Here's bubba burnishing the mirrored fields on a proof die: [ATTACH]
Well... why don't you give some of US a chance to sound smart? Yes, exactly everything you mentioned. I guess the burnishing of mirrored fields...
True. I do note that this is about the only change that eBay has made in a long time that might be in the SELLERS' favor.
Ebay has announced on April 13th that "winning auction bids are now final." This means that the U.S.-based winning bidders cannot submit bid...
There was also the wear created by the public's use of them with the main "coin intensive" industries through which the majority of coins USED TO...
I've been fascinated by the subject of wear on coins for a while. I always wondered how long it takes a coin to be "in circulation" to start...
Of course we're just looking at images here, but how many times have I seen coins with that same color profile come back as "questionable color"...

I am doing research into Republic of Philippines coins, the rather overlooked period of P.I. coinage dating 1958 to 1994. It encompasses three...
I always thought this one was the worst. We can't do much about the shape of our heads, but I mean, apply some DEP hair gel from the 80s to tame...
I don't know if you all remember just how much the theme of this coin took up so much of our attention and fears at that time. In 1983, I was 13....
The world coin pricing at NGC comes from Krause, I believe. If those listings for certain countries at Krause (numismaster.com) aren't updated,...
I am currently researching contemporary Philippine coins (1958 to 1990s). The Krause catalog shows that during the striking of Ferdinand Marcos’...
I'm going to steal this golden idea of yours and start a company specializing in holdering XXXL-size coins and medals. Just gotta find a plastic...
