Feel free to nominate this thread, xtrmbrdr, I won't mind at all ;) To answer your questions: The actual shape of the "spokes" on the...
Thanks! You can see the rest of my set on the NGC Registry here:...
Very glad to hear that. And thanks for the nomination, speedy.
And the answer is: ANACS EF-45, O-112, R3. Mark H nailed it.
I've heard of people doing this. Its quite an interesting idea, in my opinion, although I'm focusing elsewhere. If I were to do it, I would try...
Posted this in another thread, but I think its important for beginners to read and know, so I'll add a bit more and start a new thread for it....
Very good post - a very thorough examination of MDD. I think it would be beneficial to continue the series with discussions of DDD, Longacre,...
Machine Doubling I found this post on "Machine Doubling" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "CoinTalk Thread of the Week Of The...

Ok, first we're going to start with seeing the cartwheel. Go get one of your slabbed Morgan's (by a Top TPG - PCGS or NGC) and a strong light...
Hear, hear! This is one of the first tricks to being able to spot cleaned/polished coins. Once you get it the first time, once you make that first...
Hey, give this one a shot. [IMG] [IMG]
Sounds like a good deal to me. Of course, ITS USELESS WITHOUT PICS!!!! :goof:
