Not "very difficult". Impossible. Two separate hubs. Each side (obverse and reverse) is hubbed separately at different times. They make a whole...
Well, I certainly wouldn't call it "super" toned. It definitely appears original. I'd call it a coin with mostly average eye appeal and a splash...
I guess a good question is: what is your experience and comfort in buying rare coins? I see that you say you have "dabbled" for a few years. Are...
Sure, it's available on Amazon. Just beware, that stuff seems quite a bit nastier than acetone. And I have absolutely no idea how it interacts...
That would be a really cool set. Thinking outside of the standard "coin set", I could see a poster-sized (or larger) display (or more than one)...
That's only half of the PL Jeffersons I've got ;)
PL Jefferson's are far more common than you think. I own several of them. The coolest are the War nickels, but those can be pricey. Most dates are...
That's cool. I figured it was possible, I just hadn't heard of it before. No, it can't. The obverse and reverse dies are made at different times...
I think what they are trying to say is, during the die making process there was some debris on the hub, and thus the die has a "strikethrough" on...
Trying to straighten it is probably a very bad idea. Old coins like that, especially after having been in the ground, can often become quite...
The line from Tonga to French Oceania passes between a couple of other countries, but not through them. I think this counts? (These days, it's...
Oops, my bad, I scanned the first page and missed that.
Just read an interesting article on Coinweek. There has been a rash of fake gold bullion bars discovered recently. The bars contain the right...
Great job, and significant improvement after the second soak. I don't see any green anymore.
Do the reverse cameo coins have the same laser etched lizard skin cameo that regular proofs have? Or has mint technology moved away from this...
So y'all are saying you disagree? Yeah... me too. I'm disappointed in this one. I personally grade it 64 5FS PL. [ATTACH]
Pshaw, this low budget dreck. Who'd even have interest?...
Curious what you think, @Lehigh96
I think it's probably been dipped or cleaned at some point in the past, but I think it looks market acceptable. I think it has high EF sharpness,...
Biggest advice I can give: If you do go, plan on 3 days at the show. Look at the show schedule, and look for lectures and presentations. Look for...
Separate names with a comma.
