Agreed. Thanks for all your additions to this thread, Doug.
Hey y'all - I'm celebrating 1000 views on my Franklin Registry set (which you can see in the link in my signature :) ) So post the coin which...
I'd say they both look 64 to me, nice coins! Is that haze on the obverse of the '80, or is it reflection from your camera or something? Too bad...
That is definitely strike doubling on AMERICA.
This probably (certainly) deserves its own thread, so I will just give the short answer right now. EDS (early die state) is the beginning of the...
IGWT posted the above on the PCGS thread linked above. I'm not sure if he posts over here or not, but I thought it was worth repeating. I'm not a...
Please explain. CAC only stickers PCGS and NGC, none of the others.
The MS67 Morgan Dollar (Grades within a Grade) I found this post on "The MS67 Morgan Dollar (Grades within a Grade)" interesting and have...
The second pic captures the luster better, which is very important in a picture of an uncirculated coin. The dark areas are a concern, but this...

Which is immediately suspicious, in my book. The guy might have the stuff - but he might be "borrowing" pictures from other sources, and trying to...
Much better ;) So he brought all those today? Wow, your mailman must like you.
Normally, die cracks don't add much value. They are common, and collectors don't pay a premium for them. However, extremely late die states...
Congratulations? Sorry, but I'm having a real hard time caring.
Cool pattern half. I definitely wouldn't buy it on Ebay from that seller, and I probably wouldn't pay that much for it anywhere- but it is super cool.
Leadfoot, are you MikeInFL on the NGC and PCGS boards? Thanks for posting that discussion on PCGS - we've gotten some good views, especially Lou's...
I like the George IIII Shilling, I don't have that one. The reverse looks funny though, like a mirror image.
The early American stuff (EAC, BHNC) is widely collected and studied by die variety. There is also a John Reich collectors society, so I guess a...
Separate names with a comma.
