The thing I'm struck with for the 09-S VDB.... It is a famous key date. It is wildly popular. But it is also incredibly available. There are...
Apparently I missed the accidental slab shot, so I'm coming to this fresh: Strike: For a first year issue, this coin seems to be missing...
I like the handwritten correction to the denomination. That coin has a haze to it that I don't like. Is the package PVC?
Well that's ironic. Newman's own book isn't on the Newman portal.
The value of this set is going to be highly dependent on the condition of the coins. Those pictures show that there are coins, but it is very...
Oh, gotcha. I misunderstood your post. I do not have a microscope camera, this is a regular DSLR that I have tethered to the computer.
That's entirely up to you, and your intentions for the coin. If you plan on putting it in an album or dansco or something, then I would do that....
PVC is usually going to be more greenish, especially that much of it. It could be yellow, sometimes. Tape residue is usually going to be...
That particular coin looks to have led a rough life, and yes, there was likely something applied to it. I've not seen cents turn those colors...
I like this one at 45. I think there is just a touch too much wear and not enough luster for AU. And its definitely not a 53!
I would imagine Newman's guide would be on the Newman Numismatic Portal, isn't it?
You can find very high quality examples of both MS and PR. It just depends on what you want. Cameo is nice, but it's going to cost more of course....
Your experience and mine have been very different, apparently. I've had the same Canon T3i for 6 years now, through two different computers. I...
Little sister is cool cause they have a hole in it: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The design is supposed to look like an old rotary phone. I have no idea how to use one of those.
I would ask to try some of what you're smoking, but it's probably illegal in my state. ;) And I agree, definitely not.
Somebody took a "1944" punch and a "1994" punch to the reverse, probably to celebrate the 50th anniversary of something. The coin should not...
Congrats on completing the set! It's always a proud moment to see something you've built reach completion.
62. Lot of pretty severe marks on that coin. I don't see any trace of wear, so I won't call it AU. As I recall, these came straight from mint...
The second 1882CC is the clear winner of the bunch for me. Several of these have an extreme amount of marks on her cheek, and this one is clearly...
Separate names with a comma.
