I'm going to take you to task for your post. For someone who labels himself "Supporter" I consider your post to lack both feeling and...
There are collectors who intentionally collect the most worn coins they can find. They limit themselves to PR-1 and FR-2.
True, but only two of mine are MS. My 1864 LM is MS-64 BN. My 1866 is also MS-64 BN. My 1864 SM is XF-40. My 1872 is AU-50. Like I do with...
We used to use thermocouples when I was a weatherman. A loop of two wires of different conductivity joined end to end was made. One end where the...
I'm in love! I've been after one of those for several years with no luck. Congrats.
Storing unlike metals in contact with each other is a bad practice. Something about creating an electro-potential. We really need a physicist to...
Mmmmmmmmmm, nice. I've got a full set of business strikes. Proofs are too expensive.
No way to tell from those images.
Post an image.
The more I look at it the less I like it. I just noticed the "dig" between the "BU" of "PLURIBUS". This coin now goes on my "to be replaced"...
My comments weren't a slam at your coin. I happen to like die cracks. Just curious, especially since it's a proof. Overall I suspect most people...
My 1892-CC Morgan has a number of rim dings. And unlike my other problem Morgans this one will cost a lot more to replace, even in this grade (I...
Whoa, momma!!! That is one impressive coin! I see a couple of lines. Die cracks? - Out the top of Liberty's head? - Between "TA" of "STATES"? -...
Yes. Amazing how I never noticed this before. Imaging my coins has given me a chance to review their condition. Unfortunately too many surprises....
Just noticed. The 1881-S appears to be damaged. Guess I have to replace it.
Here's my 1881 Morgans, raw as usual. Please express a grading opinion. BTW I incorporate the consensus grade into the final image. 1881 [IMG]...
It's better than mine which is slabbed PCGS G-6, but not by much. I think VG-8 is a good technical grade. Could go VG-10 for market grade.
The .jpg format has two main features: The Good Feature: The file is goes through a compression algorithm which makes the size smaller,...
That's why we have the term "baggy" indicating MS coins that have digs and gouges in them from banging against each other. And of course the more...
It more depends upon what caused the scratch. If there is reeding on one side such as caused by banging into other Morgans after being struck or...
Separate names with a comma.
