Yeah I saw those analyzers in a YouTube video. They're super fast, too, to boot. Super expensive, too. And, I tried to search online for coin...
If there's a new coin design contest, then I really hope it's in the "classic" style. Even the finish should be classic (e.g. concave up to...
I would like to see what a newly struck coin looks like, both for proofs and business strikes. Then the same for toned, dipped, cleaned, etc....
How about English coins that are Scottish-themed? I saw the ones for the Scottish games (Highlands, I believe), and the ones with the three...
How about commemorative ones then?
Is it the one with this reverse? It looks very nice. I do wonder why there aren't more silver coins dedicated to Scotland... would that be viewed...
Do you live near a beach? I hear those are good spots for metal detecting.

It was my understanding that reverse proofs would be designated as proofs or "PF" by NGC (proofs by TPGs and collectors). But why are the Mexico 1...
Will do. Sometimes I do wonder if the "inconclusive"-toning-by-pics suggests that toning was added to disguise certain types of damage or wear....
If a coin accidentally fell into a solution that causes toning within minutes or seconds, then is that natural since it's unintended? Or is it...
The second one? That's a Mexican 1 oz Libertad.
There appears to be plenty of even wear throughout. I'm not sure how to look at the edges, as these Japanese 1 Shu coins have all different cuts...
I am tempted to get this... I bought a 1924 50 Kopeks today so this'll make a good pair. Besides the possibility of it being AT (or despite it),...
It's up for auction now.
