Heritage has top notch IT infrastructure. So much so, in fact, that posting to a coin forum wondering about your shipment triggers printing of...
I use two gooseneck lamps with CFLs also. I probably paid $20 for the pair at Menards several years ago.
It's 1921 all over again! Which one is the normal collar?
The scratch resistant holders are hard to polish if they get scratched, but then all NGC holders are hard to get looking nice if they get scuffy....
I don't have the coin in hand, but between IB is probably die polishing lines or coloration. There are a few marks on ERT, but the prime focal...

If you're going to Long Beach, visit James Sego (JMS Coins). He's the industry go-to-guy for Ikes and a good guy to deal with. If you tell him I...
It just dawned on me that the 1955-82 commem hiatus was shorter in length than the modern commem "low-atus." A big difference in the design...
That's a little better. I could go 64 or 65.
If I were looking for a $200 Ike for a type set, I'd get a 40% 1973-S in MS68. There are enough that it won't be too hard to find one you really...
F15, +/- cleaning. Is anyone more familiar with this series than I concerned about the denticles on the reverse that are not attached to the rim?
I'm going to have to make this one a wild guess, since I can't really see the obverse very well. 64?
