Don't like them. I have a dozen or so, but I find them commonplace and dull. I have to admit the design lends itself to wonderful strikes. And...
She said that some guy was in McDonald's with lots of coins that the cashier wouldn't accept, who wanted a block of cheese. Who wanted the...
That's it. I spoke with NGC when, after three months, they hadn't rendered a verdict. I was told the hits and wear to the mintmark made it...
Thanks for asking. And following the thread! Who would have thought the two TPG's could finally agree on something? NGC said "beats me" too! LOL....
LOL. It's a hoot. Lance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXN_tYK39oQ&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLC003E0E683C38A4D
You are very precise, Marshall. When I attribute CBH's I no longer start with star and dentil position or even letter placement. I go for the...
He made it feel like a present. But who would allow that? I paid him a fair price which was much more than he expected. We both won. Lance.
I was at Laguna Seca raceway this weekend, running a motorcycle event, when one of the older riders handed me a baggy of coins and said, "I hear...
It looks like "Ike" has become my nickname. I don't mind it either. Eisenhower was a hero of mine. But for the record my forum name is LKEIGWIN...
Here's a new (to me) 1830 large 0 CBH that arrived today. I bought it from a CU forum member. It seems certain it was dipped at one time but...
Thanks, Matt. Here it is. It's always fun buying a raw coin from so-so pix, being surprised by it, and getting a fair shake from the TPG. Wish it...
Probably best to drop this. I thought it might be fun and educational but it's neither. Lance.
Fun coins! I'd guess, 60 (sorry, don't like it), 63, 64, and 50. Lance.
Cleaned and color are separate but sometimes related issues. Don't confuse the two. Lance.
I can do that, Bob, if you're okay with a late Memorial proof...say mid 1990's. But it would be an untoned one. I think MS70 reacts with toning...
P.S. I'm assuming that everyone knows the TPGs never say "counterfeit". They say "questionable authenticity". I asked PCGS about this one time...
Here is what PCGS had to say (pix below). Funny, isn't it? We always say a key, especially a highly counterfeited one, should be sent to the best...
Perfect! Everyone guessed the '14-D. Congratulations, everyone. It is a genuine 1914 Lincoln with an added mintmark. It might fool a novice but...
Both of these Lincolns were found in an estate collection I bought years ago. Because they are keys they were submitted to PCGS for certification...
I never heard the "rule" that polish lines must always travel the same direction. No argument that that is usually the case. But it seems obvious...
Separate names with a comma.
