The granularity of the surfaces points to some post-mint damage. It could be just environmental damage, and could be a genuine coin. But, if you...
I don't see any Blakesley effect at all, and I'd expect to for a clip of this size (although, not guaranteed). The pictures are too blurry to...
Florence Schook Kind of hard to see the K with the wire. https://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v09n19a07.html
Got my plaque today. Looks so nice. And there was a bonus coin! Wasn't expecting that! [ATTACH]
When we are talking toning, technically is often not best. That dime is currently, technically, top pop (for soapbax Anacs... a small segment)....
Is the reverse of the 58D Franklin toned as well? That is classic mint set toning, and I like it.
I'd probably put it at a 53. Not enough color for my tastes, but the luster appears nice, the strike is good, and I don't see any major...
Ah, I haven't been around much recently. Is he on your ignore list? This is what he posted, and I agree with it:
Almost certainly, machine doubling.
Oh, I'm pretty sure Corgi nailed it.
I believe the one on the right is genuine. The one on the left is a fake coin in a fake slab.
Here's a bit more modern description ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaing_machine I'm not sure what the top one is, but there's only one...
The slab photos seem to show a scruffier coin with less luster than your initial photos. Still, 61 seems a bit low.
I think I top out at 63 based on those pictures. However... I'm almost always a point low on your GTGs.
I'll be honest... I really didn't expect my set to win... that's just a throw-together grab-bag piece-meal of my real set. If you're actually...
Where your set ranks doesn't mean as much to me... I'm not chasing "best classic" or "best modern" set. To me, the presentation is the most...
Two in one year? You need to slow down a bit man and give the rest of us a chance to catch up! Haha, seriously though... I'm not sure if anyone...
Congrats to everyone who won an award! I recognize a few names on the list, some of them members here. Apologies if I don't tag you (feel free to...
No, that is not a cud. The coin underneath is fine - and the rim that's exposed is not distorted. That is extra material added to the coin. It...
AU-58. You don't see as many 1921s with attractive toning, it seems.
Separate names with a comma.
