Okay, first time for everything -- I checked the seller's listings, and I don't see anything that makes me suspicious. But wait for people with...
I'm stealing that, or at least bootlegging it.
And maybe flowers and a movie first.
Okay, here's one question I've had for a while: outside of checking toning (including copper color), why does CRI matter for inspecting coins?...
But why limit yourself to simple sesquipedalianisms when you can instead imagine semiquinpedalian neologisms? ("They're two and a half feet long!")
Halogen bulbs do have filaments. They just run hotter than old-style incandescent bulbs, so they produce cooler/bluer light. It's still a smooth...
And some die deterioration? Those flow lines are pretty coarse and prominent...
I thought halogen was the gold standard for examining coins...?

You need a bright point source to make a diamond really scintillate. Now that we're Living In The Future, that's easy and cheap to do in a small...

Yeah, that does look like it's in remarkable condition. If you haven't already, you should put it in some sort of protective holder to make sure...
It is a proof. They made a lot of these Washington commemoratives, though, so it isn't worth a lot more than melt value. Better for keeping and...
The overdue fines, on the other hand... :eek:
Looks to me like it was plated with something while being supported by those "spots". In the first close-up, those look a bit like "windows" onto...
The bigger question: who originally mixed a gold coin in with random foreigns? I mean, I've got a real organization problem, but I've never done that.
Has anyone ever found a real collectible coin on Aliexpress?
Separate names with a comma.
