I bought this coin a while back in a third world slab even though I knew it was artificially toned simply because I find the coin very attractive....
Alright error guys, what is going on with the rims of this IHC. It is raw and I bought it for the toning. Just noticed the rims. [IMG] [IMG]...
That may be true. However, it is also true that your grading standards are almost a whole grade more conservative than both NGC & PCGS which puts...
Considering they are untoned, the focus of the quality and associated text will have to be related to strike and luster.
Funny how coins look blast white until you take a photo. [IMG] BTW, I can't grade from your photos, just a bit too small.
I have been kicking around the idea of creating a blast white registry collection of Jefferson war nickels. The purpose would be so that I...
I for one am amazed that you guys can grade the surfaces of a proof coin from a photograph. That is a skill that I don't think I will ever...

Mike, WHY?
While I will agree that PCGS is more conservative in their grading of Jefferson Nickels than NGC, I would not go so far as to say that they...
I don't know what the keywords are but I know that the return of the TOTW (Thread of the week) and the TOTW Hall of Fame would help keep great...
If the only reason is to be able to trace pedigrees, then having a name that transcends ownership should be more desireable not less. Regardless...
What misinformation? The label shows the coin as the "Hawaii Five O" coin which is correct, it is. IMO, this is a discussion of semantics....
My photos are very accurate. The seller would have you believe that the coin blasts you with green when in fact the coin appears brown at most...
The seller posted a link to his E-Bay auction in the Open forum and is a member of Cointalk. I don't care about the seller's photos as I had a...
