Am I the only one opposed to this? I really have no interest in seeing the mint's neutered, watered-down, low relief, mass produced, shoddy...
Acetone works perfectly, so why even consider using some other concoction?
I don't see anything that makes me immediately think it is not genuine. If it is fake, its a pretty good one. However, it had environmental...
For too long, really. It's all marketing hype, and too many suckers have fallen for PT Barnum's bait.
Might be a good topic for another thread.
There is an easy way to prove it, of course. If there is scrap metal attached, or a piece of a die attached, the coin will weigh more than normal....
Ah, I see. I always take pics before I send to NGC, for 2 reasons. 1. It is vastly easier to take a good picture of a raw coin than one in a slab....
Lets just say the odds are strongly in my favor. Millions of coins have die chips..... none (that I know of) has ever had a "piece of the die...
You don't have to post the slabs, just show us the coins! I'm really curious to see the coins you thought deserved stars, but which didn't get...
I know you are joking, but I am a nuke-ular physicist myself. My nuke-ular physics professor pronounced it as "nuke-ular," and many of the people...

I'll say the same thing I pretty much always say: if you are interested in errors, you should buy a book on the subject and read it. However, in...
I am fully aware of what this error is. The link is good - but I would think the purpose of this forum is to share knowledge and help others...
When you put out 110 different quarters and 50 different dollars in the space of 20 years, and only have half a dozen "artists" doing the work,...
@ksparrow , that is an absolutely PERFECT 1795. Fantastic color, smooth surfaces, great amount of detail.... that thing is stunning.
I posted the most expensive coin I bought earlier, here is the only other coin that I've spent $5k+ on. Graded NGC MS-67 * PL.... [IMG] [IMG]
I did ask my mom to get me the US mint sets. She liked feeling like she contributed to my collection. Each year, she would give me that year's set...
Oops. You still got a 66, which is a decent grade...
I'll call it 64. The reverse looks nice, there are just too many hits on the face for me to go higher. Sometimes, I'll take a picture that I...
