Not sure of the KM number. It's from Utrecht.
One of today's accomplishments at the ANA show today was buying a nice mid-17th century piece of gold that fits both my Prime Number set and my...
We're four coins into this experiment. If people use each coin as an opportunity to learn just a little more about how to use Heritage's pictures...
Why don't they just have places that make cheap souvenir enamel pins just make a whole bunch of product and then call them coins? The...
:woot: The Heritage glamour shots are not good for grading. Actually, they're just plain not good. Luster and fine surface detail are totally...
They use a 10x glass when they're suspicious or looking at varieties, otherwise it's less (or even no) magnification.
Totally new management, but that doesn't mean you won't.
As for Coin Community Forum, I have an account there, but only stop by when summoned. The presentation is an eyesore that hampers usability, and...
He's on the PCGS forum again, doing fine. You can ask him there. ;)
I can't tell from the pictures. There are a lot of VAMs for 1904-O that are similar to each other. The approximate mint mark and date positions...
So when PCGS changed their boxes from green to blue, it corresponded with a major change in the label from the green ones to the first blue ones....

I'm on a roll! I agree with your assessment of why MS64. As for the concensus being 1.9 points low, it made me wonder about the way grades are...
This. If you post a dime or half dime, this effect will become more pronounced. People need to remember how coins are graded and back away from...
I have one of those on my desk right now. I use it for shooting variety close-ups through my microscope eyepiece. I've shot tens of thousands of...
I'm at 66. Not a great 66, but still 66. The spottiness on the picture without the slab is exaggerated when you compare with the other picture....
I do remember him, but I can't say I remember the Mercury dime challenge. First point-and-shoot I bought was in 2004, and I had already been...
It looks pretty much like I envisioned. Yes, I was.
Error coins and coins tilted in the holder can cause problems in this department, and using f11 or f16 will help somewhat. You should also have a...
Separate names with a comma.
