Not mine. I don't buy anything after 1964 anymore.
I am doing my type set differently. Since I'm buying better grade coins, I buy them slabbed and keep them slabbed. So I use Eagle Certified Coin...
Yeh, some of their listings are WAY out of whack. That's when I'll look for a third source.
It's the insert in the holder that is making the dentils look strange. It's the price you pay to make sure the coin won't wiggle around.
Here's one of my keys: [IMG] Question. Which coin do you like better? Mine that's one grade higher or illini420's which is a RD? Or do you...
Morgan and (to a lesser extent) Peace dollars are and have been very popular. Probably close to Lincoln cents are the most popular. That means two...

If it were me, I'd go for the Lafayette. Why? - Early commen (1900?) - Only silver commem with $1 face value. Like the Isabella quarter, an odd...
Interesting. Based on just that one item, I suspect you have a collection many of us would like to see. Totally out of the area of my knowledge.
and makes me happier that I don't collect rainbow toning....
I've seen the term "crusty" used often in here. What does it mean?
Images are too small. Can't tell.
It looks like you used a scanner to get your images. Then maybe(?) Photoshopped the pictures. They look overexposed. Too much light. Anyway,...
If by graded you mean slabbed, the only ones I know of are Eagle Certified Coin Albums. I use them. They are a bit klunky but do the job.
PCGS coins? No. You take the coin out of the slab and you wouldn't know the difference. PCGS slabs? Yes. Many people don't look inside the slab....
I've built my type set based on the 1793-1964 NGC Registry Set. That of course means I've ignored everything since 1964. Just my personal...
