I was going to guess "Boinked"
Pity it was in that holder. I hate when coins I would otherwise buy are held hostage by plastic.
The value or grade isn't so high that cracking it would be a mistake. What I recommend whenever someone wants to crack a coin for an album is to...
It's also good for loosening goo from stickers. For the scratches, you need less than a drop, then wipe it across the slab face with your finger....
Ultra-Pure Lamp Oil. I also use this as valve oil (see avatar). $10 worth will probably last you the rest of your life. Bring your own dropper...
I don't assign grades, but I wouldn't have guessed G4 for that one. The coin looks easily G6.
Impressive that it was effective on something as light as a dime. How long did it take? The micro O is the mint mark punch for the quarter....
While a key date and expensive, they're frequently enough available that you should be able to be selective in your purchase. Don't buy the first...
Didn't have to pay for it, so it's not a newp. Got it today. Goes nicely with my PCGS and NGC ones. [ATTACH]
Denver didn't do anything. All dies were made in Philadelphia. By chance, the one with the strongest overdate (a form of design hub doubling)...
I'll have a burnished half-enhanced reverse proof with soy milk and 2 pumps of sugar-free caramel.
Those at VAM Thing XXII at the FUN show got to see this in hand, as did a couple other people that were in the right place at the right time. A...
The reason some are not that visible is in part because of the hubbing process. It takes 7-10 blows with the hub to make a die, with the die...
Coming soon. :)
I've never seen a show this packed. Doomists and gloomists of yore lamenting being able to roll a bowling ball down the aisles are a faint memory...
I half-heartedly looked for one at the FUN show. No luck, but I didn't look at many coins. Didn't have much time to.
Same week, same place.
There are rooms with windows overlooking the floor, so I imagine it was taken that way.
All three days I was there the attendance was high. Thursday was packed with people waiting an hour to get down the escalator once the show opened.
The wraps that people have been putting on these apparently wreak havoc on the stainless steel.
Separate names with a comma.
