Fakes of this issue abound; most have a fat, mushy look to the details of the crown, and the embroidered headpiece and collar. If you could post...
I vote for the Lafayette, it's big,most have great luster, and it has an interesting story behind it. I've never cared for the look of the Hudson...
Until I was approached by someone with some nicely toned Mercs for sale, I honestly had no idea they even existed! (seriously!) I was quite...
I'll use this one to bump for the Sat nite krewe: [IMG] [IMG]
I'm enjoying looking at everyone's coins here; I think Lehigh's qualifies for having a little crust (ie, thick toning) close to the rims; what a...

Hi James, welcome to CoinTalk- I'm not much good at grading Morgans, but yours look mint state and rather mark-free from where I sit. Do you...
Great looking dime, Johnny! you don't see too many with that full sunrise/sunset look. Would love to have it in my set!
One more for tonight.. [IMG] [IMG] (whoops, wrong obv, now corrected!)

In my opinion, this is an individual with some serious personality issues, in the medical sense, and I hope he seeks some professional help.
Some time ago, I thought it would be neat to have a short set of dimes from 1939-1945. My original aim was to have the set in MS66 FB-- then I...
I would say you did very well indeed!!
