Nope. There's a sucker born every minute.
What exactly do you mean by this? You mean, how can you tell if the proof coin has been cleaned (post mint)? Or how can you tell if the proof die...
:mouth: That's funny. That thing won't be completed for many, many years.
Feel free to nominate this thread, xtrmbrdr, I won't mind at all ;) To answer your questions: The actual shape of the "spokes" on the...
Thanks! You can see the rest of my set on the NGC Registry here:...
Very glad to hear that. And thanks for the nomination, speedy.
And the answer is: ANACS EF-45, O-112, R3. Mark H nailed it.
I've heard of people doing this. Its quite an interesting idea, in my opinion, although I'm focusing elsewhere. If I were to do it, I would try...

Especially when. If you are getting that much of a discount on a $700 coin, I immediately think one of two things - either the price guide you are...
To clarify Mark's post - cartwheel and luster can be used interchangeably, yes. Luster will always "cartwheel," or appear to move in a circular...
I'm going to have to agree - 1827 is one of the hardest. 1834 isn't too bad, because there are so many subtypes. Anytime you can narrow it down to...
I've said it a thousand times, I'll say it again. Book value means nothing. It is a guide. It is also old and outdated - prices change daily, most...
Ok, first we're going to start with seeing the cartwheel. Go get one of your slabbed Morgan's (by a Top TPG - PCGS or NGC) and a strong light...
Hear, hear! This is one of the first tricks to being able to spot cleaned/polished coins. Once you get it the first time, once you make that first...
