A couple of questions for this coin. 1) Is this the classic Snow-1 1894/1894? 2) How would you grade the coin considering the scratches on the...
Ugh, that is a consideration. I thought the toning looked genuine here. I will have to get the coin into my hands, and check the reverse under a...
Whizzing is applying a coating of material onto the coin, to give it a luster that has likely worn off due to circulation or cleaning.
Wow, now I am getting schooled. Thank you for the feedback and images. I will return the coin. I didn't trust my instincts on this. I was...
Thanks, all very helpful. I will have to wait to have the coin, to get a better look at the detail. Glad to have the references. Thank you...
I see and hear what you are saying. I think the toning might not have been understood either. One can only command a price that people will give....

Thanks for the feedback physics-fan. I appreciate the candor.
Thank you for the post. Always nice to have the chemistry behind the artistry.
Pondering the toning of my new IHC.
Yup. Some of these were stored in the old sulpher based holders, and toned (over time) in pretty strange ways. I like the effect. I don't...
Well, I bought this one on eye appeal. Anyone care to comment, grade, venture a sense of value on this 1886 Type I IHC? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I feel for ya. I don't have great stuff at home. I can see more on the magnified images of e-bay usually. I have been training my eyes to pick...
