I thought for sure the wife was going to kill me when I bought it....but she's a pretty smart cookie. Her comment was, "A bill that beautiful and...
I got it from John Markis / Trusted Traditions out of So. Florida. Can't remember if it was off of eBay or from his mailing list.
One of the things that drives me nuts about grading...especially the TPGs is that appears as if grading on any given coin is not simply on the...
This is my favorite note from my collection. Thought I'd share it.
I had a similar experience at National City Bank. About 3 years ago when the Mint was changing the designs on the reverse of the nickel, I went...
Nice commems. Hard to see from the pix, but the Iowa looks cleaner than a 63, especially compared to the GWC. What aren't the photos showing?
Well, no luck with the digital. It doesn't have a macro function....and my old 35mm SLR for which I do have a macro lens can't get close enough....
My all time favorite is the Oregon Trail. Both Obverse and Reverse are stunning designs. Closely following is the Connecticut. In third place is...
I've noticed that as of late most newly certified notes at the big shows and in auction listings are using either PCGS or PMG (the currency branch...
Shhhhhh......don't tell anyone. By the time Martin Van Buren comes out they'll be enough mini prezes to take over the world!!!!...
Let's leave Pugs out of this, please. I've always felt their homeliness is endearing...and they can't help the way they look, unlike the...
Not sure if the wife's digital has a macro feature. I'll see what I can do. Makes me long for the days when I had access to an Olympus with a...
I have a 36 -D in a NGC 65 holder. You made me curious so I went and looked..Sure enough, the mintmark appears as if it was re-punched. Mine...
A couple of rambling thoughts here. They are my opinions only and I present them as such with all due respect to others with opposing points of...
Thems are the toughies. What grade range are you trying to find them in?
For the life of me, I can't see any of the doubling you're speaking of....except the camera doubling ;) Boy would THAT be a great coin to own :D...
Cool Shuckins! Which ones are left?
Thanks for the input. I'm sending it off to get certified. I'll get some better photos and let you know what the TPGs think when it comes back.
Am I being looney or is there an image of a face in the shadows near the rim just below the 9 O'Clock on the Reverse? When I look at Corn...
The sails are clean, no wear. The shadowing on the sail is an artifact of the photo. The coin has a creamy luster that doesn't translate well in...
Separate names with a comma.
