Oh yeah.... :vanish: I'm not interested in the first spouse coins, so I had forgotten they would issue the coin with an obverse from a coin...
I STILL haven't forgiven the US Mint for screwing up my order for this one. I will not pay the money being asked for this coin (at least I have...
Ok, pardon my ignorance. What is the "seated liberty FS" series? I've looked on the US Mint site and don't find this anywhere. I looked under...
lol...have not been around the forum much lately I did like your pics, especially the varieties. I have a complete collection of Ikes,...
You are right, many dealers look at IKEs as low end coins and keep them in boxes with little attention. I found a 71 Type 2 in a dealer's box...
The big difference with Littleton is that they have a reputation for being fairly honest and accurate with their gradings. It is their prices...
You mean like: "Cameo and Brilliant Proof: Coinage of the 1950 to 1970 Era" by Rick J. Tomaska This was first printed in 1991.
I absolutely agree with Leadfoot, a high grade for a silver Ike needs great luster. Looking at your pics, it is hard to tell how much luster...
If you check the archives, you will probably find a number of threads about this issue. I know I have participated in a couple before. Having...

If the book ever comes out (it's has been delayed a number of times now), Mark Goodman's "Numismatic Photography" will be a great book to get. He...
You may be able to make a Saflip airtight by heat sealing it, but the coin will still be able to move around in the Saflip. This still leaves...
If you just put the air-tites in directly to the 2 1/2" album page, you will probably find that they move around a bit. I've tried this with...
I was going to ask what equipment he used as well. I don't know if my wife will like me using mice to take these types of closeups though. :)
I don't know about the planchet flaw, but it appears that "GOD" may be doubled (can't tell from picture whether it is a DDO or a machine...
That price could be ok or outstanding. Check the "S" mint mark to see if it is a Type I or Type II, be sure to check each coin as there are proof...
Now, for the real interesting question. Is Lebanon the country you live in, or a town? :)
What kind of custom system are you considering? One for holding 2x2s better? Using AirTite/Kointain/... holders in an album?
