Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just wanted to mention that if any CoinTalk members are interested in either of the encased uncirculated...
The cool thing about this one is that there are still raw some matte proofs out there that went through the same toning process, yet to be...
Hi Matt, great point. The obverse is only average in eye appeal, if that. The offset concept makes sense.
In fear of this thread spiraling off in the wrong direction, I'll mention that I'm not concerned about whether this coin is or is not a proof, or...
In-hand that wouldn't be a worry to you. The obverse has a dusty film on it that would easily be affect by the slightest rub. It's obvious that...
For you matte proof collectors...I'm curious as to what sort of premium wildly toned matte proofs bring over more average toned ones. I'm...
Thanks for all of the advice, guys!
Marshall, I guess it depends...if they are happy images you're seeing, you might be better off just living with them. If they are mean to you,...
My priority with the image files was that for attribution purposes I wanted people to be able to view pictures as large and clear as they came off...
Here is the reverse of the 1900 $5 piece. I increased the jpeg compression to make it work with a different host, so it may appear a bit fuzzier...
A customer sent them to me for approval...it's up to me whether I want to take them, and I am the one to make him an offer.
I better find a way to upload the reverse of the 1900 $5 to avoid confusion and also let that coin be better evaluated. It just keeps freezing...
Matt, I'd say the luster is well represented in the pictures compared to in-hand under a good light. (I used halogen.) The 1900 $5 piece has...
GDJMSP, I just realized how stupidly confusing my original post was with the wrong numbers being used, so I edited it to read correctly. (I...
I received a Liberty Head $5 and a $10 from a customer, and I never deal with gold so I need help with authenticating them. I am hoping with...
Thanks for the help. I checked out the thread you linked to, which only confirmed my suspicions that detecting counterfeits of gold coins takes...
I have a severely underpriced 1920 PCGS MS66 RD Lincoln Cent up on eBay that is ending tonight, March 23. It lists for $1150 on the PCGS price...
Hmm, not really what I was asking. I know the basics of numismatics. What I don't have experience with is detecting the look of the common...
Is there an existing thread or tutorial here about authenticating gold coins to which someone could direct me? I searched around some and...
I agree. I think this whole thing is actually an all-in-one shot to suck you in and get you at the same time. The $20 max FVF is not marketed to...
