Older coin flips were usually made of PVC, which creates green residue when it reacts with copper. The toning on your coin is not from the PVC or...
Are any quarters allowed in this chat or only certain dates and types?
It looks cleaned but that may be from the lighting reflecting and amplifying the wear. Try taking a photo at an angle that doesn't reflect the...

I've never seen a US gold coin, but for luster on Morgan dollars it is created when the metal spreads out into the planchet casing from the center...
These are only iPhone photos so obviously not the best, but I'll take some much better photos with my actual camera later this evening. I felt...

What Sensible Sal uses it the basic way. Your camera is much more advanced than that and it seems to be a pretty capable camera. I have the Nikon...
Hey everyone, I'm back after three months off the hobby, and I'm back with better coins than ever before. Within the next two weeks, some graded...
Pictures please
