Except for the less expensive sets like Roosevelts or Jeffersons, I have no problem with mixed grades. And many other people don't either which is...
I've got an AU-58 and yours looks "more original" than mine. I don't see any distracting marks. Can't tell if there has been any cleaning. If it's...
The Mint does not release coins to local banks. They "sell" them to the Federal Reserve banks which in turn sells them to local banks IF the banks...
It looks good, and the surfaces look original. I'm just saying that I'm not ready to risk $1000+ based on an image AND no authentication.
You did pretty well with that image of the 45-D Merc. I have a LOT of trouble imaging coins with luster and proofs. My camera is fine but I...
My standard comment. With a coin of that value AND frequently faked, "No slab; No interest".
I'd guess 65 for the first one. Well struck but that mark in the field behind Liberty probably holds it down to 65. The second one is also well...
I found the NGC policy and it turns out I was wrong. Here's a direct quote from their site: "The FT designation will be included when applicable...
That's what I use. Same stuff used as in elementary school.
IMO, you get too much reflection from a white background and that overwhelms the light coming from the coin. Give you false color. I used...
I decided not to go. Would have cost me the price of a nice coin for travel and lodging. But from the reports I've seen, I missed a good show....
This is my understanding. CamaroDMD, can you reference something that says it's automatic. I'll accept anything that is essentially the same....
IMO good beginning. Now try using a different background. Something non-reflective. You don't want the exposure to be influenced by incidental...
For coins like this, "No slab, no bid". Someone spent over $400 on a chance. Not smart.
I thought this in the beginning and I'm still of the same opinion - the UHR has a lot of potential. But it may take time (10 yrs?)
Nice. One of the Jefferson keys. Good going.
How partial? One coin could be a partial set! ;) And I'm interested about what you had in mind when you started. Did you have a goal (other...
You've got keys and semi-keys in that set with virtually no description. And they would ALL require good images. And your description is, to say...
It can be done but requires doing some programming in Excel. And that's a nightmare. I used to program in Fortran and I found Excel to be not...
Not painted in the classic sense. Look at the pattern of dots. It's been "screened". Compare to the pictures in your newspaper.
Separate names with a comma.
