If you want the true color of the coin under any lighting, just set your custom white balance under the lighting you're using and then the color...
Good thread. Only you shouldn't have told us how many were fake. I'm leary of the Barber only because of the raised edge on the rim at 7...
I know everybody frowns on cleaned coins, even lightly cleaned. Even myself. But I sort of wish it wasn't that way. If a 1798 coin got cleaned...

Security and your collection I found this post on "Security and your collection" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Coin Talk...

What about the one who wants you to be home so you can escort him around the house at gun point to show him locations and open things once you get...
These guys are right. I wear cotton gloves as well. Set the coin in the center and just push straight down on each side. MS doesn't mean the...
A few months ago, I made my first purchase with them. I got the 08 silver quarters proof set and a simple mint bag for hauling change. I...
