Definitely!!!!!! Those coins you got are AWESOME!
Thanks Lehigh, now I have to figure out the difference between booming luster, average luster and satin luster lol. I guess the overall lesson...
Excellent post Jason, the French Indochine 50 cents perfectly illustrates what you have been trying to convey. I see it perfectly now. So,...

Very nice write up Jason, thanks for taking the time to do so. I can certainly identify cartwheel, and I kind of learn by doing and seeing the...

Cool coins schatzy! I wasn't aware cameos were available outside of proofs. How do thay come about?
Thanks for all the replys everyone. Most of what you see in pics will never be seen in hand, or even with 5x magnification, and it has fantastic...
