I'm in at 66+ CAC. The check looks very smooth for a BTW. I'm not a huge fan of the toning but perhaps if there was more light it would be more...
I have acquired a decently large number of proofs over the years (such as a 1936 to 1942 set) but I have pictures of only a few of them. Here are...
I know the PCGS photos are glamour shots, but the coin itself is also pretty. It's graded PR 66. [ATTACH]
@johnmilton Thanks! Mark
@johnmilton I agree with your (and others) that the reed mark is tough and lowers the grade. But, exactly as you say, the rough planchet marks are...
I have never visited Antietam, so I envy both @Robidoux Pass and @johnmilton. It definitely would be cool to visit! In the meanwhile, I can share...
Fascinating essay. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a LOT. I recently won a McClellan CWT. I don't recall if I have posted it before, but it...
I just won this in a Great Collections auction last week. I don't know--perhaps admiration for the man himself--but I've always liked the BTW...
I have a few. I just won this one recently; it's one of two I have in PCGS slabs. It's graded as MS 65. [ATTACH]
You have two really sweet tokens! To prepare for the Partrick auction, I purchased and read the Bowers book on HTT. Unlike how I perceive a lot of...
To start, I know the history and story with 1964 SMS coins. But there are SO many "I have this 1964 SMS cent/nickel/dime/quarter/half" threads by...
Sometimes I think the True Views are much prettier than the actual coin and sometimes I think the actual coin is a bit prettier than the True...
Here is a Chalmers three pence. It's an odd grade: AU 53+. [ATTACH]
Here is an MS 67 Vancouver. [ATTACH]
@johnmilton I could argue with you about the Washington quarter (which apparently was first supposed to be a commemorative) but that would be...
@johnmilton Very nice summary except the Hoover administration did not stop commemoratives from being issued. Remember that the Washington-Carver...
@charlottedude Anytime I see a "C" mint mark on a piece of old gold, I start to salivate... :) And your coin is nice. Mark
@Conder101 I never want to dispute anything you say because I know the odds are prohibitively high I'd come out on the short end, but I think the...
@johnmilton those are very cool tokens. The analysis and linkage about "the base" seems totally on the mark. You say that Jackson continued to...
@Skyman That New Rochelle is stunning. I have one but right now I am wishing mine was half as pretty as yours. What is your coin's grade?
