62. Muted luster with some market acceptable breaks for MS.
For Morgans it has to do with the date. If it's a date that has a lot of prooflike, the bar is raised for what gets the designation, especially...
I always pay way too much there as well, but the quality is always worth it.
Yeah, a lot of competition there. You try Macho?
Glad you got it. I was watching that one as it's spectacular, but I didn't bid. That's a bit earlier than where I start my ducat collection at.

Saflips are what you want. You can find them everywhere.
"Off" implies incorrectly that there is always, objectively, a correct and precise grade. The problem is that grading frequently attempts to...
A microscope can help to enlarge details you can already see with the naked eye or a 5x loupe, but if you need a microscope to see it, it's just...
A couple new pickups: Hungary 1868KB Krajczar NGC MS65 RB I have this issue as an MS65 BN and wouldn't normally upgrade just for color, but I've...
Resoak the coin in fresh acetone. The second you remove it from the acetone, hold it vertically and rinse it with distilled water. The spots will...
