I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you had influenced the market to a small degree, Paul, but the toned market is larger than just these...
Where do you want me to start? I've got about 50 Franklins, maybe more. I guess I'll start with one I don't post very often, my only proof: (if...
Fantastic 1921 Sparrow!!! Very well struck, shiny, lustrous, mmmmmmmmm....... My only Peace is currently with Bob getting its picture taken.
Believe me, I too know all about toning. Newer Whitman albums probably will not tone as well or as fast. You need albums from teh 60's that...
"Speed up" toning is code-speak for "artificially tone" - or at the very least enhanced toning. This is a grey area, but the best toning is what...
I like your's a lot more than Frank's recent shilling. It is highly unusual, as you already recognize, to find them well centered, well struck,...
Yes, Chris, I just tried to upload pictures as attachments in my DMPL Sacagawea thread and it gave me a "fatal error". I just put them on...
I've had this one for a little while, but just now got around to taking pictures of it. Actually, I had forgotten about it and it got buried on my...
How does a cent clash with a $20 or $0.50? Do you have a thread where you discuss it so I can read more about it without sidetracking this one?
Looks like nice, subtle, original patina. A nice purchase.
These blue folders are affectionately known as "thumb-busters" for a reason. They key is to not try and push the coin directly straight down in...
Sounds like you have a great set, sparrow. Are they mostly all VF? When I do work on the Bust halves, I'm getting all EF coins. That's my favorite...
The pictures didn't need to load below Liberty's head and I already knew it was a no question AT - and horribly ugly at that. You just don't find...
I got my Binion dollar (certified NGC MS-65* with the Binion label) for a steal - $300 [img] [img]
Thanks. You may or may not be interested to know that both of the halves in my last post are also R4 varieties.
I have been focusing elsewhere for the most part lately, but I do have a few Busties. I really like your 1836 - this date seems to be very hard to...
Haha, talk about resurrecting a thread. In the three months, I have learned a bit also. I would grade yours 45 - and I still like it!
It is mighty hard to finish an SLQ set, you have quite a collection there. Very nice! When I'm looking at a collection, I don't care so much what...
Thanks guys, I really like the "gem circulated cameo" look of dark grey EF-40 old silver halves. You just don't get much better than that....
Maybe, but at least they'll be consistently inconsistent.
Separate names with a comma.
