Update: Looks like it did end up in a 65 holder. When I zoom in on the Heritage pictures, it looks like a mediocre 65. Linky
Rats. This ends up in a 65 holder sooner or later. Very clean for a 64. I agree that if anything would have kept if from 65, it would be the...
I assume (well, I hope) that they use encryption to secure the key on the chip and that they keep secure keys for decryption locked up at PCGS,...
The eye appeal for that coin seems average, which is in line with a grade of MS63, but it's hard to tell without better pictures. When you're...
An example of what? I can't tell from those pictures if you're inferring the coin is 65BN or 58, and either way, you provide an anecdotal example...
Not a match for any of the 37-D RPMs on Variety Vista. Given the state of preservation, I'm going to come down on the side of saying "equivocal."
It's a faked error (squeeze job made to look like a clash) on a fake coin. The Chinese are getting into doing these, too.
I thought Ford vs. Chevy was scheduled for next week.
I'll join in for this coin. I agree about the strike and luster both being fantastic on this one. They both help the coin. The color shows...
66. This has what the 1900 Indian cent didn't -- clean prime focal areas. Great, flashy luster and clean fields. Strike is good, although the...
65. Hits are minor, the mark on the cheek is not bad. Gold gathers more scuffiness than silver. Luster looks pretty good, fields are clean,...
Really nice 65. Luster is great, surfaces quite clean, except for some small hits in prime focal areas (nose, cheekbone, central reverse) that...
The opportunity lies in making either extra tall lids that fit PCGS boxes or a spacer "collar" that snapped between the top and bottom. About...
Not to put words in his mouth, but the current NGC slab surfaces are more irregular than those of the PCGS slabs. This is especially noticeable...
Like anything, it can be time consuming until you figure out your workflow, starting with taking and post-processing the 6 photos. Software used...
6 frames. The way a GIF works, I have to embed each frame in the order it's shown, so it's put together as 1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2. Frame 1 and 6...
This is 3.2 MB [ATTACH]
I've also done GIFs for certain coins. Mostly if it's a coin that you can't stop looking at while tilting it around in the light. 6 shots, loop...
To answer the original question, I present coins so they get sold and not returned. You want the coin in hand to just barely beat the expectation...
I have one, but I don't use it for coins. I prefer to have more direct and precise control over the lighting, and a diffusion tent doesn't give...
Separate names with a comma.
