LOL, nothing inferior here! It's just that the way the scope lights the coin makes it a little harder to tell what's going on, whereas a strong...
For $30 grand plus, I could get a really nice XRF gun, and have enough money left over to speculate on lots of questionable coins and then check...
It takes a whole lot to get me to pay the Mint's commemorative premiums. I paid it for the Apollo coins, but none since. But this dollar design...
Nope.
That's a lot better! It doesn't look to me like a coin that lost weight due to etching. Thin planchet would be my next guess, although it...
Not really. I've always preferred natural redheads.
I love pattern coins. I love "what-if?"s in general. I like many pattern designs better than the designs that were eventually accepted, although...
I think you need to adjust the color settings on your monitor. :rolleyes:
It seems like I've seen worse than that on photos of other clean-graded classic proofs. On the positive side: I don't see the marks on devices,...

It seems like you've been posting a long string of auctions for really questionable Morgans. What's your goal here? Are you just bargain-hunting...
It looks like they're improving the typography and color gradient on the fake labels. :(
It's been four years, and I still flinch every time I see that Liberty-getting-the-back-of-her-head-blown-off design. :yack:
Yep, thiourea and the acid of your choice, diluted as appropriate. Good old Kurt B. used to swear by a Kodak formulation with citric acid and...
Working at a manufacturing job in full 1800s neck-to-toe layered clothing. In New Orleans. Well before the advent of air conditioning. How our...
Holy cow -- even damaged $1 and $2.50 gold goes for more than spot! Great score! Given what you've described, I would (carefully) remove the...
Acetone is claimed to sometimes change the color of copper coins, but vinegar almost always WILL change the color of copper coins, in a completely...
Dang. Now I am feeling a little remorse for not ordering one.
Separate names with a comma.
