Looks nice. I'd call it XF, but you're still ahead of where you were when you bought it.
That's the one mint I don't have in my collection. Nice coin!
Got this from a recent CNG sale. 1489 Groot of Philip the Handsome from Antwerp. Still need 1487 and 1493 to complete the run of 1481 to present....
PCGS uses a different scale -- the PCGS CoinFacts Rarity Scale™. It's a classic example of precision without accuracy, having 92 different rarity...
In order for the information to be useful, it has to be managed like a population report. A single, comprehensive source updated at predictable...
R-numbers are always estimates. Sometimes they're based on a lot of data, like rigorous surveys of collections, and sometimes they're estimates....

It's also good for loosening goo from stickers. For the scratches, you need less than a drop, then wipe it across the slab face with your finger....
Ultra-Pure Lamp Oil. I also use this as valve oil (see avatar). $10 worth will probably last you the rest of your life. Bring your own dropper...

Impressive that it was effective on something as light as a dime. How long did it take? The micro O is the mint mark punch for the quarter....
While a key date and expensive, they're frequently enough available that you should be able to be selective in your purchase. Don't buy the first...
Didn't have to pay for it, so it's not a newp. Got it today. Goes nicely with my PCGS and NGC ones. [ATTACH]
Denver didn't do anything. All dies were made in Philadelphia. By chance, the one with the strongest overdate (a form of design hub doubling)...
I'll have a burnished half-enhanced reverse proof with soy milk and 2 pumps of sugar-free caramel.
Those at VAM Thing XXII at the FUN show got to see this in hand, as did a couple other people that were in the right place at the right time. A...
The reason some are not that visible is in part because of the hubbing process. It takes 7-10 blows with the hub to make a die, with the die...
Coming soon. :)
