I don't know, but I'd make sure to keep car keys and other very sharp objects out of your pocket, since those can cause scratches, and you...
I'm starting to think the camera is the least important piece of a numismatic photo setup. If people can get good-enough-for-the-web shots with...
I disagree about the second one. If I just handed you that coin, you probably wouldn't question it, right? That's the definition of "market...

All I see is an ordinary 1977 nickel.
I don't get it. :)
Post Mint Damage
I'd pass. You can find another one without the black crud, probably without too much looking.
Just to underscore this point a bit, consider that the highest pre-1921 mintage of Morgans was around 21M, and total mintage was 570M. Walkers...
