I agree. But you included another one of those "it's up to the collector" words. "Uniform" I like your application of that word to collecting...
If moisture were involved, I would have expected a change in color or tone.
I'll start answering now. Put in what you want. IMO go for high grade rather than silver vs. clad. If you have two you feel are equal, use the...
Is it on his head or on the slab? Otherwise I have no more suggestions.
Some places I couldn't find any listed, others the one or two places listed weren't close by. Places I've been and looked: - Australia-None - New...
Good going. Money handlers have an edge on us other types.
Experience, albeit limited, has shown me that coin (or stamp) shops in non-US countries are few and far between. And small. I suspect most dealers...
Unless proven differently, I suspect the problem is with the USPS and their treatment of the class of mail used for Coin World.
Just did a check on the NGC Registry Type Set (1792-1964). The count is 97 coins. I didn't look at the "to present" type set so I don't know how...
I based my type set on the one in the NGC Registry. Then I modified it slightly to add one coin that I thought belonged (even though when asked,...
Because I really only collect pre-1965, I use Intercept Shield albums. (I've got an Unc PD state quarter set too, but that's it for post-silver...

I mostly avoid US Mint products like the plague. The high relief gold piece would be an exception. But there's limited money available and things...
Looks like an 1888-O VAM-4
The first Morgan I tried to determine the VAM for had some attributes of a particular VAM, but not all. That's what caused me grief.
This thread like the others I've recently made are as much for trying to show people what sort of mistakes can be made as for showing off some of...
That's what I thought, but not having spent enough time reading the book I wasn't sure.
The 1862 wasn't a DDO. It's just that there was enough money left over from the sale of the 1858/7 that for a little extra from me I could buy the...
One more before I take a couple weeks off. Back a year or so I had just learned about this coin. I don't often collect varieties but it caught my...
