I'm happy with them. I seemed to have gotten the axial lighting correct. Hopefully the current setup will...
Thanks for the info. About 80% of my music listening is classical. That's why it caught my attention. Once again, well done.
Well done! It has the artistic touch that I would NEVER be able to achieve. But just as important to me, "WHAT IS THAT MUSIC?"
