Even the ANA standards permit fingerprints up to and including 64. TPG standards permit them in higher grades as well. Get a half dollar and...
They probably don't come in cool white. Most bulbs manufactured for use in the home are made with what they call warm white. It is easier on the...
The 126 coins in question were Goodacre coins.
That is a fingerprint. Yes that color toning is quite normal. Especially for coins from this time period. Coins from the '30s and '40s often...
I pretty much agree about the RED. It just isn't.
The toning is quite normal Ruben, not unsual at all. Not sure what you mean by waving pattern on the obv or rev.
They are errors in a way Ruben. Somehow they missed the burnishing process. Probably the planchets got stuck in the hopper and just bypassed it....
I would think it would be obvious. First of all the coin has subdued luster. Black gunk like that doesn't just appear on a coin - it takes time....
It's not that they were supposed to be melted, it's that they were supposedly melted. Big difference in the two words.
I wish I knew when this coin was slabbed because 5 or 6 years ago NGC would have given it a 64 without question, but no higher than that. But...
Personally, I think the coin got the bump for the color. Too many hits to make 67, but they are well hidden by the toning. Hits on the forehead,...
I suspect that coin has already been through NCS. I would not do it again.
Fair enough - gimme another possibility then. Again fair enough. But find me a 66 with marks like these. Those are not part of the fingerprint.
I would have to say AU. The coin seems lacking in luster. This date and mint are usually very lustrous.
The ones (Goodacre vs regular) that I have compared side by side are quite different. The Goodacre coins are in much better condition, better...
What a lot of people fail to realize when talking about lights is that there are several types of bulbs for each type of light. And each bulb has...
I know it's medal more because of what it doesn't have than it what it does have. And that's mainly because I use dto collect French coinage of...
Interesting, never seen one that far off and wouldn't have imagined it possible. Until now that is. Larry, I know of no sites anywhere that do...
I am in MST actually.
I'd go along with you on that Conder but that ASE doesn't seem to have much luster left either. 'Course all I have is a pic to look at. But...
