Spartan, what is your budget? That really will determine your grade range. I too just completed my Registry set of Franklin's (linked in my sig...
Good guesses on the grades everyone. They are all graded MS-65, but the first two I believe have a good shot at 66 (the 1941 especially - strong...
Was lucky enough to buy these two shillings. The first is a Charles I, the second William III. NGC calls the Charles I a F-12, but I think it...
I got off work Friday afternoon as early as possible, and had a very pleasant drive down to Orlando (about 6 hours). The afternoon was sunny, and...
I didn't buy it, but one of the forum members on the NGC chat boards is a previous owner of it. Needless to say, his collection is amazing.
I just bought my recently shown 22 Peace toner from RcToners, and it arrived in the mail today. The pictures were great, but the coin is even...
I think they are both NT, and both very attractive. I'd have to see the 1922 in hand to be sure, but I think it would be a tough choice if I could...

They do it with more frequency than you would think - unknowingly of course. Over the summer, there was a coin doctor exposed who had a very high...
As would be expected, Paul - the center bands are opposite Miss Liberty's cheek. When the two high points are directly opposite each other, you...
Splotchines is not indicative of AT - many, many NT coins are splotchy or uneven. This coin has much smoother coloration than many, however. A...
As mentioned above - its not what you have, its how you use it. You do not need an expensive SLR setup like many of the guys above to take good,...
I'll call it a 62. I would also pass on this unattractive coin.
I personally am a big fan of die polish lines on some coins. They add intrigue and character to a coin. For much more about die polish, see the...
Thanks Diocletian. Yeah, my comments in the OP were a tongue-in-cheek reference to these comments by David Hall - for which he was rightly...
Under the bridge there lived a troll. He didn't have a soul. He infected the thread and it got to his head. Please mods, kill this troll dead!
Uhh.... Is this guy serious?
