The coin lost a fight with a garbage disposal and has unattractive toning, juiced in the picture. Even if it would grade, it's not worth buying.
Nice 64. Great luster, strike. Surfaces don't have enough undisturbed space for a 65, especially the left obverse field.
This is exceedingly cool.
Heritage's photo room comes to mind. 20 or so stations, each set up the same way, in a large, staffed room. I'll bet their annual photo costs...
I throw in another vote for GIMP, even though I use an older version of Photoshop. If you're dealing with white balance issues, try to do this...
Had the counterfeiter done this, they would have effectively been creating a doubled master die, which would show properly notched digits. Had...
On the Morgan, the reverse also shows doubling. On this coin, it doesn't, leading me to believe it was a double strike with the obverse die...
It's double-struck, with the second strike shifted just over half the width of the upright of the 1 to the left (at the date, anyway). This has...
I can't say from those pictures alone that it's fake, but I can say that it's absolutely trashed. I have seen genuine coins with that appearance...
"Henway Effect" it is!
Well, there's the 8 for the collector's club, then several silver dollars that I send with bulk orders over the course of the year, and I think...
Keeping the streak alive! Not crazy about the coin, but I'm thinking the luster is much better than what we infer from these pictures. The photo...
I have nothing to add that LordM hasn't already stated, other than that I like the idea of putting pre-crackout slab photos in a photo sleeve...
I have to scale my thoughts down to dime size. The obverse luster is good, but the reverse doesn't look good for some reason. Could be the...
By which I assume you mean AT copper, and not counterfeit coins. Yes to all the above. Any specific examples will be anecdotal. Nailing down...
I don't think the CW slabs can be sealed that way. The reverse shell press-fits into the obverse one. I go through several hundred of these each...
Unless it was glued together, there's a notch on the seam on one side near the top. You should be able to pry it open there with a screwdriver or...
It's an attractive coin, but as a 64RB it looks low-end.
Collecting rolls was a popular thing to do in the 60s and early 70s. These are plentiful for that reason.
There are some coming up on Heritage in VF and XF within the next couple weeks. The pictures aren't posted yet, but I recommend following those....
