Seemed to have picked up recently although it tends to do that prior to the summer seminars and Annual show. The new weekly E-sylum email is...
My old 3rd edition of Krause 1601-1700 (2003) lists it as KM 1185 (Old KM-1856) and says that varieties exist. The CA monogram on the rev is the...
Congrats. I joined when I was 18 back in 1982
Acetone only works on organic stuff that adheres to the surface of the coin. If the metal has reacted then it really doesn't do anything. Other...
The Krause Standard Catalog of German Coins 3rd Edition (2011) also lists this for $20 in Fine. BTW: My 1875-H is only the equivalent to VG.
I have a weakness for bad jokes, so that gets a "Like". Plus it's a nice coin
Are there any web sites or books that lists the standardized descriptions for grading German coins 1873-1945? I am familiar with the S and SS...
I'm still leaning towards a planchet defect on the edge because I think the the pressure during striking would not be enough to fill some of the...
Great set of errors. You can study the characteristics and compare them to your circulation finds. That's a great way to learn more about the...

I started to answer but saw this post and have nothing better to add. Nice explanation
I'm on the fence about this and leaning towards fake (creative use of a grinder). The rim next to the clip does not have much of a taper and...
I think it has potential to be a Nickel struck on a cent planchet. The weight would be a big piece of the puzzle.
I'm leaning towards a die gouge under the eye. The line looks thin and I don't think it matches up with any feature on the eye that would...
I set aside a number of coins with die deterioration back in the 80's. Mostly Nickels and Dimes. Also seemed to be a fair number of minor...
Willysilver. Sorry you post ended up this way but hopefully, you got the information you need to answer your initial questions. Depending on...
I think you’re missing the point. Nobody is criticizing your photography skills, nor your specific advice in helping others improve their...
Since there were posts that answered the questions regarding grade and the reverse Die chip, I would say the pics were perfectly adequate.
Sometimes this is the best people can do with pics. New collectors don’t always know what kind of quality is needed. To expect someone new to...
