Fantastic idea for a new thread. Because as much as I hate this reverse, there are some that are far worse.
Honestly, it doesn't really look like scaling or lighting effects. None of the other pictures he's posted recently show this artifact. And the way...
It's a hell of a lot easier when you have good pictures to grade from.
I still remember the first coin I spent more than $2k on (this was in 2009) .... It was this 1806 Draped Bust half. At the time, I was pretty...
We didn't get anything here in Charleston, not even leaves in my yard. Everything was in Myrtle Beach and north of there, starting about a 2 hour...
In that case, that is an absolutely stunning example of what original gold should look like. For those who may be reading this thread but are...
The photos are too dark and out of focus to grade from, but PCGS usually does pretty well with this sort of material. In hand, I'll bet it has...
Not sure how I missed this thread. I would have guessed 66. Very nice coin.

I'm kinda surprised at how the entire country sorta went "Meh" at these. I would have thought that a cause like breast cancer would have gotten...
Your camera is tilted with respect to the coins - all of them are in focus at the top and out of focus at the bottom. And that clip is...
Ooh, I was wondering where I could get the latest Royal Canadian Mint Commemorative! Let me pile on the holographic colored dual metal 3-d relief...
THOSE. ARE. AMAZING!!!!! I think the Italian States one is my favorite - I'm not sure I've ever seen one so fully struck, perfectly centered, and...
How true is the color to in-hand? Does it have exactly that shade, or is the color off a bit? I'll tell you why I ask after you respond.
One of the reasons so much Spanish and French coinage circulated in the colonies is because a lot of the British stuff didn't. Many of the...
The acetone will not hurt the coin, but if there is anything on the surface that is causing the corrosion, you need to remove that (someone likely...
Wow, that is something you don't see everyday! Surfaces: There appears to be a bit of shininess that is a bit unusual underneath the toning. It...
Show us pictures if you can, but almost certainly fake.
It has a very old cleaning on the obverse, but it has retoned in an attractive manner. The reverse is quite attractive. If you like the coin,...
Where are these 6-petaled flowers? Why are Bahia mint coins so much rarer? Looks extremely nice, congrats!
