To be honest the lighting and the color of the image make it tough to tell much about breaks in luster. It has the look of AU-50.
I agree. They do great on everything but the price.
I just made it home myself. Wow what a big show. Only had two days and now wish I had planed for four.
Sunnywood's collection is worth the time to check out. Really cool.
It's still a mystery to me as well Jazz. I have never seen an encasement with the detail to account for this, but I see no other explanation. Yes...
Hi Tony and Welcome. May I ask about the images? When the coin was flipped to take the image of the second side, did they keep the same...
No way to know the degree of rotation from the images. 90 degrees sounds right for a premium. Has anyone ever seen a Merc. with 180 rotation?
Edge shots are a bit tough but this is what I could manage for now. These two images are at 3 oclock. The edge is dished out (concave).[IMG][IMG]...
Is it possible some work was done to the coin. Below IC in AMERICA and above O in ONE?

I'll be at the fun show next week but I don't think the TPG's would care to see it. I'll take it with me and show it to a few folks there.
As posted early in this thread, It weighs 3.22. There is no way someone did this by hand. It was either part of an encasement or it came from...
On an FE in this condition I actually worry if it's not dark around the lettering. It should be. It's a VF something and looks just right for the...
I don't see anything that would make me think cleaned. At the same time the white balance is a bit off in the image. Something could be hiding but...
I finally had some time to play a bit. Most ensasement holders were struck with the coin in the holder, but I won't say all were. I could post...
If you don't mind paying for it, Coin Elite is a great program. It's the easy way out of building a sheet in Excel. Edit to add link....
I'll be there Thursday and Friday.
Lincoln medals and plaques are my favorite. Clash die Flying Eagle cents are a close second. An early US type set in proof and business strike is...
