I agree as well, the second pics show what the first did not. As for it being variety 1-0-1 or 2-0-1, that is too hard to distinguish based on the...
Try looking here - http://www.amsecusa.com/home/ I've owned an Amsec safe for many years. Very well made, 2 hr fire rating, and a good burglary...
Gotta agree with furry, I don't see it either.
Looks like a Philadelphia derringer to me.
I don't see anything wrong with it, looks like a nice AU coin to me. Personally I'd grade it 55, it just has bit too much wear on the reverse to...
I'd bet my last dollar that's not PVC residue on those coins. But your point is still valid, corrosion is contagious to other coins too. But they...
There is no way to say one way or the other just from looking at the picture.
TaborTot - Simply put the coins are covered with corrosion. And as Jim said, while you can get it off by using an acid or alkali , there is no...
Not sure why you think that's a striking error, or even what a striking error might be. But I'd say the coin is AU50, not enough luster to justify...
Yeah Dave, I think the TPGs have plenty of uses. And, as I have said countless times, they are without a doubt the single best thing that ever...

Apparently what you don't realize is that many auctions on Heritage and Stacks have reserve prices set by the consignor. If that reserve is not...
OK, who can tell me what US coins were not legal tender even though they were minted and released into circulation by the US Mint, and when they...
What constitutes a variety, and what constitutes an error, is a battle that has been going on among numismatists for generations and will still be...
Yeah, but you can get it cheaper here - http://www.jpscorner.com/magnifiers-and-loupes.html
That's because there are many different ways of harsh cleaning and they don't all have the same tell tale signs. Light scratches and hairlines are...
You can argue the benefits of buying expensive loupes if you want, but a cheap one is definitely not going to ruin your eyes. The things aren't...
Maybe so. But it's pretty obvious what the coin is. And it sure wouldn't surprise me if potential buyers estimated it would grade a good bit...
Never seen an encased Morgan before, thanks for sharing that !
No, acetone will not remove toning. And there are many other things that acetone will not remove either.
