Good finds! Love it and maybe one day I will find one.
Peronally I am not sure it is the camera or just the lighting. You might want to try diffusing the light. Paul did a complete post on that you...
Yep - she just bought them. Proof IHC's are easily available, but really nice ones like this are tougher to find. Of course all of this is just...
Around $450. Every other one I have seen them have were priced around $1600 to $2000. Granted the details were easier to read, but all were...
On a trip and do not have my books with me, but maybe if you post larger pictures(as best as possible) of both sides(it maybe corroded, but...
Worked for me - I just sent him a PM. PS Nice details on those large cents. Have you tried to attribute them?
In the original post you provided only one side of the note. I did not have time to compare all of the features of the notes for that side only...

Me too - I sold my modern commemoratives, but most of that was bullion anyway. Other than that I sold 2 coins - one purely for profit and the...
Makes me glad I am single. :)
Yeah - but why do you say that?
Well - not bad for a first attempt. Maybe trim the excess around the coin - I also wish the picture of the coin was a little bigger(good and bad...
Why lamination versus die crack? And I agree it looks cool.
See this thread by Mark Feld. Personally I think it teaches you to be more aware of the costing aspect of collecting. I have sold one coin back...
