Yours shares a similar feel to my 63. I believe this type of toning comes from an album. [ATTACH]
If you think about how the dies are aligned, it matches with the M of Monticello. Notice the O behind his head, and the outline of his head on the...
*Very* nice toning on a 63D! I especially like the reverse.
Nice clash, and great toning.
No. A 64 would not have the same sort of toning as your 58. In 58, the mint sets were shipped in cardboard holders, hence the toning (from the...
That is something known as "Longacre Doubling." It is not true doubling at all, and is very common on coins of that era. You can read more about...

Its a poorly worded paragraph, but it means that the gold had too much alloy (silver and copper). The standards they are referring to are for the...
My first reaction when I see something like is some residue from a cleaning. The coin has clearly been cleaned, so this seems likely. It could...
Smoke smells will never be removed from coins by airing them out. Whoever told you that is nose-blind from their own smoking. These people are...
64FBL. To be fair, I've never seen a 48D that *wasn't* a FBL.
I don't know why anyone would not like the comment, Insider. Casting or counterfeiting explains the surfaces and mushiness of the image far better...
If the coin is a counterfeit, as Insider suspects (and which seems reasonable), the TPGs still won't slab it (with a few notable exceptions, such...
I just realized... the third picture in the OP reveals some incredibly intriguing micro-patterns. The picture doesn't show unless you click on it....
The only thing left I can think of is "whizzing", where a small tool with a very high RPM head polishes a metal. I've never seen it used to cut...
Separate names with a comma.
