The one I got from the CMC of Naval Reactors I earned. I proudly display that one on my desk at work. It was awarded to me personally by him. The...
Well, unfortunately the *LAW* as currently written disagrees with you. As @Coinchemistry 2012 has explained many times, both here and on the NGC...
I'd grade it VF. Nice score! What about the Panamanian coins interests you?
An editor makes an enormous difference. When I was getting ready to publish my book, I didn't have a formal "editor" per se, but I sent it for...
Now when y'all say "LRBC"..... what do you mean?
I don't know anything at all about these. But, good luck in your quest.
What do y'all look for in an Athenian owl? Do you look for a "full crest"? (I've heard that term thrown about, but not entirely sure what...
Weird there's no grade. I would have left it in the slab myself, because that's how the rest of my collection is. I like the display of the slab,...

I don't see any evidence of ex-jewelry, paddy. But yes, I agree that the coin has definitely been cleaned. I'd call it EF details, cleaned. For...
Fantastic info! Saved me $150! I just picked up Sear's Greek Imperial Coins and Volumes I and II of Roman Coins and their Values. I also just...
Well, I just bought both volumes of Sear's Greek Coins and their Values, so I'll give them a read. I also picked up Sear's Greek Imperial Coins...
I am the photographer. Thanks! The coin is currently in a 67PL holder. I agree that the spots are distracting. I would probably grade this one...
Those settings should be fine. I guess the vellum is muting the light a bit too much. May I ask what your intention was with the vellum? I've...
Because it's illegal? Read the law. It's quite clear. Honestly? The photo is severely underlit. You appear to be using two lights. I would...
No, the D is in pale imitation of the Denver mint. He is unwilling to sign his counterfeits.
There have been multiple threads where the legal argument has been presented. Must we go through that again? And just because Carr says that the...
