Absolutely no way that has AU-58 sharpness. Looking at the wear, especially on the obverse, I'd call it 53 sharpness (look at the stars, hair,...
I hadn't heard that number, but it seems reasonable. The 2009 "UHR" really can't compare to the original, because the original was truly much...
What the OP is describing is an "auto-reject" feature that Ebay offers. You can set a minimum threshold, and if the offer is less than that then...
I buy many hard copy books because there is information in them that is not present online (yet). For this reason, I still love them. But the ease...
I wouldn't recommend laying a hair on a high relief medal (oils and all), but a truly high relief medal has significantly higher relief than a...

That is a cool coin. Can you tell us a bit about the Larry Adams collection, or a bit about him?
Overly dipped coins won't retone in a natural manner unless forced. That's the gist of your post. My feeling is, some chemicals were applied to...
Especially on an early date wheat! I think the thumbprint on the obverse hurt it, and there is a glossy sheen that makes it look like it was...
For business strikes, sure. Not for proofs. Proofs were individually made on a medal press, at higher strike pressures. They were also often...
Yes, thanks. The group of 6 sold for $78.
That coin looks to have been stripped and polished down to that awful white. It looks like someone was attempting to artificially tone the coin,...
For anyone curious, I sold this one on Ebay last night for $42.
For anyone curious, I sold both of these on Ebay last night, for about $20 each. A bit lower than everyone was predicting.
