I've only got one of those. It is so dark I've thought about having it professionally cleaned. I think it's a 1857 but just going from memory....
Here's another. Photos are still my Waterloo. Rim damage on both the obverse and reverse. 5 oclock on the obverse, 1 o'clock on the reverse....
What do we have here part deaux. I tried the can method for photos but I'll need a bigger can, the flash doesn't have room to get light in it....
Isn't it just another certification that gets stickered on the outside of a previously graded coin, in addition to the original graded service?...
That's a lot of toning! I have a few Silver Eagles with some toning, but nothing like that. When I say "Pops", I mean it captivates your eye. It...
Oh I know. But looking at NGC's price guide, possible grade is everything for common coins. Huge difference in price. It's not a big deal for a...
35 mm camera. I've still got a flip phone. The heck with Apple and Bill Gates. ;)
Have you seen the ones without it? Just sayin...... lol
I got tired of taking the coin out of the holders. I have plenty of them, but still a pain. I got lazy and said well, you know. The can idea...
Here is another coin, without the same brilliant finish, although it seemingly has far fewer imperfections. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't know enough to even understand what that means. I do know unless I turn on the macro setting, it's really an abomination. Have you seen my...
I found some really nice pieces in paper coin roll wrappers. That's a shame. They could have done better. 40 + years in a paper roll. :banghead:...
Here she is. Obverse and reverse don't have the same lamination stripe. Mind you, these have been sitting in a vault no less that 40-50 years ago....
No. lol......wow. That one is crazy.:woot:
Thank you all for your replies, positive or negative. I'm learning the hard way, and you guys help. Not looking for pats on the back, attaboys,...
I thought that too, until I noticed it went completely through the rim cap, like it was never connected. I apologize about my photos, I'm new and...
I'll try to get a pic tomorrow of an example. What would cause a coin to have a different tone that is striped across the face. I'm not talking...
Been playing around with my camera's macro setting. Still not a great photo, will continue experimenting with settings and lighting. At 8 o'clock...
I still haven't figured out this photo posting/size/clarity deal. I'm new, apologies! Even worse, I don't know where the flip side photo went....
Part of my late father's collection, I was passed down 34 of these sovereign pieces, mixed dates and mints. I almost had a heart attack when I...
