Is it time for one of your melt downs again? Let me rephrase my comments - if it were NOT for the little blotches of textile toning on that coin,...
What’s the question? There is barely any toning - and what is there is spottled (textile) and all the same yellow/gold color. That just is not...
2.0 for me. I don't like textile toning, and that coin doesn't have much positive eye appeal in terms of colors. First cycle toners are kind of...
The seller is certainly doing something either purposefully or unbeknownst to him/her. But, that slab pic of the 1989 you posted is poorly lit...
If the SHTF, no one cares about your gold. They care about food and water and other necessities. Gold has absolutely no utility for a doomsday...
The blue transition label (light bottom, dark top) of the eBay item is a much darker shade of blue than the label generation you posted. Yes they...
I change my vote to a 4 for the likely inaccurate eBay photos. It’s probably pretty in hand but not amazing.
It should tell you at least a little something that one of this sellers coins that sold in the auction on 30 Aug on eBay for $445, also sold again...
A couple Conder tokens for your consideration: [IMG] And this one, where my avatar comes from: [IMG]
That George+Dragon design is by A.G. Wyon from his work on a 1910 George V pattern. The pattern was only minted in a quantity of 2 pieces in...
For the Roosie dime - 4.6 For the 1883 Morgan - 5.2 (too much yellow for higher IMO)
I just put in an order of slab boxes from Wizard. The plastic boxes from NGC and PCGS are too wasteful on space for a SDB. I can fit nearly 350...
It's a cool coin of Queen Victoria's grandson...
The obverse of that medal has some truly stunning engraving!
If it grades out at MS64 you can probably get $200+ if you take stellar photos and are patient.
I agree, presuming there are no hidden problems in those photos (they aren't the best from the eBay seller) - I'd peg it for an MS64 grade also....
@expat you should be able to use manual focus. Also, make sure you are at least the minimum working distance away determined by whatever lens...
I was thinking more of an acetone bath. A dip could accidentally ruin the whole coin's look. Tread lightly I guess. As long as they aren't PVC...
The black spots on the "5" denomination side are a bit unsightly. Any chance you could soak that off without disturbing the toning? Out-gassing...
