It's a faked error (squeeze job made to look like a clash) on a fake coin. The Chinese are getting into doing these, too.
I thought Ford vs. Chevy was scheduled for next week.
I'll join in for this coin. I agree about the strike and luster both being fantastic on this one. They both help the coin. The color shows...
66. This has what the 1900 Indian cent didn't -- clean prime focal areas. Great, flashy luster and clean fields. Strike is good, although the...
65. Hits are minor, the mark on the cheek is not bad. Gold gathers more scuffiness than silver. Luster looks pretty good, fields are clean,...
Really nice 65. Luster is great, surfaces quite clean, except for some small hits in prime focal areas (nose, cheekbone, central reverse) that...
The opportunity lies in making either extra tall lids that fit PCGS boxes or a spacer "collar" that snapped between the top and bottom. About...
Not to put words in his mouth, but the current NGC slab surfaces are more irregular than those of the PCGS slabs. This is especially noticeable...
Like anything, it can be time consuming until you figure out your workflow, starting with taking and post-processing the 6 photos. Software used...
6 frames. The way a GIF works, I have to embed each frame in the order it's shown, so it's put together as 1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2. Frame 1 and 6...

I've also done GIFs for certain coins. Mostly if it's a coin that you can't stop looking at while tilting it around in the light. 6 shots, loop...
To answer the original question, I present coins so they get sold and not returned. You want the coin in hand to just barely beat the expectation...
I have one, but I don't use it for coins. I prefer to have more direct and precise control over the lighting, and a diffusion tent doesn't give...
Nice set!
"Milk Spot Cameo RARE L@@@@@K!!!!!111"
I wouldn't use the term "most ideal" to describe the lighting conditions. The only thing that is ideal is the lack of a slab in front of a coin,...
At the beginning of the year, Brett Charville had an "ask me anything" thread running, and then answered several questions in that thread. One I...
I know one dealer who has had a customer return a coin because it didn't look like the TrueView, even though the dealer never posted TrueViews,...
I'm feeling 62 on that one. No heavy marks, but lots of little marks everywhere interrupt and impair the luster, making it seem dull. I don't...
Separate names with a comma.
