100% agree. The NGC coin has considerably more wear, far less details, looks much darker, and has a rough texture. Ignoring price completely (I...
I don't think I've seen a "well made" counterfeit where the chin just completely disappears like that.
Looks like a great show! The size of the show seems perfect for a good day. And your bourbon dealer friend is missing the good stuff ;) [ATTACH]

Acetone won't hurt the coins, but it will remove the smoke and nicotine a lot more effectively than just water.

I think you know more than most, and I always enjoy your educational threads. I'm not saying you need to do a thread on them... but I think you...

I've never seen a prooflike arrows or rays, so I don't own one :(
Oh yeah, man. Miller literally wrote the book on Morgans!
That was a fascinating history, thanks!
The NGC photos do not show a DMPL coin.
Fantastic read, thanks!
I agree with G6. I really want the rim to be complete for a VG8. And, as for the rim damage... it could go either way. They tend to be quite...
Yeah, 40 seems like a fair grade for that. I see luster, but not much. The level of wear feels right for XF. As for eye appeal... this is the...
Doug described the what, but why would someone do this is also important. It's a method of doctoring a coin. By filling in any scratches, hits, or...
Here's a cool one I don't see posted often. These are called "gun money" shillings, and were made from melted cannons, bells, and other items. One...
Very cool list. Do you collect seige money? I don't know much about it, but I'd love to see a thread dedicated to the topic.
