Gotcha, thanks. I guess I was interpreting the blues as areas of toning from contact with a paper envelope. Learned something!
I think he's using an arbitrarily small number by modern standards. I think his point is, if (random number) has had (random large percentage)...
I think in the previous Great Melts, many rare coins were melted because people didn't understand the rarity. I'd really like to think that...
Yes, that's my point. I don't see anything from these pictures that indicates cleaning. However, Greg is highly experienced and I trust him. If...
Do many people weigh Constitutional? I've always just seen it as multiples of face. I think that assumes a F-VF wear... you'll get some slicks and...

The auction number is visible and it's public knowledge so I have nothing to hide.... I only spent $4162.50 with buyers fee on this piece. Help...
It's even purdier in hand.
Thanks man. Haven't had a chance to take my own photos of it yet which is why I hadn't shown it off... but P&G gave me no other choice ;) If you...
I guess I can drop this here... as you may know, PL double dimes are incredibly scarce. 20 cent pieces in general are rare, but they aren't widely...
