Thanks for the history lesson Conder!
Indeed.....I have NEVER used software manipulation on ANY of my coin photos other than to resize for web use. With the proper lighting and camera...
LOL....well, I don't want to go to the bank to dig it out! The one bad thing about storing the good stuff in a box, it's a PAIN to get out.
Yea, he charges me $25 for any of the big 3 that I want. I should probably slab the one in my main collection instead though.....but I generally...
Just check Lange, it was the master die (not hub) that was sharpened....he makes no mention of the time frame.
You might be right....I don't know if I've ever heard that, but your research seems to back it. I'm not taking a chance on this one, but I'll...

Definately acid damage.
Sorry to hear that you must sell your collection. You can start by listing everything in the "for sale" section on CT. Good Luck
I think it's a beautiful piece of art!
NEVER clean coins....however, I do recommend a quick rinse with a high quality acetone prior to storage. This will remove any fresh (unseen)...

Hummm.....I don't remember, guess I need to get the books out.
Wood is good! NICE!
If this goes MS, it's a later obverse die state. The master obverse hub was sharpened in 1915 and this looks a bit mushy.
This woody is a TOUGH call, I can see 53-62....I might be better off to abstain. Hitting it will be a nice payoff, but missing it could be costly.
HAHAHAHA.....baha going 60 to minimize slider point damage! :D
