Nice demonstration. I'd like to get ahold of a coin with one of these old certs, too. I don't care much about the grade. I just think it'd be a...
Need a better pic of the mint mark, but it does look like something. This looks like a cell phone pic; if so, you could try using a loupe as a...
If this is a circulation find, it's pretty cool! I don't see any doubling, just a slight amount of off-centeredness. If I found it, it'd be a...
No real offense taken. :) Now go have another Guinness for me. ;)
I agree with this. My personal grade is 65, but I would not be surprised to see 66 on the holder.
Lol. Funny stuff everybody. Those don't look like the rechargeable kind. That's what I'd use in the safe.
I love everything about this coin. I want to own one of these with the original paperwork now, too!
Sorry if I inadvertently hit a nerve. I'll try and phrase things better next time. I wasn't saying I saw a lusterless coin, just that I didn't...
I'm guessing it's graded MS65, and that would be my grade, as well.
All very true, hence why it's somewhat lucky that this works better with PNG members (who are business people that actually sell coins for a...
My guess of 65 was for what the slab says. IMO, I think people saying high 63/low 64 are right. The cheek has a 64 look to it, but then there's...
@Rheingold : If you're using a camera for this, you could use a stack of books as a ghetto stabilizing stand, rather than holding the phone...
Easy rule to spot a fake Trade dollar: If it's not in a slab, it's fake; if it's in a slab and the slab is fake, the coin is fake. Otherwise,...
Yes, there's such a thing as metal flow; I'm saying it's not because part of the metal becomes molten. If I have a block of lead and hit it...
(Sorry, I just had to. And this is one case where it really kind of is "one weird trick" :) .) As you should know, sellers pay significant...
Metal from the planchets doesn't flow because it's molten, so much as because it's being pushed against the anvil die by the hammer die with...
Previously on Coin Chat. :-) Great explanation, @Hommer.
I voted MS65. Not sure on the holder. :-)
I suppose so. I'm bad at that. I'd rather just go to a show every couple of months and look for people I know at their tables. Many of the...
This deserves more likes than I can give it. Establishing relationships with one or more dealers is one of the main reasons I would suggest new...
