Hence my parenthetic statement. Claims at being first/oldest aren't always what they seem. It would appear that Saxton's may be the oldest that...
I would contact PCGS and ask if this was a clerical error. Had it really been a proof, a few people there would have remembered it.
Grading from photos is difficult and imprecise. Grading proofs (and SMS coins) from photos is more difficult due to the more subtle nature of the...
For a circulated 1964 Kennedy, nobody's going to care if it's proof or a business strike, since either way its value is bullion. Remnants of a...
I went to the Waukesha show last Sunday. As I mentioned earlier, the last time I was there was in 1979, which was right before silver went...
Learned something new last night. The first photograph taken in the U.S. (or photograph claimed to have been first) was a Daguerreotype taken by...

Looks like lines that were in the planchet when the coin was struck. Were it something sinister (by which I assume you mean nasty damage), you'd...
I voted no. See my comment (and Tom B's) in the photography forum poll about forum proliferation.
Bad bad bad bad bad. Did I mention it was bad? (Both coin and slab)
TomB's accounting of the NGC boards is exactly why I came to the conclusion I did. In my ideal world, I'd have a forum aggregator that would...
I'll be checking out the Waukesha Coin Club show. Last time I went was 1979.
Unsure if you had the sarcasm button pressed when you posted this or not, but in case you didn't, this is equivalent to saying that the people who...
How about signed coins? [IMG]
My first reaction is that I don't need another forum that I feel compelled to visit. The number of photography threads I've seen could easily be...
I'm going to say they're all good. The 1922 has weak obverse, strong reverse, which is the main diagnostic for die pair 2. The 1909-S has valid...
