Some of us like both ;)
I'll go with max 0.70. Fun idea, thanks for the chance! When is the contest closed?
The luster looks much stronger on the 46S. I like them both, they both have a pretty similar style of toning. I generally prefer less speckly...
I'd love to be there - but I'm going to FUN instead. Kind of mean of them to have the shows on the same weekend, but that's how its always been.
In my opinion, there is no need to ever "flame" someone because they are new. You haven't had the experiences we have, you don't have the...

The highest graded ones are the 1956 (last coin in the third row) and the two coins with prongs in the fourth row (1957 and 1958D). All three are...

Everything you need to know about clips you can find in my thread here: http://www.cointalk.com/t77334/
Yes, there are a few that I would like to upgrade. For the most part, though, I am very happy with the grades of the pieces. I have been upgrading...
Definitely. Spotty, streaked, dark, brown, black, ugly, or unattractive toning certainly can and will bring the price down. How much depends on...
