I don't think a thread specifically for TPG old, rare, strange, or special exits, so I'm starting one. NGC, PCGS, and all other slabbers welcome....
Same coin, various shots: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I actually think they did a decent job of replicating the look of the original doily. Just for comparison sake, he is an original doily I picked...
Exactly. I wouldn't pay that kind of premium either (and I'm a CAC fanboy), but plenty do. Regrading is ~$30 a coin once you cook in insurance...
You read Tom B comment correct? Why leave money on the table? Check past auction results for the gold bean if you don't believe me, or Tom.
I didn't know that, thanks. Looking now. update: I looked at them all via photographs, I'll check again when I get home. Basically I have 3...
Came in mail today, yea, off the CAC: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Updated Pics, I have them back in my hands! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Coin looks pristine in hand, slab is utterly destroyed. What's the matter with some people, it looks like the slab was cleaned with steel wool...
Hammer away, by all means. :D Here is a new toned WQ for me: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Arrived today. Toning is a little unattractive, and hits that are parallel above "In God We Trust" are a little scratch-like. Decent luster....
Wow, I hope to own one of these someday for my Type set. Congrats.
This is not a direct response to you, but more a response to all similar posts. IMHO, the OP's intentions were to use this angled view IN...
I've had a coin or two featured there. It's pretty cool when it happens. I check all my coins to see if they have TrueView / Secure Plus /...
Won this tonight, going straight to CAC, hoping to fill my Flying Eagle cent Type. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I guess the rim damage held this one back? Still going to CAC to have a look-see. Awesome NGC3 no-line fatty holder. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The kind of stickers I'm removing are ~15 years old and not coming off with a thumb. Some barely come off with WD40 / GooGone and a lot of work...
I've done it both ways, both work fine. Obviously if you have the sticky labels, its easier.
So true are the TrueView images. They show a coin at its most ideal, and IMHO, so "perfect" that it basically is a lie. I don't know if I am...
The OP photos are fantastic, seems this technique is particularly suited for ancient coins to show off all the irregularities and depth. I love it.
