That particular coin looks to have led a rough life, and yes, there was likely something applied to it. I've not seen cents turn those colors...
I like this one at 45. I think there is just a touch too much wear and not enough luster for AU. And its definitely not a 53!
I would imagine Newman's guide would be on the Newman Numismatic Portal, isn't it?
You can find very high quality examples of both MS and PR. It just depends on what you want. Cameo is nice, but it's going to cost more of course....
Your experience and mine have been very different, apparently. I've had the same Canon T3i for 6 years now, through two different computers. I...
Little sister is cool cause they have a hole in it: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

The second 1882CC is the clear winner of the bunch for me. Several of these have an extreme amount of marks on her cheek, and this one is clearly...
Yours does not look like a Large 8 in my opinion.
Your photos are very dark, taken at an angle, and slightly out of focus. Could you try taking the pictures straight on, with better light?
Great Collections is known for taking very bright images, almost washed out sometimes. In hand, it probably does show at least some luster. It may...
Different approaches for different shows. The cost to put on the show is quite different, and I'm sure the table fee for a dealer will be...
I don't know about that. I'm a great deal younger than you are ;)
He posted more pictures because I asked him to. And yes, when looking for varieties, more pictures at different angles very well could change...
What does it weigh compared to a normal one? It's entirely possible for copper to tone any number of colors, but that does look weird. The...
Only like 150... but the show is exclusively focused on foreign and ancient coins. Collectors of ancient and foreign coins would very often skip...
