PVC is not FDA approved for food storage devices. Anything intended for kitchen use does not have PVC. The chance of hydrochloric acid or chlorine...
If I fell in love with it in hand and was in the market for one of these, I'd be in at $10-$12. $20 is way too much for a circulated, dipped and...
I assure you, in hand observation shows this is not the case, Doug. And yes, I am sufficiently educated and experienced to be able to tell the...
Your coin appears to be uncirculated, but it is not a high grade. I would call it a 63 tops, although the reverse appears like a 63+. It is not...
Die polish lines most certainly do go in a number of different directions. They are just brush lines from a mint worker - depending on how...
Wow, nobody got it anywhere near right. NGC graded this coin MS-65FBL, and I agree. The obverse is probably a 64.7, but the reverse is a very...
I believe the bottom of E is a trick of lights/shgadows. You can see hints of the tripling at the bottom of the crossbars of the T. And no one...
I wasn't even trying to show the tripling here. I don't have the setup to show it properly. Just wanted to know what y'all thought for a grade ;)
Madness of King George is a pretty funny movie. Of course I'm biased, but by far my favorite King George III coin is the 1787 shilling. I got...
Yes, George is the only one with decent color (and even then only on the obverse - the reverse looks rather dark), but he will not grade very...
Just got this one in the mail, and when I put it under the loupe discovered there is a sweet Triple Die Obverse. All 1962 Franklins (Philly,...
Hot dog, that's amazing.
I have roughly 725 items (counting a folder full of coins as one item). Roughly 250-300 of these are foreign (although, the majority numberwise...
Your pictures are attached, but they are WAAAAAY too small to be able to tell you anything.
Speaking mainly for my area of expertise, Franklin halves, I would say the market is down. Franklin prices seem like a strong bargain to where...
Wow. That's mighty harsh GDJSMP. What are you seeing in the pics that makes you think its MS-63? I see: strong strike, bold luster, mark free...
If you could post pics of the coin, that would help.... but odds are STRONGLY against you on this one. 1961 is a very, very hard date. MS-65's are...
Well, I paid $85 for it - even with the sellers crappy pics. The 1955 usually has an average strike, nothing special, nothing bad. When it is...
What are you seeing that would cause you to question the slab? There is no question in my mind from these pictures that it is genuine.
The point of this thread is being able to evaluate sellers pictures, and using a little knowledge to purchase a coin. I'll disclose what the coin...
