Interesting. Are there any pics of proposed designs? Or did you mean they'd be recycling the Sesquicentennial design of a hundred years ago?...
I see nothing too objectionable in the photos, but if there is something sticky on there I would try pure acetone to remove it, or rubbing alcohol...
I personally believe your coin to be authentic, and it looks nice with that contrasting grey CircCam toning. The type is Numista-16514 and...
Here's a small, grainy, ancient flatbed scanner image from about 25 years ago, when I had a PCGS Registry Modern Type Set. This PR67 likely...
Today's type is the Jefferson Nickel 35% Silver (1942-45). Also commonly referred to as the "War Nickel". I currently lack a Jefferson War nickel...
Here’s a ketos (sea monster) snatching a fish, underneath the crab on this Akragas coin. Greece (Sicily, Akragas): ca. 425-406 BC silver...
I’m not sure you could properly call a winged lion a gryphon (I thought gryphons had a lion’s body and an eagle’s head?) But a winged lion still...
That’s a tough call, because of the nice toning on the BN example. I think I slightly prefer the RD myself, but the BN is quite nice. I can see...
Thank you. That’s the kind I referred to. While I prefer the hand-carved ones, those are cool too. I like the owl. “VAMPIRE FRANÇAIS” is...
That’s one reason I don’t put any text in my templates. If I did, I would invariably miss stuff like that myself.
Anybody want a gold Wildman coin with a shipwreck pedigree? I mean, how cool is that? :greedy:
Nothing wrong with that, if you’re overpaying with open eyes, and know that you’re doing so.
Those of us who do Ancients are quite familiar with the term. One of my better Romans even had some done (note NGC’s “lt. smoothing” note.) Of...
If I didn’t already have this MS63 (and I hadn’t also had a circulated example quite similar to yours), I think I’d have cheerfully paid $400 (or...
Another griffin/gryphon. [IMG]

Hi. It is time for me to again attempt a birthyear set of 1965 coins. I want them in PCGS plastic with TrueView images. Technical grade does not...
Yes, it does have very sharp details to it.
That's what I wonder. I wouldn't guess whizzed, because I'd expect to see parallel lines if that were the case. Edit: aha. I just read the...
Separate names with a comma.
