Does anyone know if GSA coins were processed ( dipped or cleaned) before being placed in the holders? I have always assumed they were just...
It looks genuine, but in an estate sale, once you buy it, it's yours, even if you discover problems later. If you have the chance to examine it...
personal favorite of the silver commems I own: [IMG][IMG]
Jason, and others, have pretty well summed up the litany of problems with this coin. What struck me right off the bat were the rounded...
Some neat artifacts. I enjoyed Mr Jackson's contribution. [IMG] [IMG]
I believe it's genuine, too. A hit on the rev, can't really call it a chop mark, maybe some kind of a test. the micro s is common (I/II) and...
Well, those images are completely different. If the patina is as thick as it looks in the last photos, with the pale halos around the devices, I...

GeorgeM, you might consider posting photos of your coin on the Collectors Universe US coins forum, and ask for an opinion from Fred Weinberg, the...
A nice look on a budget. AU58 [IMG][IMG]
NIce history lesson, Lee! I lookforward to the next installment. I think the only known portrait of Boone made while alive was done by Chester...

No, I just did a couple of acetone soaks until all the green was gone, then distilled water rinse. no harm to the toning.
Clearly has high point rub but can't argue with the originality. Probably hasn't been through a lot of different hands since it was struck. Nice.
Agree. that Hawaiian is simply outstanding! Lynchburg, formerly PCGS 65 (de holdered to remove pvc) [IMG][IMG]
I see what looks like some surface marks by US and CA on the obv. I think it graded 63 then, 64 now? If I am not interpreting the photos...
Genuine. Rims look nice which is always a plus on these.
I'm at 66; on such a small coin the surface marks are minute. Luster looks full. good strike, great color.
The only 2 Pan Pac issues I can afford. The dollar is PCGS 65, OGH CAC. The half is P 63 if I remember, but the toning is original to the...
I was looking at a TruView of a coin from the same rev die (same cracks) and see no doubling, so probably an artifact of photography. [ATTACH]
