Here's my basic setup: [IMG] The two lamps are OTT-LITE's both with "white light" bulbs. I've played around somewhat with the positioning of...
Wonderful. Now if we could only get the US Mint to design coins with that much artistic touch. Heck, I'd accept something reasonably close. I...
Here's the coin I got yesterday. [IMG] This is the coin I hope gets a variety attribution of "AW". As you can see I haven't solved my imaging...
My guess, lots of coins from the 50's.
This is NOT the coin that prompted me to start this thread. But it will serve the purpose. [IMG] This coin is graded PCGS MS-xx BN. Based upon...
Yeh, messages crossing in the mail. I'm satisfied that: - color alone doesn't (or at least shouldn't) affect the grading of a coin. - but color...
We're running into a lot of semantic and terminology problems here. That's why a topic such as this benefits from face-to-face discussions where a...
That's one part of my question. Another is if two coins were both labeled AU-55, would the one with dull surfaces have less wear or fewer marks...
DEFINITION: When I use one of the forms of the term "slab" I am referring ONLY to PCGS or NGC. It is my understanding that for a coin to be...
Just checked the greysheet. AU = $300 MS-60 = $325 IMO $330 is a very good price, even if you have to pay extra for S&H. If you like its look, I...
That show happens 4 times a year. I used to go to them all, but gave up. 1. It's VERY crowded and has narrow aisles. If there's a person looking...
I've bought several coins from them and I'm impressed. They are on the high end of customer relations. Very pleasant to deal with.
I've played with the image a bit and I'm coming up with the same answer.
Yep. I've only dealt with Heritage once and it was about a problem I caused. Handled in a VERY professional and understanding manner. Chalk up...
So based upon this, I would expect there to be more than 6x as many 1964 coins in this grade, even though they would look worse. (6x is about how...
ADDENDUM: The contents of my type set were defined by the groupings in the Red Book. Later one more coin was added because of the NGC Registry...
My favorite collection, a type set. Here's the thought process I went through at the beginning (about 10 years ago): 1. I wanted coins that...
On the more expensive side, check out Capital Plastics. If they don't have what you want, I believe you can order ones made to your specifications.
Whoa!!! Impressive. I knew you were into high end IHCs, especially colorfully toned. But by adding these to your collection, it acquires a whole...
Interesting. I've thought this for quite a while but never actually seen it in print. So you're saying TPG's not only have general grading...
