I buy them slabbed, therefore no worries.
The latest LESSON LEARNED: Forget the NGC multi-coin slabs. Good News: They look nice in hand. Bad News: Storage is a minor problem. Bad News:...
In your price range you can get one like I used to use. It's a Nikon Coolpx 995. It's macro capable. There's some drawbacks though: - out of...
Consider a second light source, like this: [IMG] Otherwise you're doing well.
Looks like there's a Shenandoah Coin Shop in Chilhowie which, if Mapquest is right, is only about 10 miles from you.
In hand it would be easy to miss. Even under 3x it doesn't look all that bad. But it's on the cheek and the graders with their good lighting,...
I'm using a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor Micro 60mm lens ("Micro" is their term for "Macro"). It's a digital SLR. The camera is too expensive unless...
I also use Hugh Wood.
1. Buying a complete set is less expensive than buying the set coin by coin. 2. Buying a complete set is a starting point; then you upgrade the...
Okay, here's my recent purchases. Since there are 4, I'll do them as links. These two are for filling the latest dates in my type set: 1951-D...
Well done. You even paid lower than greysheet. To me, THAT'S getting a bargain.
Whoa, momma!!! Nice coin! Type coin or part of a full Buffalo set? I've got the same coin for my type set but two grades below yours.
Nice going. Quite an accomplishment. Please do show us the whole set. I'm trying to do the same thing with Capped Bust half dimes. Those dudes...
I Googled it and came up with this: http://www.chem.umn.edu/services/lecturedemo/info/Acid_Rain.html They label it a red-brown gas. There's...
Since I took chemistry in 1959, there were no zinc cents (except the '43).
Actually if that IS verdigris on the rim it would probably be body bagged by the TPGs. If so, then any grade is moot. Take a look at my Lincoln...
As I recall, if I were to drop it in concentrated nitric acid I'd get a really neat brown gas (which I believe is toxic).
I'd hope to get XF money for it (that may be wishful thinking). As to the color, this image was done with a scanner rather than a camera. That...
Enough marks, particularly on the obverse, to keep it to a 63. Rim at 9. Shoulder. Hair and behind the head. But the real killer is whatever is...
In most respects this coin is AU, maybe even MS. BUT Well, the "BUT" is obvious. If it were your coin what would you do? My current opinion is...
Separate names with a comma.
