The obverse on that one is especially nice. I'd love to see some better pics of it, though, which show the cameo contrast (or any contrast at...
These are porcelain? As in, the same stuff as my teacup? How were they made? I assume they were pressed and then kilned? Were they actually...
I don't know anything about the topic of the thread. I'm just here to congratulate you on the use of an interesting and unusual word.
I'd call it 66PL. The marks on his bust are probably due to striking issues. There is some debate about how severely they discount the grade (or...
I wouldn't call it a bargain. You got it for a fair price.

No, I have never bought a coin back that I used to own. If I sold it, there was a reason. Either I upgraded it and have something nicer, or I...
That is a *REALLY* bad idea. Most modern homes have pipes made of PVC, or similar plastics. The whole point of using acetone on our coins is to...
You really can't compare any of those things to today... Technology has changed, which has made manufacturing and drilling more efficient. Supply...
So you're saying CoinTalk is the website where everything is made up and the points don't matter?
RD is worth more points in the Registry than RB. So people chase the RDs even more than they did before, thus it is more in demand and will get a...
