I have a couple of toned Wheaties that I want to try this on this weekend. It's impossible to catch their full glory with a single image, so I'm...
Thanks for the explanation!
Really, people. Let's use some basic high school science here. We're talking (around) 120 tonnes of pressure. At that pressure, the temperature...
I see a very extreme case of Die Deterioration Doubling. See the Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die-deterioration_doubling
Insure the coin for what you paid for it, and/or what an undesignated variety is worth. James Wiles is a really great guy, and he'll treat you...
At $1000 a pop, I think you should buy them all. There's a reason you're not getting any useful info here... this is an expensive coin, and not...
Woof. That looks like the pile of barf my dog just let up in my backyard.

Proof that old holders are not all undergraded..... Proof that coins remaining in old holders are overgraded? Either way, it is still an...

Fake as CNN.
I think the cleaning is fairly obvious. Where are the scratches? Are they calling the hairlines "scratches"? Ooh, too bad you don't like CBH's....
Y'all are being kind of vague.... Besides the mintmark, what else is pointing to this as being fake? This is a series I'm less familiar with, so...
Haha, that would be a pretty clear indication that's a fake!
I've always enjoyed your overlays, rmp. Keep up the good work!
I'll be honest, trying to guess the assigned grade and grader is nearly impossible. I'll wager that the assigned grade is PCGS 67. However, I'll...
There is no way in Hades that coin grades 66. It may get a 65 if you bribe the graders, but I like it best at 64.
I can't speak for him, of course, but I'm fairly certain he's referring to the streaky white spots on her cheek and neck, and the field in front...
Struck through grease.
I'm not seeing what you're saying. Could you try taking a couple more pics with different lighting and rotation angles to try and show what you're...
Separate names with a comma.
