Oooh, well not exactly Masonic, I think, but along the same lines. Knights of Pythias [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
No standing Serapis but I have this one with busts of Gordian III and Serapis and then a standing Hercules [ATTACH]
The coin, to me, looks cast not struck. Id be worried about those lines on the rim at 10 o'clock on the obverse. Are there any authentic...
Yeah who is this buyer? If he also sells, I want to make sure I never buy from them.
Yeah I noticed that too. On the obverse between 5 and 7 o'clock the rim is a bit thin as well but yet a fin is present. The bevel is definitely on...
Yes indeed. I think what I despise most is the fact they are either worn and uglier and cheap, or in MS and expensive and slightly less ugly....

Alright crack out was a success [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And here the coin can stand on it's own with ease [ATTACH]

Ive decided to crack it out and send it to PCGS. Ill see if I can get some pictures of the edge once its out.
I was unable to tell about the S in PLURIBUS. There is some gunk in the loops. I believe that is correct. That the coin was submitted as a...
What bugs me is that this 1910 does have some weak squared rims, not as thick as my 1912 matte proof. But the edge is squared and polished from...
Wow amazing read. Now Im gonna be looking at all my early MS Lincolns tonight. That C scratch is fascinating. As for the recess on the second 1,...
Rim's are pretty square even with nice fins too. The edges are definitely thick and square and even have that bit of reflectiveness like a proof....
Well like I said I already contacted NGC with my pics and they said they think is was struck with retired proof dies. So idk if they are the ones...
