I don't think there is sufficient evidence to convict! :) Particularly because the toning on the 1840 $ is completely intact around the edges...
I certainly see the halo you speak of on your coin. The last one I posted, not so much - in hand the toning is even more consistent than in the...
hmm - TypeCoin971793, meaning you think the last one I posted had an old cleaning? It looks pretty original to me - at least based on the...
Nice coin. I'm wondering why the OP is interested in Amazon VS Ebay. If you have a substantial EBAY track record you can open an Ebay store and...
Follow-up on the AU50 coin. It's being sent to PCGS to remove the pvc sentiment and my understanding is that it will either be pvc free and...

Neat stuff! What sort of camera body will you be using those on?
I've seen some really good web info on what "old gold" should look like, but not silver. Are there any good resources for what old, original...
SuperDave - if you owned, what would you do to prove it was PVC - or otherwise? Crack it and do a chemical analysis?
Problem for a collector is that if I buy that coin I could never sell it - or certainly not without mentioning the green problem, which would...
That is one beautiful set of pennies - gorgeous! And none of them certified. I like that too. I once had a date set of Carson City Morgans, all...
Sentiment appreciated. Unfortunately, for a set collector there are not anywhere near thousands and thousands of choices of first year of issue,...
Oh, fun. Thanks, SuperDave. The XF45 is an OC-3. The reverse is clearly PB. No doubt. 350 estimated survivors, R-3. Thanks much.
I'm sorry, but isn't the idea of buying common gold coins for bullion based on the premise that because it's in a coin format you know what you...
I have the xf45 in hand. I don't think the stars are re-punched, but can't say for certain. Do you happen to have a link to more info or pictures...
Don't own it, and it doesn't appear that I will. Very helpful all around! The AU50 is in a PCGS secure slab! Thanks for the informed...
Ah, Yes, I see what you mean. However, if it's pvc, shouldn't it be on the high points rather than the low points. And why wouldn't it be on the...
Thanks, Super Dave - Hmm. that's come up before. (yes, the lower coin is AU). Could you elaborate on why you believe there's a plasticizer...
Above? Thanks for taking the time to reply. I guess I should have identified them better. The top picture is the XF45, the one on the bottom is...
