Picking one side of one coin is almost an impossible task...
I thought for a long time about what to submit. I decided on a Russian coin about the size of a US quarter dollar (specifically, this is a 1915...
Oh, I forget you and Doug are both pushing 250 years old, right? ;)
I think you are in the extreme minority if you think the Capped Bust was a "terrible" design. [img]

A new type coin for my set. [ATTACH]
It's still a beautiful coin....just not the holy grail. Sorry! I'm sure if I hadn't said it someone else would have after me. :)
I'm excited to see your close up images of the rim of the proof versus this one. The more I look at it I can't help that my initial gut feeling...

I'm not going to spend the money on doing it, but I dare say that you would be surprised at the lack of consistency at PCGS (or NGC for that...
It took me 2.5 years to get to where I am with my images. Are they perfect? NO. But, because photography is a hobby I also really enjoy, I...
I don't want to hijack the NEWPS thread too much, but here is my example. I didn't pay for the TrueView, but it's just a coin I purchased and it...
I guess the final decision of whose plastic is better will only come when they flip a slab pre-game at the Superbowl instead of a Coin. ;)
Paul, I know it's not a rare or expensive coin. But to enjoy it in your collection why pay $30ish dollars for regrading, plus $20 for TrueView,...
All TrueView images are taken of raw coins before they are holdered.
