They are tough to find. I think yours is an earlier die stage than mine. Nice! Jim
Just any old potatoes won't do. Please read http://www.cointalk.com/t62812/ posts 50-55. Snake river region potatoes are the preferred ones due...
I will do so. I hope to get the group off sometime next week. I enjoy coins that have some mystery ( even preceived mystery) about them. :) Jim
Not really. I am going to send it to NCG just for the fun of it. I know that if the rims are chamfered, it isn't a proof, but this one is square...
If you have a second could you give an opinion on these 2 coins a club friend of mine wishes to send to PCGS. My opinion was rather different than...
Absolutely! That is a bigger key than most imagine! Jim
Joe, I see the mintmark as being close, but there is a line of dirt/corrosion separating them in my opinion, they do not touch, just very close. Jim
It is not the 008, as the primary mint mark is not that close to the date, and there was only one obverse die for the 008. Here is a photo of...
Even when I blow it up, the pixelation makes it hard to see. It does look like there is doubling on the mintmark also? If it is doubled also, you...

In Photobucket, I have found that sometimes it uploads a photo and changes its orientation. If you just rotate it without saving a copy, it...
The weight will only tell if it is a sure fake if it is off. Unfortunately, the Chinese have been producing several levels of counterfeits, some...
The chance of a Chinese counterfeit is very very high. Color is not a good indicator as the actual figure of the coin. No one will venture an...
Give a man a CAT and he is a slave forever. Give a man a torch and he can melt the world.:D Jim
Some innocently say, "I put it into the album intending to get it "album toned". I wrapped it in clean 'newsprint' paper to speed it up." After 4...
It doesn't require a science background to realize you could make your own with a little google help. But that would be considered AT by most due...
Jello, you may have to specify and pay a variety fee to get it listed as a specific VAM. The other TPG companies charge a fee. Jim
Actually all Morgans and Peace Dollars have a VAM number , even normal ones. This one looks like VAM6. I could be off as I couldn't see some of...
I think you are correct. My guess also. The bluish color around it is very interesting in context of the lamination(?) Jim
Is the dresser real wood or fiberboard composite? Either one can produce acids ( tannic is the case of many woods) or sulfur compounds in making...
