That's just it....it's almost impossible to photograde at 66+ because we cannot see the luster properly. It's all about the flash and if we can't...
The coin bears a strong resemblance to many fakes I've seen. The obverse is dead-on with those. I believe this is nothing but a worn-out fake.
WOW! Congrats....that is ONE! It also looks like a very nice one! Get that coin into an Air-Tite ASAP. It's worth a lot of money and it's...
Now that I look again I think you're right! AARRRGGGG Hey, I'm trying to 7 second speed grade like they do. LOL That's probably why I'm down at...
Luster always WINS.

Generally....yes....except most of mine have full steps. That's one of my pet peeves with Memorials. My Memorial collection is very, very nice as...
Agreed. Also, you coin's value WILL follow the price of gold. What you're facing is the reality of coin collecting. Folks think they're going to...
They mostly differ only by method of preparation, for practical purposes, you can consider them the same. Distilled water is just that, water that...
Should be an easy 66.
Deionized water is highly corrosive and will corrode ALL metals. So, YES, I not only think it will, I know it will. I've been a chemist in the...
The 67+ ROCKS! That's the finest 09 VDB I've ever seen by a long shot. Give us some better and closer pics please! ....oh....and you suck. :p :D
1921's are some of the worst struck Philly issues.....I'm going to think about this one, it's definately a tweener.
Correctly graded this time.
Just buy some good quality acetone, do NOT use fingernail polish remover. Give it a soak for a few minutes (don't let it evaporate), take it out,...
