I just finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago, and highly recommend it. Well researched, well documented, and completely changed what I...
I saw that, but I guess I didn't realize that's what he was excited about. Most of the rolls of cents I send to the bank have extra 40's and 50's...
What exactly happened?
The way that area seems to be shinier than the surrounding area seems to indicate some sort of damage. It could be a wheel mark, but those don't...
Still catching up on coins I've bought in the past year or two that I haven't posted yet. Here's a beauty. Got this one last year, but it has an...
Wow. I think you might have a half way decent coin at the end of all this! Granted, it might have been less than $20 for the coin, but you're...
Is @BadThad in the house? He might have some ideas of what's going on.
Did you happen to take a "before" picture of the coin? How does it look now? I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but "deep purple" is not the...
Wow, that is a fairly significant MAD. It is unusual to find them so far off. Very nice!
Several of them are privately owned and trade every few years. One actually sold last month for $4.2 million.

Larry - I really can't say if yours are original or not, but you may have accidentally bought something really interesting. The first one appears...
No, artificial toning cannot be induced in that pattern with those colors with those characteristics with that quality. (yet)
The incredible, rich, multi-rotation rainbow toning with impeccable textile centered on the cheek... that is a magnificent coin. The price it...
To be honest, I haven't really tracked Franklin prices much recently. I built a really nice set on the NGC Registry, but I sold that over 10 years...
I agree with your assessment of the strike. Not a chance of FBL. Luster looks a bit weak, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt based on how...
So somebody counterfeited an Omega counterfeit? Wow. What's next, fake Hennings?
Good guesses everyone! PCGS said AU-50, and yes, it is an O-108. The die crack at the top of the obverse helps with identification.
Ooh, was one of them secretly made by the Franklin Mint? ;) Haha, just teasing, of course. I have no idea, I'll have to let a specialist answer.
