Bowers' Universal Rarity Scale (URS) is garbage. There. I said it. The traditional Sheldon scale, if adapted to population realities of each...
I've seen more 1964 dimes in circulation than 2024 coins this year.
Don't get me started on "lense".
Putting a chip in the slab is part of it. Having an entire system that includes a remote app that reads the chip and further communicates with a...
I'm assuming PCGS has some patent(s) covering their, so there might be IP issues with them doing.
NGC launched this at the ANA show last year. I have one of the same sample slabs shown above.
A toner you'll really like will be quite a bit north of $225. What I would do is scope out an 1882-S in MS65 that has a more concave look to the...
Notice the clash marks are only on the obverse. These came from when it was paired with the VAM 2 reverse.
Two entirely different things. The patch on the lower right obverse field where the luster is suddenly different is not a hit or a bag mark....
Wheel mark in front of Liberty's neck? If you wanted to pay for reholdering, you could get it holdered reverse up. This is a great 8TF variety....
For VAM 3A, what matters is the partial 'n' clash in front of Liberty's neck that is in the specification. I assume this is visible on this coin,...
I had a conversation with John Feigenbaum last week. Among other things we chatted about, CPG 6.3 is coming out this summer.

That's a juicy fingerprint gone bad. The "Bugs Bunny" clash is not very strong on some. As it is a clash mark, it likely shows up on several die...
I found the most recent auction it was bought from but didn't look further.
Central States is an easy show for me to attend. 10 minutes drive, 15 if I miss the two left turn arrows. I got to the show at about 9:10 Thursday...
Agree that it's VAM 6A given the rim cud. Only a few die pairs with that low mintage.
I get refunds on about 1/3 of Express Mail stuff.
I'll be there Thursday through Saturday, table 805 doing pictures, also wandering looking for stuff now and then.

Separate names with a comma.
