Sorry to hijack your thread, but slabbed toned proofs are just cool IMO. Here's an NGC 66 CAM I wish I would have kept.
This one is a toss up, the TPG's do let some toned, modern Lincoln proofs though. I've owned a few 1970-S LD's that were spectacular. The one in...
Pretty nice woody! A couple of hints: Look for woodgraining on both sides, when you flip it, the grain should be basically a mirror image. Keep...
I was still thinking....oh well, it was AU-63, tough call.
Hard to believe that grade based on the pictures and what I'm used to from you.
Charmy would like it! NICE!
I like it because there's ZERO question about the toning when you see it like that. I've yet to see someone AT a coin into anything like those.
Indeed....and sometimes there can be a polar residue under the non-polar. Nonetheless, I generally prefer water first as a conservation solvent...
Dont' know, I only use lab grade stuff.
Very nice coin....I would have guessed RB, I forgot to add that to my comment.
In general, you should always follow the polarity ladder. 1) distilled water 2) acetone 3) xylene
VF-30 details, $3-4
Some light fingerprints, looks to be a very light verdigris haze. AU-63
Awesome!
What? Noting to sell to the pawn shop this time? LOL
I think I do pretty well with one...but it's a dual kind of lamp.
Indeed, this is true. It's more difficult than you might think to fill a memorial cent binder with coins from circulation. I suggest filling the...
I've found a few that look like that from searching boxes.
Nice coin!
NGC missed the boat on this one. I don't see 4 pts worth of deductions!
