Sir Messy, you have once again vanquished your foe. Your noble feats deserve these humble prizes. At the FUN show, often the big TPGs will have...
Jeff, I appreciate your thoughtful response. Perhaps I have not explained my position well enough. The examples you give (changing a 44D to a 14D)...
Dang, that's pretty good. You must have searched a lot of rolls for those. I'd think those would be pretty scarce to find. I've never...
In that case, I think you have a nice find! Where did you find it?

I've seen various methods of truning coins in old, full contact holders like this. I'm curious to hear if these sorts of methods work on pronged...

I was a day early. That pull-back on Wednesday hurt me... if it didn't do that, I'd have been close!
Apmex marked $100 Silver this morning, Friday the 23rd, at 0800: [ATTACH]
There are several major subtypes of Bust Halves. Each subtype has distinctly different element designs and reliefs, and must be graded...
Honestly, when I sell it is because I have moved on from the coin. I bought it for what I was willing to pay, I enjoyed it for what it was, and...
It depends... Answer a few questions first: 1. Are you looking to add it to a Registry set? NGC, PCGS, and CACG have registries where you can...
Sunlight tends to be very harsh on coins - every little scratch shows up. My interpretation of the scratches are consistent with normal wear, I...
After inorganic chemistry in high school, I knew that I wanted none of that! I had a basic chemistry class in college, but it was far more focused...
