I don't, anymore. But I used to. The box of coins I spoke of is about the only thing I kept. I gave part of them to my son and plan to give the...
I should have said changed management and graders instead of changed hands. The effect was the same.
I have posted many times that albums are not a good way to store coins. Sure, they good in an album - but bad for the coins. Why ? First and...
If you are talking about inside the loops, I think that is dip residue.
LOL ! - never thought of that :goof:
OK - your next coin gets a F from me :D
LOL !! C'mon now Mike, I aint that hard on 'em :kewl:
DOH ! Ya gotta pay more attention Doug :o I think the one with the clip has been harshly cleaned. The other one has been scratched on the...

Your comment is one that many people would make. Of course it is based on the assumption that because it was what seems like a long time ago that...
OK, got me curious now - where are you looking for these prices ? From Aug 3 to Jan this year Heritage has - $195 - $184 - $230 - $172 -...
I have already said why, because it is not equal to other that left the die without the cracks. Yes many do think die cracks make for...
You wouldn't be contradicting me, but realized prices on Heritage. The coin would grade VF IMO, and is damaged.
My opinion has not changed.
Understand your point Jim, and many would agree with you. But die cracks are after all a flaw in the die, and I just can't bring myself to give a...
