For the record, @Morgandude11 : the “Moose” you posted on page 12 of this thread is likely one of the most beautiful toned coins I have ever seen....
Let me repeat too, a score given here is in no way a personal attack of the poster. A coin having a particular pedigree to a collection or...
And for the record, I don’t like Morgans. They are overhyped and quite ugly from a design standpoint. So you can likely ignore my ratings in...

Can you read? Just because something was named something because of ignorance 300 years ago doesn’t mean its definition is the same today. I said...
You stated unequivocally that it was called oxidation because oxygen was involved. That is false. It’s called oxidation because of electron...
Hopefully 35mm diameter counts as "crown size"? [IMG]
@ddddd : Because in Round 2 we agree to a "personal subjective scoring" not a fixed (anchored to Morgan) schema, can we post some non-Morgans...
That’s a 4.8 for me. Beautiful coin.
