Lofty goal, but probably manageable. Certainly worth it when completed. I've almost completed the set in -66 (one missing) but only a few FT's....
I agree with the birthyear aspect of the purchase. Certainly a consideration. CamaroDMD, instead of a single special coin from your birthyear...
I agree. It would still affect the coin more than if it were in the dark, but probably not significantly in a lifetime. And coins are really hard...
Somewhere in the VF-30/XF-40 range I would say. I really like the die crack. Significant die cracks are to me like colorful toning is to other...
IMO if you want something that would appreciate in value: - go with gold. - stay away from the modern stuff. Some modern items will give you the...
Looks like the dies weren't properly aligned at the moment of the strike. That would account for the progressive weakness as you go from 11 to 5...
Light is energy, and I'm pretty sure energy can speed up the toning process. Think about the people heating coins to get AT. By itself I don't...
I've got PSP-7. And if while looking you can figure out how to circular crop, that would be a BIG help. Another "situation" that I know affects...
Both are certainly better for a quick start. But now at least one other person/group knows your total inventory. And if it's accessable by others...
For this sort of bookkeeping and assuming US coins, just marking them off in a Red Book would be sufficient. Next to the date/mintmark in the book...
Yeh, still a bit ragged around the edges, but unless I find something in my Paint Shop Pro, that's the way it will be. It is definitely better...
I thought it was better than -63.
I FINALLY got the format the way I want it. I still have a bit of work to do on the lighting, but otherwise I'm happy. I changed to a black...
Ah, I see it now. I had to copy the image and play with the brightness and contrast to see it. Okay, we can discard my theory about its future...
Hard to beat Excel since you can tailor the contents to exactly what you want. And if your wants change later, then you can make those changes.
I don't see the word "COPY" on it. Could be the buyer is going to try to flip it as original, then play dumb when the new buyer blows the whistle.
SLQ's are like a number of other coins for which a single feature is emphasized. In this case a Full Head (FH). Mercury dimes have their Full...
Pleasing coins. The sort I'd want if I were collecting IHCs.
Nice coin. Certainly a plus. I'd suggest getting it into something like an AirTite to help preserve it.
Rats, missed seeing it. I just got an 1893-CC as an upgrade to my Morgans. Only a VF-30, but that was the best I could reasonably afford.
