Speaking of "raw," I committed the sin of buying raw gold on eBay before the scales fell from my eyes, but luckily wasn't burned on this one:...
Hopefully, Lehigh, or someone else with expertise in this area, will see this thread. In the meantime, have a look, it is a pretty coin, imo....
I have to say, I have never seen a rainbow toned Saint before. How does a gold coin become toned like that?
Very choice examples! 3 lovely coins, well photographed. Thanks for posting them! Interesting that the 16-d and 42/1 have an almost identical die...
That's a really nice looking 58! Kanga's coin has a great, original look too. I'll have to dig mine out and image it, but I don't think it's the...

Brasso is also ok for polishing slabs, smear on a thin layer, let it dry, and polish with a soft cotton cloth. Towards the end, make the polishing...
I like your quarter, Matthew, that's one of my favorite designs. The date is significant, too, the year of the stock market crash. A quarter was...
I love the crust on the half dime! Very nice! I like the look of the IHC, too. They are very in demand, finding a nice one at a reasonable...
Very nice 1918's, WalkingD!
Yes, I remember a thread about whether proofs ever have cracks, and someone posted a proof shield nickel that had them. This is a very...
I think having the proof in the set adds a little "zing." Surprises are nice when browsing through an album, like the interesting toning on some...
Giving the thread a bump, and adding a 28-s to this show of circ Walkers: [IMG] [IMG]
That is a really, really nice example, Eduard; you have a killer early type set going! Keep up the good work(fun)!
