How can you measure accuracy when there's no ground truth?
While it's no longer a lot of space in terms of what a data center can hold, it is still a lot of data that needs to be collected.
Busy thread, and I'm going to make it busier. A couple things I want to touch on here: Yes and no. As stated earlier, PCGS has this with their...
Looks like a minor clip to me. The funny bump on the reverse might be a bump on the planchet that didn't get struck out due to the clip. 1921 is...
Nice look on both of them.
Who disturbs my slumber?! Anyway, there are R-numbers assigned to specific Morgan dollar varieties, but they need to be taken with a grain of...
I'm at 64 with it. No big hits on the obverse, but lots of "drags" on the forehead. One biggish hit on the lower left reverse.
And curiously, the first coin released into circulation was the half dollar. These hadn't faded from use yet.
Could have been cleaned with baking soda once upon a time, and now the date is caked with it. If you can get your hand on a rose or cactus thorn,...

At minimum a bubble mailer. Add a stiffener to these in the firm of a Saf-t-mailer or cardboard sandwich. When using free USPS boxes, pack them so...
I'll send a link to my personal contacts there.

With Lowly Worm making an appearance on all of them?
Holy crap. I was just joking on the PCGS forum a couple days ago that the US Mint was going to produce "The 26 Letters Quarters™" once the...
Interesting. Was that die only used in 1880, or also in 79 and/or 81?
Poke it with a stick. If it gives a little, it's a plating blister. It looks like the plating on the reverse isn't very good, either, as you can...

I could go on for the better part of a week (specifically June 24-27, at the ANA Summer Seminar) about how you could collect Morgan dollars. You...
