What cracks me up is that many of the same people who bash the CAC also whine about gradeflation and a loosening of standards by the TPG's.
Once you see an MS67 or MS68 Morgan Dollar in hand, it becomes really hard not to like them. I think people are drawn to the series because they...
Now I know I have explained to you in the past why toning is not a fad, yet you continue to present the fall of the toned coin market as...
Of course I don't think I am the only one. I was using hyperbole to prove a point. FWIW, I haven't seen Feld or Shane post here in a long time...
LOL, why didn't you show those photos to begin with. It looks much more attractive in the second group of pics. I actually like it now.
So you are waiting for pretty to go out of style. I hope you have an abundance of patience and a long life line.
Now ya see, I don't want a coin that might turn me to stone if I gaze at it for too long.

My Avatar is my registry example of the 1939-D Reverse of 40 Jefferson Nickel NGC MS67. Here are my registry comments and photos. Coin...
Die cracks are common on the 1940-S. Look at the crack on Jefferson's shoulder on the obverse of your coin. It is present on my coin as well but...
Typically, when you have the absence of a vertical indentation in conjunction with an indiscernable top step, the coin is a reverse of 38. I...
IMO, you should be just as concerned about the luster of the bottom coin. Given the choice, I will always take a few minor contact marks over...
I don't know what you guys are seeing that makes you think the top coin is a reverse of 38, but they both look like reverse of 40 to me. The top...
The vivid nature of the toning is the primary reason that the seller's asking price is so high. The fact is that the color scheme and progression...
