My gold nickel showed up today, serial number 4. Looks great! Thankful I was able to buy one. [IMG]
As expected! Congrats! Not sure what "prooflike" would mean for this coin. They didn't have reflective fields to start with. That doesn't...
They haven't sold it yet, and they might not have been the buyer at Stack's.
The coin has unusually colorful toning for a 1921, 1921s are a sort of hot right now (harder to source in quantity than you might think), and...
It would be best to submit all the coins, one at a time, to each grading service in the following types of submissions: - Single coin - Multiple...
Nice! Should have asked if they had any other related stuff to unload.
Correct. These are common peripheral die cracks. Not necessarily. Simply having too many cracks is one reason to pull the die. The cracks can...
The David Lawrence books are available on the Newman Numismatic Portal. Granted, it's 30 years old, but it's where I'd start....
Double-check VAM 5. I'm not sure the mint mark position is a match for VAM 11.
The 7s don't match each other on genuine coins. The troughs outlined above are on a real coin -- one wider than the other. The corresponding...
Probably a mustard stain in there, somewhere.
The power struggle between color and detail is real. This is why whenever I do photos showing pick-ups for varieties, they're in grayscale. It's...
@SensibleSal66 's most recent picture has a bluish-purple tint to it that I doubt is correct. The picture on the right in the OP looks too...
Fake. First, you shouldn't compare a 1888 with a 1921. The 1921 design has a lot of subtle differences. As for where the problems are, look at...
Someone had posted one of the Landis overstrikes on an actual nickel planchet. It made it apparent how poorly the original Schlag reverse would...
Looks dangerous. Try a hammer on the edge of a slab, holding it on a concrete floor. Slabs usually pop open neatly, without the need to get that...
So all you need is a $20 Saint, the 7070 gold page, and a hammer! No $3 or Type 2 $1 in the book, and if none have premiums above type, you're...
No gold page? ;)
Got mine yesterday. They're pretty cool. [IMG] [IMG]
I was actually thinking of creating a YouTube channel dedicated to bad information about coins and setting it straight, but I don't have that kind...
