Nice looking sets!
Run, Forrest! Run!
This is correct. The new PCGS slabs, for example, are significantly lighter than the older ones, even though they seem bulkier. Even if you had...
The weight bugs me more than anything else. One possibility is that this is a GMM reproduction that has been worked to obscure the COPY stamp and...
No 66s in that batch. You might get a 65RD on the 66, the 63-D looks 63RD, the others 64RD.
These are quite impressive on many fronts. Nice, hefty 2 oz. feel. Well-executed, high relief design. I imagine they'll be pretty cool once...
Grade is probably 58-61. There are a lot of doubled obverses for 28-S as well. Check TRVST, as that's where they often show up.
This. The term "depression coin" is not numismatically significant. It doesn't indicate that a coin is any more or less rare than a pre- or...
Report them all. It doesn't take long. The picture of the seated dollar and bust dimes look quite odd, almost like the pictures were...
Silver is silver, and I never said the toning process applied was normal (although it doesn't look bad). Things that would interfere with the...
Problem coin, abraided with something, toned to cover it up. Exactly what imparted the lines on the once-pristine coin and why, I'm not sure,...
Uh, that would make them counterfeits.
A copper plated zinc cent will turn golden when heated in an oven. I don't know that there's any way to distinguish it from one that came that...
I don't mind the $5 design conceptually, but I know the execution of the portraits will be lifeless. Imagine how the Frasers (either one) would...
Looking at frequency of auction sales listed on CoinFacts, MS63 comes up much more often than AU58, which means you'll be able to be choosier....
Top one. Looks like a higher grade coin, toning is more even and attractive. Hit on the obverse field of the bottom one is kind of nasty.
Awesome! Let me know if you need some glamour shots. HR Saints are extremely photogenic.
The other alternative is to get the albums that don't include proofs, allowing you to fill your albums while keeping proof sets intact.
Glad you enjoyed it, or at least were pleasantly surprised it wasn't a dry PowerPoint. I was hoping to get some people outside the VAM hobby to...
Dear eBay Sellers, Screw you, and thank you for listing with eBay. Love, eBay Customer Service
