I'm at 3 with full steps: 42-S, 43-P, & 43-D. My photos are good but they really don't do the luster on these coins justice. The S mint coins...
Maybe you and PCGS define abrasive differently. Furthermore, PCGS not strictly adhering to their own standards is a different issue than whether...
One of my favorite catalog descriptions is minimally abraded.
I bought this collection housed in a Capital Plastics holder about a year ago and just got around to imaging the coins tonight. I had forgotten...
So you happen to be part of the small percentage of collectors who does understand that. Perhaps instead of using it as a cudgel, you could...

The toning correspondence on the dime does not match which is a huge indicator of AT. The obverse displays a color pattern that is unusual in...
I'm not judging him based on his post count. What I am saying is that you can't elevate him to expert status when he only has 150 posts. Before...
These coins are displaying/mimicking target toning that is caused by an album. You need the reverse photos to see if the toning correspondence is...
