WOW! I would consider your book an interesting and valuable addition to numismatic history and lore. You've got one guaranteed sale.
Book!? You've got MY attention! Since I don't know who you are or your book's title, I won't know what to look for.
Agreed. It doesn't look right to me. And part 2 of my opinion is my standard response for a coin of this value. Before I put my money down for...
I've got the Fourth Edition of Van Allen's and Mallis' book. I figured I'd go through my Morgan and Peace dollars and determine what the VAM...
Any chance that we'll get to say hello? It would have to be early since I tend to buy and run. I'm generally gone by 1PM at the latest. I know...
I'll be there for the 10AM opening on Friday. Since I'm not a dealer, Thursday is out for me.
I agree. And I can see two reasonable solutions for the low-budget collector. 1. Put your coins in 2x2's or PVC-free flips. Get 3-ring,...
Ask me again after Friday's (June 12) Baltimore show. I've got grandiose plans, but ...
In general when I collect a set I include the popular varieties. For instance my War Nickel set includes a 1943-P 3/2. But not the 1943-P Doubled...
Yep, the Walking Liberty design is generally considered one of the best for US coins. I've got a full set but didn't put any effort (and money)...
Here's mine. It's for my type set. It's amazing how "empty" the obverse looks without the stars or legend. [IMG]
Minor point. The black is more likely silver sulfide than silver oxide. And the coin is no more damaged than all these rainbow toned coins.
I just got a Nikon D90. I went Nikon because I already had the lens, and they are a quality brand. My wife has a D300 but that's WAY too much...
Yes, shooting through slabs. Nope, not polishing first. But since I'm just learning to handle my camera, I haven't gotten to dealing with...
And here's another coin I just received. [IMG]
The camera body, 4GB memory card, better battery and remote shutter release were about $1000. The macro lens was another $550.
For purposes of accuracy, a minor edit is required. It should be 1024x768.
You've got two VERY different types of coins. Your handling of the proof is very good. Proof are tough to image. But you'll need a considerably...
After all the fits and starts you've received there's probably a LOT of bogus material in your cookies and temp files. If it were me I'd clean...
I format the composite to fit a screen page at 1020x768 resolution. But I keep the original at full size in case further examination is desired.
