This coin has a really nice, full set of bell lines. This is an extremely good strike, and is one of the best sets of bell lines you'll see. The...
Look at the discoloration on the high points, specifically his cheek and jawbone. Those areas are where the wear will occur first - and this coin...
100%, no questions asked fake. Look at the overall "mushiness" of the design - a true struck coin will have sharp, crisp detail.
I'm surprised they didn't let the 1806 quarter pass. I've seen far worse examples graded. I'm guessing they weren't a fan of the color, and I'll...

I think that part of the problem we are having with your argument is that you aren't giving us an alternative. There are clearly coins which exist...
This is a rather specialized area - unless you visit a dealer of Canadian coins, or a foreign coin dealer with a large selection of Canadians, you...
Hoop, I'm hoping that my upcoming experiment will help with the contaminant front.
Interesting result, Davey. I wonder if the circulated state makes a difference, because the ones that I bathed were UNC. This will be a variable...
Great show report, and great cats. I can really feel the excitement they exude.
It didn't take more than a minute for the coins that I did a few years ago.
Anyone willing to participate in my experiment will receive credit in the thread I'll start. Please see my wanted poster here:...
