I'm not seeing split serifs, so my guess is it is MD. Nice looking coin though. :) A pic of the obverse would be nice, if for no other reason...
Meh. I'd prefer that such discussion stays in Coin Chat or some other appropriate, already existing forum. A dedicated eBay forum probably...
@baseball21, you said it. A 30 day return privilege is beyond excessive. Anyone who can't make up their mind in less than 7 days (and, honestly,...
Heh, I didn't even see that on the site. I think I've seen them in person, and they're pretty ugly.
Nice looking boxes (would be great if they were solid mahogany, but I doubt it). Looks like mostly overpriced and overhyped coins to me. The...
Yeah, nothing to worry about there. The nickels actually look quite attractive to me. I'm not a fan of the apparent haziness on the '69 half,...
Pictures would be nice. :) I can say, however, that toning on proof sets is nothing unusual. As long as it's not ugly toning, I wouldn't worry...
That is a very nice BTW. Lots of them don't even have half the eye appeal of this one, and it's one of the lower mintage ones.
Good question... probably one for a chemist. Fortunately, @Kentucky is a chemist and a collector of ancients, so he might know. My guess is that...
It's pretty challenging to do the full 140-coin set. I'm only collecting them by type, mostly because I don't want 18 Booker T. Washingtons and...
Great coin, and I like the presentation, but I think it would be better if you more carefully cropped the slab label rather than leaving the...
That safe does not look good for humidity issues. Lots of inexpensive safes have humidity retention issues, especially if they're the so-called...
What I'm seeing is either die polish or cleaning hairlines directly in front of and behind Liberty, and not much else. The parts you've circled...
Really? Every one, including the "non-collectible" Sheldon varieties? Either way, that's pretty impressive.
I'd be willing to bet there are fakes of every classic commem. It's more of a question of whether the average collector will ever run across one,...
Are there any other sellers that are somewhat notorious for repatinating coins? I'd like to avoid these if possible.
Acetone will do it, and it shouldn't harm the coin a bit. Just to be extra safe, if you're using acetone on a bronze coin, do the soaking in a...
Seconded.
I see what people are talking about with the surface issues, but with the amount of detail on that coin, it might be worthwhile even if the patina...
I'm going to split the difference here. I like the yours overall better, because my guess is that it's more representative of the in-hand look of...
Separate names with a comma.
