I agree, the kool-aid drinkers are the loudest. Having said that, most of the top experts are also members of the NGC forum as well which leaves...
If he is testing the waters, he is doing it with every coin he is selling (including other Jeffersons) as they are all listed at the PCGS price...
In my routine search for registry quality Jefferson Nickels on E-Bay, I ran across this auction....
I cleaned it up for you a little. This new photo looks great btw. Excellent job and nice coin for $10. A man after my own heart with a passion...
I like the look of this coin and I agree that your pictures are not doing it justice. I see patches of cobalt blue on the peripheries and some...

It is not odd that the field and devices look the same, that is what a polished coin looks like.:D
This topic came up a while back. The solution is to use a circulating dollar coin and mass produce $2 bills. The strippers have not gotten a...

While I agree that green is probably the most difficult color to achieve in the AT process, that alone does not preclude it from being AT. Here...
That depends. Do you want your photos to look like this [IMG] or like this: [IMG] I give the same advice to anyone looking to take better...
Travis, One day you will come out of the closet and admit your undying love for the Jefferson Nickel. In fact, I might have to send you one for...
