Larry, knowing your passion for your coins... and some of the very interesting pieces you have, this seems to be a difficult but logical decision....
I watch a lot of Youtube videos. One of my favorite channels is Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals. He owns a gold mine on the west coast,...
I like the PCGS list better. It is a cleaner presentation of the date ranges, even if the Red Book is technically more accurate. The PCGS list...
Yes, I read what you wrote. I don't believe it is wear - I believe it is a weak strike. 1920's era San Fran coins are notoriously poorly struck....
Bro, what are you smoking? As I went to check Photograde to see how wrong you are, I'm going to revise my answer up to AU-50....

It is an improvement, for sure! Keep playing around with your lights, it isn't 100% perfect yet but that second picture is definitely better.
I love the history of the coin, but I've always thought this was a really boring design, given the subject.
An error on an error coin. How ironic. Love the matching set, by the way.
Happy birthday, and nice coin! My 40th is in July.
Beautiful coin, for sure. As for the picture - try moving your lights a little bit. The bottom crescent of the coin is really dark and hard to...
Easier to say for US coins. If you collect foreign coins, they are quite often not in the US. A large portion of my foreign coins have been...
