I have two more, slightly more subtle, but fun observations. 4. Look closely at the faint lines on the top coin. These dies are workhorses that...
This is a great explanation and I won’t try to improve upon it. But I will post two examples to show the difference between the business, or...
It’s a personal choice certainly, but I consider a set to be complete with one example of each year and mint. Some people like to add the major...
LOL - I'll keep trying. I think we are seeing irregularities in the planchet that were not completely flattened out during striking. At the 11:00...
If NGC worked with the seller and certified the coin within the eBay listing itself, they would only get paid once per listing. By working with...

I just bought an UNC DETAILS (Obverse Wheel Mark) 1930 Lincoln Cent. The auction listing at David Lawrence started at $10 and listed an expected...
Love the color. Nice.
If I win do I get to keep it? B. I like the superior detail. The jaw has a smooth strike without the residual planchet marks that are so common....
Cool enough that if someone (and volunteers) did a thread, we could all feel like we were there. Touring a show floor is chaotic at best, so even...
This 1935 Mercury was just 22.50 from a large eBay dealer. There is a small reverse scratch that I cannot see with the naked eye. [ATTACH]

New photos, replacing the ones from 2 1/2 years ago. [ATTACH]
