A list of the top 10 places to buy a BU Morgan that would get you a better deal than buying one from a TV show of self-graded coins would likely...
You accidentally posted an interesting coin for illustrating this. That's a 1921 high relief, which will have different clashing characteristics...
Since I was tagged above, I'll also say it was a clash as others have said. That particular clash isn't considered in the VAM listings, since it...
NGC probably won't attribute this one, but it doesn't matter, since the VAM community doesn't take their attributions seriously. ANACS will grade...
See if you can remove the mint mark in acetone.
There's almost no difference in price between a 1917 Ty. 1 in 63 and 63FH, since that issue is typically very well struck. The FH designation...
I would have said you probably get pretty numb to it, assuming you're referring to one ASE after another.
On their "variety plus" page, they only list the 1955, and they specifically call it "Bugs Bunny." I don't have my CPG in front of me, but I...
Fun strategy, nice coin!
I did look at them. The lines on the Kennedy halves through the R in TRUST are die polishing lines and not hairlines. Yeah, I almost left out...

There are such things as low grade, problem free coins. The quarter pictured seems to be one such coin, as far as I can tell. The date is a big...
2015 marked the year in which I actually completed a set -- 50-coin classic commems. Bought the Hawaiian at the FUN show in January.
10 o'clock looks like a print eating its way into the surface. The spot by the date is of a different nature from those on more modern silver...
Ack! Forgot to post. Got a 1/10 oz. silver round and some cents (and a penny). [IMG]
And here's an example of a variety close-up I shot today illustrating why I don't want color. 1878 VAM 122, MS63 with medium dark toning with...
(referring to my setup) I don't care about the color when documenting varieties, and actually don't even want the color, as it is distracting...
Pour a glass of your favorite adult beverage and open your VAM book to Chapter 18.
I use a Bausch & Lomb StereoZoom 4 and a point-and-shoot. Fluorescent ring light with a card taped over about 1/3 of it gives me even lighting...
Gotta wonder what "experts" were surveyed here. The 1913 nickel is easy to find if you have enough money. One comes up for auction every few...
Separate names with a comma.
