Nice balance between brightness and contrast. Certainly shows the details as I would like them. But the coin in-hand has more "mint shine" than...
I think my problem is more basic, but you ID'ed the difficulty. Too dark. I'm going to stick with "square one" for the moment. I need to increase...
Just checked. The raw images run about 150KB as a .jpg. Not large, so I'll be able to retain them as is.
When I said I "photoshopped" the original images I used the term in the generic sense. I actually have Paint Shop Pro. Because these are raw...
I put together an axial lighting system. I know it works at best poorly with slabbed coins. So, for the time being, I'm going to use it only for...
Something to consider. If you can't find someone to share a ride with, use Amtrak. I did that last year when I went to the Philly Whitman show....
Nice! Certainly worth the time and effort. I had forgotten that the '45-P is the tough one to get FS. My '45-P FS is only MS-65. My MS-67 '45-P is...
I just started getting ready for the June 17-20 Baltimore Whitman Show. And it's still 3 weeks away! (I tend to start feeling the excitement...
THIS I understand. Problem for me is that one coin I'd REALLY like to have costs about $20K. That would take 2 years of totally saving. I couldn't...
No problem with the wife. She knows that the collection has good value and it will be all hers when I kick off. Considering the way I treated...
Okay, I'm intrigued. I'm going to have to go over and look at my type set. Considering its size, a slide show is certainly a bonus....
Agreed. Mine is a raw VF. Early Buffaloes tend to come either MS or VF and below. Finding XF's and AU's is NOT easy. I had the same trouble...
Not dumb. Since you are doing a PCGS Registry Set, an NGC coin won't work. You have your standards for your set. If you like it, buy it and do a...
None of the above. I would go for some IHC's to fill in holes. $2000 would be good for about 3 or 4. I'm shooting for MS-63 BN.
Looks like Star 13, 12, 11 and maybe 10 have some doubling.
And the issue is a LOT broader than just your CBH's. When you step away from the mainstream coins you quickly run out of pricing info. And by...
F-15 to VF-20
I know the buyer's fee and S&H at Teletrade and Heritage, etc., are large. And I go into these auction knowing that, and accept that. But it's...
Just a thought: With the implementation of the slide show (which I like), NGC might wish to consider giving extra points for each coin that has...
[NOTE: This will be additional sarcasm.] In an effort to get approval from multiple TPGs (and CAC) simultaneously, they have agreed NOT to do...
Separate names with a comma.
