I'll do that jAZZ once I have some time. For now this is the best I can describe the edge. The edge is flat on the normal part of the coin but is...
I'll be at the fun show next week but I don't think the TPG's would care to see it. I'll take it with me and show it to a few folks there.
As posted early in this thread, It weighs 3.22. There is no way someone did this by hand. It was either part of an encasement or it came from...
On an FE in this condition I actually worry if it's not dark around the lettering. It should be. It's a VF something and looks just right for the...
I don't see anything that would make me think cleaned. At the same time the white balance is a bit off in the image. Something could be hiding but...
I finally had some time to play a bit. Most ensasement holders were struck with the coin in the holder, but I won't say all were. I could post...
If you don't mind paying for it, Coin Elite is a great program. It's the easy way out of building a sheet in Excel. Edit to add link....
I'll be there Thursday and Friday.
Lincoln medals and plaques are my favorite. Clash die Flying Eagle cents are a close second. An early US type set in proof and business strike is...
Same hear.

That's a cool thought. Thanks.
Really cool.
I don't understand the use of water after acetone. More about this please.
I joined Ebay from the start and would never argue it's not a gamble. In the early days, few could post a good image, if at all. Cherrypicking was...
Something to keep in mind about acetone. It will remove most anything organic. Once that's removed the surface of the coin may look much worse...
Hi Carlos. It's a cool coin to have as is. I would just put it in some type of holder and put it in the collection. The cost of grading would be...
I has just wondering because Rick Snow list an 1857 cent (S-16) as having a cud in the eagles neck.
It's been looked at by several experts and it's still a mystery but the idea of something like a lucky holder has came up more than once. I'll...
So what would it be called if you have a die break and a piece of the die breaks away that's not near the rim, leaving a blob on the coin? Edit to...
Separate names with a comma.
