Details-wise it's a solid EF. Those maks are murder, though. If I were to net-grade it I would call it an F-15 to VF-20, depending on how it...
Good color, except what's going on in front of Liberty's profile? That looks really peculiar. Nice coin for a type set. If you ever upgrade and...
Hey, cool! Thanks for putting on such a fun contest. I'm sure I wasn't alone in enjoying everything about it.
I see no displaced material on the edge of the area in question, so you may be right.
If anyone wants to chat I end up spending most of my time at John Burns' table, or not finding any nice, affordable copper on my way to John.
My guess is that NGC called it a 66. I doubt I would, but...
I'll be there. Another bit of specific advice - leave your coat in the car, no matter how chilly it may be that day. This is more relevant to...
Minor cracks on a modern coin carry little to no premium - sorry. They are neat though, and there's nothing that says you can't add it to your...
I have a D40x with the Sigma 150mm macro (which is a fairly heavy lens indeed), and I have a big, heavy-duty old 40-inch Olympus copy stand that I...
I like the Half Cent Die State Book by Ron Manley. You can find it for about $60-$65 if you look (or PM me and I'll put you in contact with a...
The resolution on my phone's display isn't that great, but from what I can see I'd call it an above-average EF40. With better pics and from my...
Very nice-looking coins. I think NGC nailed the firsst Franklin, but that the second two are overgraded by one point each. I would probably call...
Experiment with Verdigone (tm) on copper cents I found this post on "Experiment with Verdigone (tm) on copper cents" interesting and have...
This is the second time this week that, essentially, the same question has been asked. Conder101 said it best when he recommended one buy the red...
You're lucky indeed, doubly so to have it in writing. I hope your luck continues.
The first looks kinda flat - do you think it was dipped or just bad lighting on the pic?
Did you even try googling? First hit for the title of the book without the "volume 1" on it is this URL. http://www.dvnmagazine.com/Volume_II.html
Why slabbed? I have a raw coin pedigreed back to the early 1940s. Ugly, corroded, rare. I have others that I can trace back to being plated in...
Never try to get a partial refund. The seller won't go for it and you'll get exactly the kind of response you got. If you don't like it, either...
If you can, check the weight against tolerances. If the planchet were too thin, thaat could cause problems with the detail not striking up as...
Separate names with a comma.
