Wikipedia actually has a pretty good description of web notes. Just do a search under that. I def. learned something new today.
Thanks for all the responses. I still feel like I probably overpaid on both, but that's how lessons are learned. I think the $2 bill is def. CU...
I'm just starting to get into notes a bit, but I'm not sure what defines CU versus AU. Can a CU be crisp but have on fold down the middle? Or does...
I have a cheapo Bounty Hunter, but the consensus usually seems to be that White's are indeed the best.
GIMP is def. a great program is you don't have access to PS or the cash to blow on buying the suite.
I purchased my '43 S for $15, and it's probably around the MS-63/5 range. That seems to be as high as they run, unless we're talking about TPG...
That means...I'M A DARKSIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm delighted!
I ran a search on this board and on Google, but I didn't find a satisfactory answer. I'm guessing the term has something to do with fake coins?
I bought the 58th Ed. (2004) off half.com for just a few bucks, and it came in the mail last week. I haven't thumbed through it all that much...
Those silver or nickel? *EDIT - Ha, nevermind*
Well, it may not be a small-letter variety, but at least it's the first in a new type: the Picasso Capped Bust. I'm very proud of it. This coin is...
I agree: fake! But seriously, that looks a billion times better than my 1917 Type I, which is only about VG. Congrats on the acquisition.
I hope you were riding a fixed-gear! That's the only way to go in the messengering world, IMO.
Har, har! YES, I KNOW IT HAS A BIG SCRATCH! BE KIND!! At least it's a well-proportioned scar. Very pre-Cubist, indeed. :mouth:
Thanks for the input. I would like to think that the obv. would grade at least G, but the stars on the left are worn right into the rim, and that...
Proofs aren't my thing, but I have two as part of my type set (a Franklin and a '64 Kennedy). Still, those were some fun facts.
Yeah, I though streaky planchets were associated with older U.S. large cents and half-cents. I would hope that by 1938 the Mint would know how to...
And yeah, someone put a very distracting scratch in a very noticeable field on the obv. Boo. :vanish:
Hey, all. I was given this reeded Capped Bust by my roommate as a graduation gift. She somehow found out about the coin shop I normally visit, and...
Separate names with a comma.
