It's worth checking back from time to time, because technology does march ever onward. In May 2022, the last time this thread was active, there...
I guess the criteria for bumps on wire edges would almost have to be more relaxed. I was surprised, but then again, I haven't been a shopper for...
What does the scale show for a couple of known good coins?
I'd think that's enough of a rim dent to get Details. I can't say that I've looked at enough worn HR Saints to say anything about the grade,...
But that other 10% is the part I want the most! Probably. (Actually, I'm guessing some of the stories he has to tell might be even more fun than...

OP seems to spend quite a lot of time and effort scouring eBay for bad examples. Seems a little ironic for someone with "realmoney" in his...

The first of your new round of images shows all three dots in the right place, according to the reference I'm using at the moment:...
I'm really in no position to authenticate one of these myself, but as an exercise: Mint mark position, orientation, and shape seem to match...
