Howdy folks - Been rather bogged down with projects at work and haven't had a chance to create a few GTGs. Instead, figured I'd just share some...
Detailed variety attribution for Bust halves, akin to VAM for Morgan/Peace or Fortin numbers for Seated Liberty dimes. Name comes from 1967 book...
Mine is this Overton 106a 1825 Bust half dollar - [ATTACH] Have a handful of raw 1830s bust coins, but none as well preserved as this half.
I think it's MS64*. Seeing a few minor, yet noticeable marks. Excellent luster is evident. Note- voted MS64; appended * afterwards :) Edit-...
I swap between my no-date Buffalo nickel and no-date SLQ as markers :)
I pulled up Kings Wild Project's site -- they've got TONS of very creative and beautifully executed decks. ...you may have awoken a monster...
Exceptionally cool looking deck of cards!!
I'm hoping the Peace dollar is high relief as well. Especially if they can get that awesome sandblast/matte proof look from the early 20th...
This past week I learned something new, which could be somewhat related to the toning question posted above. I believe I read it in 'A Guide Book...
Thinking MS64+PL. The suffix is a bit of a guess via photos; in hand, I find it infinitely easier to identify if it's got that proof-like...
I think this is the best I can do with the given resolution of the photo -- [ATTACH]
Lovely SLQs! Re: Full Head - https://www.pcgs.com/grades#gradeFH and they've got a link to a short PCGS youtube clip as well.
100% called it :)
Yall let this thread fall to the 8th page?! Cmon now... ;) ;) Two of my recent reholders. Stone Mountain is graded (an icky) MS64. The San...
PCGS originally graded this MS62 DMPL, in an older green holder. On a recent resubmission, this actually upgraded to an MS63+ DMPL. I thought it...
Many folks close. PCGS graded this AU50. To me, it looks around 53, but unfortunately the experts out in California disagreed.
In 1921, and very briefly in 1922, Peace dollars were struck in high relief. However, the US Mint found that this deteriorated the dies far too...
Thought I'd share one more GTG today, one of my two 1921 high relief Peace dollars -- [ATTACH] This particular coin was a birthday gift back in...
Howdy folks! Hope yall had a nice holiday break! I've been bit busy and quiet the last few weeks, but got a few new TrueViews and thought I'd...
Agreed; 100%. I thought I remembered reading that the buttons on their chests should be crystal clear for MS66. Likely the photo is making this...
