I agree with the die polishing. I noticed that. I'll look at the top too since it appears to be slightly out of focus. That could cause any die...
Agreed. But I looked at it as a very special bullion piece. That's why I don't buy modern Mint items because my opinions are suspect. This is a...
Here's the largest image I currently have. [WARNING: This is a 400kb image.] http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/25-1932s-r.jpg
Wow, that many already! And I figured this would be one of the few modern issues that would achieve significant growth status. Good thing I don't...
Here's a larger image of the obverse of the 1932-D. I think you'll agree that the "scratched" designation is deserved. [IMG] Good eyes. I...
Just remember, never use the words "logical" and "eBay" in the same sentence. And probably not the same paragraph.
Ought to be a nice set to work with. Not so large that it will seem never ending. Not so expensive that you'll wonder if you'll ever be able to...
I have a 2-3x I use for quick checking. I also have a 3x/6x/9x that I use to check for varieties, doubling, etc. I keep thinking about a stereo...
There's an early copper dealer that I encounter at medium and large shows in the DC/Baltimore area. I stay away from him because he doesn't get...
What proof coins? Modern (1936 to 1942, 1950 to 1955, 1955 to 1964, older, wha From 1968 to present eBay is probably your best bet. You just have...
If I put the full sized image up the scratches would be quite obvious. And, no, I didn't think I'd get a "DETAILED" crade on that coin. Bummer....
Here's the two Washington quarter keys (not counting varieties). The interesting part is the ANACS slab for the 1932-D. 1932-D 25C/SCRATCHED//EF...
The slight die rotation on the 16-D exists. I forgot that I was going to add that bit of info to the image. Easy enough to fix. The apparent die...
VERY nice coin. The head actually has some detail to it. And with those surfaces it really comes alive. And your photo work is well done.
For some reason I don't know, Mercury dimes never rose to the top of my interest level. I do have a short set (1941-45) in raw MS and a few...
Because I got a new camera, I'm re-imaging my collection, many of the coins for the third time (that's not the fun part). So as I go along I'll...
NICE COIN!!! That's the way I like my coins! Very little wear so that someone can look at it and see what the intent of the engraver was.
Since you've already made a significant investment, my suggestion is moot. BUT Why didn't you go with just the Washington quarter Intercept Shield...
Does this mean that 20-cent coins have a grading standard all their own that belies a more general standard for SL coins? As a group were they...
But it's nice to have that acknowledgment. The warm fuzzy feeling after a job well done.
