Looks like XF details to me -- I can't see it making even AU50. More to the point, though, it looks harshly cleaned. I'm not a Morgan guy, but...
It looks to me like it's just worn and polished...?
52mm sounds like the front thread on an SLR lens. These tubes actually go between the lens and the camera body. Extension tubes shouldn't ever...
Well, if ANACS did it on my Peace dollar, I'm certainly grateful, because the coin looks a lot better than I remember it looking when I sent it...
Yep, "macro converters" (lenses that attach to the front of your main lens) invariably add chromatic aberration, and usually degrade the image in...

The twelve bidders weren't knowledgeable enough to spot the variety when when it looked like just another common coin auction. The $76 bid drew...
Sure. If you don't snipe, you're divulging more information to other bidders, in a way that can only work to your disadvantage. You: "This coin...
I'm sorry that you don't know how to shop effectively on eBay. I've said for some time that there are bargains out there, but you need to know...
Am I the only one who's seeing broken image links for Matt's post #21 in this thread?
Funny. I bought a roll of silver quarters on eBay, and I found that two of them were clad. I'd say "send them over", but the seller already gave...
