My grade 62RB - for some reason the obverse weak strike is not to my liking(just my opinion based on the picture) and I agree with the others...
Well first I thought "in god we trust" must all be missing to be a "godless" coin??? Not really sure about that. To me it looks like a grease...
Nice coins Stainless.
Wow - you guys are almost making me want to go buy an ancient. Nice examples and a good post on lighting.
More like a combination. The reverse reminds me of longacre doubling - secondary image around the outside of the wreath. The obverse looks like...
Take a duplicate and insert in each hole to stretch it. Usually makes the real coin go in nicely. I did have some problems with state quarters,...
Well from the article in the cherry pickers guide on the deepest part of the die and with die grease and die wear I would assume that would vary...
Well you are doing good! Some of them are real beauties like that bust dollar. The only disappointing thing is - no US large cents. :) Very nice...
Glad to be of service and that is one nice reverse for a buffalo nickel. I was browsing the album - is that your collection? If so you have some...

No offense - but I work with several dealers to get coins in the grades that I like - does that make me a non-real collector? Next to win registry...
I agree - get the cherry pickers guide. And if you search on this site for strike doubling or machine doubling you will find a bunch of posts.
Those are great pickups Jim and I really like them. I agree a circulated set that looked like that would be very nice indeed.
It is tough letting the coins go like that and I would not use an airtite. But when my father sends them in - it is two rubber bands to secure...
Switch to wazoo - watch some classic college hoops. Ky versus vandy is on right now. :) And some people(not me) might want to ban yakpoo just...
EFJ - extra fine jewelry. :)
You are not the only one. I thought I read somewhere that they charged $10 to see if a coin got the * designation and I did not know that was only...
