Yeah that stinks that it's been polished. Kangayou, are you familiar with this and how to tell that it has been buffed?
Larry..... was that a REAL 1943 copper cent??
Very cool! I don't have a devil note in my collection, although I have had opportunities. Dare I ask if you are aware of the shinplaster nickname...
What I find great about grading, is that it always comes down to a persons opinion. Example: The poll shows 2 people went MS64, and one person...
That's interesting, I was actually talking to a fellow on coin zip, and he uses a similar setup for toned coins. I will most definitely have to...
Incredible setup! So when you are photographing regular copper, you only turn on one light? The one facing directly onto the coin, the gooseneck...
Ok, but I'm serious, I think that coin is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest. Doug? Where are you? I want your opinion! I want everyones opinion!
Well.. That's wrong. What is a common sell price for an F-12? Because that hair has ALOT of detail. I stand by my first comment. EDIT TO ADD:...
The very first coin in the thread, this one http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/73965d1271981140-fh-2-obv.jpg I almost have never disagreed on a...
Before I go into a lengthy post in response to all the good answers here, I just want to comment on the voting. You can vote three times. Vote...

Ok, in the order that Doug uploaded them: coin #1 VF-20 Coin #2 VF-30 Coin #3 F-15 but I can't help but net grade it a 10 for the harsh cleaning.....
Hey everyone, so I thought this would be an interesting topic. I have split up several TPG graded coins between PCGS and ICCS. No 1 TPG's for the...
Nice coins man, and incredible finds for circ finds. I would say the 1927 is F-12 and you might be able to squeeze .75 cents out of it. The 1934 I...
Hmm, not sure. That gap looks a little large, but I think I am leaning more towards genuine than not. Could go either way though.
Hey Rick, if you found a 1927 by roll searching... I would say you should pick up a lotto ticket, can't say I know of anyone finiding an old...
I will take a stab at home with a higher res screen, and my own photo editing program. Please don't post the grades until later tonight Doug. Mark...
Yeah, there are quite a few who casually collect, and there are a dozen or so (that o know of) that collect them seriously. What denomination...
Nope, no mintmarks, although we do have some coinage with a "P" for "plated". And I realized I do have more than 2 coins. I have a semi complete...
