I think this thread will be far more valuable if you tell us exactly what coin and what inputs you gave this ai.... and exactly what output it...
Really cool piece. A few questions: - what drew you to this particular piece? - is this part of a series based on Napoleonic battles? or part...
Let's be clear - I love the concept of these. The whole reverse proof thing is cool. I hate the execution of them. The laser application of the...
No. The die itself is laser etched.
You know I can't advertise my own book here! (but, hush hush, you can check my signature below...)
Agree with planchet flaw.
Partially correct. Luster is, first and foremost, created by the metal of the coin flowing into the recesses of the dies. That is why most luster...
Everyone saying woody is very wrong. Please take a look at actual woodgrain toning. This is not it. This severe damage. This coin is worth what it...

I see they still haven't solved the "snakeskin" problem. What a distinctly unattractive proof coin.
What an incredibly reductive way to describe nearly every coin... a thin piece of metal worth it's intrinsic value.
This came across my feed. I found it to be very interesting - the US Mint Director grew up as a collector, and really seems genuinely passionate...
I completed the set in NGC FBLs, with the obvious exception of the 53S. Very rewarding experience, but definitely tough!
When you say "modified" what do you mean exactly? Are these done at the mint or by some after-market party?
The problem with requiring grade/condition - a lot of the people selling and a lot of the people buying have no idea! If it's certified all they...
Not exactly... PCGS uses only the *bottom* set of bell lines to judge FBL. Those are usually more distinct. NGC uses *both* sets of bell lines to...
66, easy. It would be a 65 without the toning. My only real concern is the bump on Franklin's cheek, but the rest of the coin is smooth....
My biggest concern is that the edges of the so-called second strike are not tapered the way the genuine picture shows. The edges are straight,...
