Thad, in your labeled comparison photos, I find that if I click and hold , I can transfer the "ghost of the "small-s" image over to the side and...
It should stay in the area of the coin if you just put the "sauce" on the cloth, just a small spot. It is very viscous and won't creep around the...
Someday they will be worth what philatelic first day covers are worth~~ 4/$1 My banks say they are dependent on their supplier. Tried to look...
For the 1888/7 Snow-1, the last "8" in the date as well as the rim area over the "UNITED" where a cud is seen in all coins over VG is the...
Congratulations Hobo! I will be sure to read it soon. Jim
Sometime trying to photograph ( or even use a good loupe) through a scratched slab is hopeless. I have read the suggestions of using a plastic...
The stuff on the back looks like adhesive or similar. Possibly a acetone rinse would remove it. True, a 62P is probably only worth the melt...
I would go MS64R also without larger photo to check the fields. I would be in the $400-450 range with a return guarantee against non-genuine. If...

Carl, I appreciate your comment. These coins have been with me raw for several decades, and a discussion with my 25 yr old son and heir is that...

Check with your Local Library or if you are near a community or 4 year college, ask the librarian about getting a library card. Especially the...
Here are a few coins I had photographed and are ready to submit to PCGS, so I decided to post them. Lets hope for the best. Jim 1864-L IHC,...
Well, since you asked, I think from the photographs that it is a very generous grade by PCGS. due to the coin marks in the fields and spot, I...
Hi Stella, I know that sometimes people get off on the wrong foot. Welcome to the forum and you do have some very nice coins, and certainly...
