Seated Liberty coins with arrows at the date caught my fancy 10-15 years ago. I kept plugging away until I completed the set; half dimes through...
I want there to be no question about the coins that I have in my type set. Hence they are ALL slabbed (NGC or PCGS only).
IMO I suggest removing all the cents from the album and putting them in 2x2's. Those albums were not known for protecting (environmentally) coins...
Thanks for all of the responses. I can now put them in 2x2's and label them. What then? I'll try them on eBay and if they don't make it there...
Coin 1 (Chinese Cash coin - as much additional info as possible for this one) [IMG] [IMG] Coin 2 [IMG] [IMG] Coin 3 [IMG] [IMG] Coin 4 [IMG]...
Will NGC or PCGS do Snow attributions rather than FS if requested? Do Snow and FS attributions overlap 100%, i.e., does every Snow type also have...
Ah ha! Indian Head cents. I know them Snow's guides. Be interesting to see how they match up.
One of my favorite expressions: "If you buy a coin with a problem, you'll always have a coin with a problem."
Considering how long I've been a numismatist, it may be strange (even embarrassing) that I don't know where the FS attribution comes from. What's...
Actually ... yes!
Very much the same as an oil slick on water. When the thickness of the film is in the area of the wavelength of visible light some colors are...
IMO, too linear to be a die crack. I'm agreeing with die scratch.
Actually 2 coins. In 1941 the proof half dollars came out in 2 varieties: with and without the designer's initials. As I understand it the Mint...
I have no problems with what my kids are going to give me for Father's Day. I don't have any kids -- intentionally.
Of course. I'm just testing image quality. On GP's I redid the scan at 600 dpi. I think it made a positive difference. I won't give a grade...
I want to list a bunch of low catalog value coins. They are in 2x2's and I want to avoid the task and cost of removing them and then putting them...
The yen has been running about 1¢ (100¥ ~ $1) each for the past 5-10 years. When I was there in 1965 it was about 360¥ to the dollar.
If the TPG deems the "damage" occurred during the striking process the it would straight grade. That covers such things as die scratches, die...
Condor, thanks for the Sheldon Number
Could be. But at least I could see marks, edge problems and folds. If crinkling is the unseen problem, at least on eBay I could file a SNAD if it...
Separate names with a comma.
