Going through the album, taking some pictures this weekend. Grade a couple of them, because why not? [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Old albums had chemicals in them that would induce toning. This was unintentional, but sometimes attractive. New albums are made with archival...
Yes. That is classic mint set toning for a 56. I don't think it is ugly. The obverse is actually attractive, in my opinion (the reverse less so,...
Looks like machined doubling to me, too. That obverse is unusually attractive, though.
Yes, the tabs would have a different number of slots to correspond to the number of coins in the set. Sometimes the tab toning can be quite...
A 60? Interesting. You don't see that grade very often. It appears attractive, I like the color of it.
In that case, get it to NCS as soon as you can. If it is growing, it may have already done damage.
Yup. Perfectly normal wear and tear. Get 3 more and you can buy a coke.
That 4 is weird. But congrats on the finds.
PF details, environmental damage (corrosion). That huge spot on the obverse really needs to be taken care of. The spots on the reverse are...
64? I like the color on the obverse.
It looks like, based on the slab shot, my assumption about the luster was wrong. Because the luster is only average, the grade is 63.
Well, I wasn't alive yet. So, I certainly have no "memory" of this ;)
Very nice. Lustrous, and the color is good. Keep it in the rattler. It is accurately graded, and attractive.
Haha, what does that one cost? $4k? I actually like the previous one better. The swinging arm on this one would obscure the lights, and lead to...
That's never going to happen. We told him that it was post mint damage, and he submitted it anyways. He was told that it was post mint damage....
I think what you are seeing is from a weak strike. It doesn't look like wear to me. Does it have wear, or doesn't it?
That is a very attractive cent, Thad. The Zincolns of 82 were plagued by plating problems. Nearly every single one had bubbles, and some of the...
What I really want is something that I can program to go through a movement similar to the turn of your wrist as you rotate a coin under the...
I am going to make 2 assumptions here: 1. The coin is in an NGC slab. 2. The luster is strong and attractive in hand. Based on those...
