I am no expert of this subject, but I do know that China is dumping our dollars and the G 20 summit focused on selling off the dollar. As well...
Gotcha Charmy. That makes sense, and I am sure in hand it's beautiful in hand.
Charmy- was reviewing this thread and zoomed in on this coin. I don't know how one would consider it not having wear on the feathers. Also there...
I bought a set from a coin show and all were heat sealed individually. Most were 64 RD to 66+ and some 67's easily. This set was unbelieveable...
I think you meant to say "this group will come up with many reasons it is post mint damage". Post mint damage will render it less valuable. I...
Wow- great memorials. I like memorials too. Don't collect graded ones, but agree with you guys- hard to find high grade.

Phil- if that's your pile of gold in your Avitar, you have done ok:whistle::bigeyes: I am nearing 40 and most of the people I know at the shops...

Thanks guys. Power Shot Canon 7 Megapixels. It's more about practice and lighting. I am no pro on photos. Just have taken thousands, so you...
I think I will have to revive this tomorrow am. It must be too late for a Monday night?
Is this a DDR? I found this coin randomly- I can't even remember where I found this coin. I don't normally do roll searching. Is the MD or DDR. I...
I should add it seemed some of the oil was breaking down the dark toning somewhat. I did olive oil a few days as well and it really started...
Jim- tried to get the photos that put this coin in the worst light. The S VDB, I cracked out of the NCS slab and soaked in mineral oil x about 3...
Scratches? Come on. Wonderful coin. Someone criticized my coin (in the exact same way) and I was vulnerable and tried to "fix" it. You know...
4,201. That's my guess.
I guess you kids had fun with their Marks A Lot pens!
Jim- does this contradict what you said above? You said the coins have mellowed out after a month or so? Would this help my S VDB? (Don't worry...
