I definitely don't like how they can take an AU details coin and arrive at a VF-35. But I really like when the EAC graders explain in detail...
I think there are supposed to be over 1000 tables this year, one of the biggest shows ever. Larry's guess of 5% might be a bit high for paper...
Might be embedded grease struck into the coin. That actually makes more sense than improper alloy mix.
Seems like ridiculous prices for these if you ask me. But I hope whoever got it is happy.
Can I post paper money in this thread? Does that count? I have no idea. I'm going to post this Afghanistan currency. Let's play off the modern...

I was torn between 61 and 62 initially. I thought there were enough marks to call it 61. In order to be 63, I'm guessing the luster must be much...

The point of that article is to show how they are different. Merc dimes need only the horizontals because they are in higher relief than the...
I agree with Larry that your coin exhibits machine doubling. That's some of the most extreme I've ever seen on a Franklin, but I still think it's...
Alrighty. Time to call this one, I think. We had 30 guesses, with an average of 63.2. This is actually a 64, and I think its a pretty nice one....
Yes, your coin is absolutely a bugs bunny. There are two different dies known for the date. Your first post is die #2, your second all appear to...
Same here. Just made my reservations, I will be there this year. It has been a few years since I went, so I'm looking forward to it. I'll check...
