Numismedia puts it at $35 in 65, $115 in 66, $550 in 67, and apparently none known in 68 or higher. I don't have any experience grading MS...
Even in these blurry photos, I can see spots on the coin. If there are no hits or other marks, maybe it would get MS68. Raw, you'd probably be...
Yeah, I really wish I could sit down with my Mom's dad (who got my brother and me into the hobby), and show him what I've found and what I've...
I don't like affiliate links, especially not ones with confidence-inspiring names like "woobox". So if anybody does want to give their info to...

No, it's about Laser-Stimulated Fluorescence being used on fossils, as it says in the abstract. It mentions some elemental analysis they did on...
When I started collecting, the coin magazines were full of stories (including cover stories) about errors. That was over fifty years ago. I don't...
The Advanced Photon Source (which I linked above) is a billion-dollar facility.
It's a good idea to read articles before posting links to them. The first one is completely irrelevant to XRF, and the second is a general...

Tonight, I'll not only sleep soundly, I'll sleep smugly. :smug:
