More nice ones - beauties.
Went a few days without being on line - I think last night was the first time since tuesday. Was wrapped up in my jigsaw puzzle. :) Plus I thought...
I went with 65 because the luster looks flat. Could be the lighting on the coin, but the color looks off to me.
Can't give an opinion on those little pictures, but it looks like a nice addition.
Welcome to the form. Looks legit to me, but I am also no expert on these. I used to have a site book marked that would help me identify them, but...
Thanks - I think this answers the question. I just know ezest if you don't use it correctly it can burn the luster off a coin. On a side note I...
Does that depend on what was used for the dip? I am thinking something like ezest versus acetone.
PS - dipping done right means not by me. Never done it or tried it so I would not trust myself with a coin like this.
I don't frown on dipping if it is done right - and I think you did it right. My opinion you improved that coin in this case. I think there was a...

Nice coin indeed. Sigh....
I would call it a 62. Just too much chatter on the obverse, but could be the big pictures. Now my real question is - is that a chunk missing from...
Nice additions.
Well - if you want the coins and not the holder then use which ever you find them in. Even including ANAC's holders, unless doing a registry set....
Looks nice. Looks like it has some of the golden toning around the rims. You get some of these with blazing luster in the 65 &66 range and they...
I don't think I own any R-6's either. I will have to check when I get home, but I think my highes is R-5 also.
Good to hear he is doing well. Thanks for the update.
PS - I also did not try comparing BIN's versus auctions. I also did not look at those that did not sale on ebay - you could tell some of those...
