Sheesh, the lighting in these pics makes it impossible to give a confident grade. I'll guess somewhere between 65 and 67, and probably CAM....
For the record, I'm not opposed to scientific research. I think that's the best way to figure out what the AT'ers are doing. As a chemist, you are...
Maybe? Maybe not? Depends on what you did to the coins. You could dip them and remove the toning, you could make a mark on them, you could...
Coins can be removed from flips. The coin itself must be marked or destroyed.
I don't want you to delete the thread. There's nothing wrong with the thread. There is some good information here. I want you to permanently mark...
Riding a bike and learning to drive are completely acceptable pursuits of time in common society. That's not a good analogy. Making a batch of...
Mark them somehow on the actual coin. Clearly indicate that they are AT. They might be your amusement now, but if they pass to some unsuspecting...
You made these? Why? I hope you plan on destroying them. You're verging on dangerous territory, here.
While you make some great points, the Great Silver Melt largely took place before TPG certification was commonplace. In the intervening years,...
Read it closely. He doesn't post here. He does post there.
There are several ways those colors could be generated - and all of them are artificial. These are disgusting and ridiculously cartoonish. They...
Looks like a crack to me. Die cracks are uncommon but not unknown on proofs.
No, this coin would not receive a DCAM grade. Toning does not affect the designation, but breaks in the cameo do. It appears that there is a shiny...
You won't find any others listed as key dates because there aren't any other key dates. For silver washingtons, key dates are 32D, 32S, and 36D....
It is very difficult to capture the PL fields in an image, but seeing how it plays under the light is more convincing. Take a look at this video:...
They look like they are made to look like Spanish coins from the 1600s. But, they look like modern reproductions to me - something you might get...
Based on the unnatural mix of blues and purples, I would have said artificially toned, MS-70'd, with 64 details. But the TPGs have been lenient on...
Ms means business strike (or Mint State). This is clearly a proof coin, which would be graded Pr or Pf. You've been here long enough to know that.
No proof Bust Half gets "pushed through." These are legitimately rare coins worth many tens of thousands of dollars. I would have thought that...
The star can also mean that the coin just missed the next higher designation. A * CAM could either mean "that is a CAMEO coin with extraordinary...
Separate names with a comma.
