    Strike

    I've seen UNC Morgans so weakly struck they had just over VF-looking details. You really need to check out the luster to distinguish a...

    Selling error coins

    Any coin show of any size will almost certainly have an "error guy" you can sell them to. Or, there's always eBay.

    Counterfeit Morgans: hands on with a high quality Chinese fake

    If the coin depicted in this thread cost $53, I'd be interested to see what a couple hundred collars would get you.

    Counterfeit Morgans: hands on with a high quality Chinese fake

    I disagree that revealing the diagnostics is a bad thing. There's a $20 book available that tells any counterfeiter with a machine shop and some...

    1803 1$ NGC45 Does dark tone add originality, subtract value, or both?

    I like this one, too. It's starting to get a bit dark for my tastes, but I certainly would love to own it if I were in the market for an early...

    Counterfeit Morgans: hands on with a high quality Chinese fake

    Weakness on the eagle's breast on the reverse and hair above the ear on the obverse is entirely normal. I can't see anything that indicates this...

    Easiest group of numismatic coins to make counterfeits

    Read Numismatic Forgery. Any coin can be convincingly forged with the right equipment (primarily a metalworking lathe and some jeweler's tools).

    1801 1$ PCGS GTG; is this coin AT (artificially toned)

    I'm not seeing any evidence of cleaning or AT. Looks like an honest XF to me, too.

    Counterfeit Morgans: hands on with a high quality Chinese fake

    Assuming you mean fake coins in authentic slabs, yes. The "privately made" micro-O VAMs were routinely slabbed years ago before the TPGs noticed...

    Just find something that fits well with your interests and your collection (and any pieces you could possibly borrow for the show).

    To Clean or Not to Clean

    I'd say this is terrible advice for a beginner. You can ruin a coin much more easily than improve it.

    Unclean...unclean

    I don't know anything about ancients, so, could you explain these steps to me? Like, why would you do them, and what would it accomplish?

    1936-S Oregon Trail Commemorative Half - grade opinions

    This is 100% true. I'd say the photo justifies a 65, but, given my misstep with his MS66 Buffalo nickel, I'd say this photo probably doesn't show...

    Fair Price For This 1915-D Barber Quarter?

    Are these your photos? If so, they're way overlit. It's hard to really tell what the surfaces are like.

    To Clean or Not to Clean

    That's what silica gel desiccant is for. There are tons of threads on proper storage. Do a search and you'll probably find a few.
