Thanks for all the replies. The two images with the near-black background were taken with the coin under the harsh direct light of 5 Jansjo lamps....
I would very much appreciate your opinions on this '77-D Eisenhower Dollar, and whether or not it would have a chance at getting a PL designation...
The purple hue just doesn’t look right to me. It’s too...... vivid.
Absolutely. This one has several of those sulfur spots on both sides. See that spot on the eagle’s wing? It looks like the offending substance was...
Got my half dollar sets in today. The curved coin is tricky to photograph. I had to change up the lighting quite a bit between the obverse and...
This is an AT coin. I have one like it too. Notice that little white halo spot right across from the tip of Ike's nose on your coin? These little...
No wonder that got a star. Well deserved. :wideyed:
Nice 66, @JPeace$ - I have plans to acquire an 1881-S in 66 too when the right one shows up.
Thanks, @tibor. You're absolutely right. My slab shots are definitely "glamour" as I combine the TrueView images with my picture of the slabbed...
Yeah, I have the same thoughts. The 63 coin looks incredible. However, the 63 has a hit on Liberty's lower jaw line and a couple of nasty gashes...
I recently purchased my very first MS65 Morgan Dollar. It's an 1881-S, my favorite date/mm. Perhaps there are a few guys on here who'd like to...
I bought this Ike from Troy Weaver, who has the ALL TIME finest Ike registry set. He said his company, Mint State Modern Coins, found the Ike in a...
I don't have any black core NGC holders, but I do have a 2016 silver panda with a red core. I didn't know NGC made cores like the West Point and...
I agree. I do like NGC’s special labels. They look far and away better than those of PCGS. There is no comparison really, IMO. I like PCGS’s Gold...
Thanks, guys!
Thought this was neat- the PCGS main page has a new banner ad showing their new Apollo label, and they used my 1976-S MS68 Ike as a model coin...
The last Red Book I bought was the 2012 edition. :wideyed: The FEV isn't listed.
Sure did. Hehe. My 71-D T2 reverse in PCGS MS66? $75. My 71-D T1 FEV VEDS (re-entry vehicle visible) in PCGS MS66? That set me back $375- and that...
I looked at that one as well, but I'll probably get one without lights since I have 5 Jansjo lamps.
How about this Smith Victor? Says it supports up to 8 lbs. I was hoping for some reviews on Amazon, but there aren't any....
