No, I'm referring to extension perspective distortion, and if I'm that surprised at the capabilities of modern cameras I should probably quit...
I never really looked at 69's trying to find 70's, so I'll have to take your word on that. It's intuitively plausible, anyway. The trouble with...
You can't adjust for the perspective distortion inherent in macro photography, marked and all out of proportion to the angle of view. And really...
I haven't made a goal out of studying 70's in various TPG slabs over the last ten years or so, but all the same when the occasion arises I check...
It won't matter; we'd still be comparing to a poor image which has distortions we don't know about. And those distortions are affected by focal...
This calls for a poll. Hie you hence to General Discussion, where we shall settle the issue. :)
When cash stops changing hands, even clad coins will have collector value. :p
No, Cascade got it right the first time, as usual. I just want people to start doing this for themselves, rather than waiting for the rest of us...
There are a quarter of a million 1881-S Morgans in PCGS plastic alone, and almost that many at NGC. An "upgrade" would only mean it joined the...
Relatively trivial. The reverse says 36/37 - you can see the one farther spike coming off the bottom of the arrow fletches, and the dual...
A little of both, I think. :) Heaven knows I'd be paranoid if I had a genuine coin like that, but it's hardly the first they've handled, nor by a...
Agreed; there should be detail at the top of the headdress and bottom of the hair which isn't present. Seems as if the coin has circulated.
I propose that each slab come with a passport-style booklet into which the various stickers can be pasted as slab space is limited. Then, of...
That seems like a good working theory, for the moment.. I really can't see that one spot failing to wear like the rest of the coin unless it was...
The auction had been ended by the seller before you posted that. :)
Those aren't "pedigrees." They're mutts. :) Pedigrees are about provenance, and I just can't see provenance in "was once in a huge bag with a...
No, because with that knowledge, all I have to tell you is this: Find the narrowest aperture that keeps you from diffraction (it's math, not trial...
Yep, another person to pester for help with attributions. :)
I suppose the best answer depends on your definition of "a fortune," and how close you want to come to the best images on this site. My setup is...
It's not necessarily worth that much to me, but what I think isn't relevant. In the real world, if I want one that's what my competition for that...
