I would appreciate opinions on the defect/damaged area of the obverse behind the ear - bad planchet, bad die? Two pics enclosed - 2nd one is...
Amen brother! Bring back the wheat reverse. I find the proposed designs shown earlier in this thread repugnant - they look like play money.
Does anyone else vividly recall a coin they regret not purchasing? Mine was a 1920-D Lincoln in MS-64RB I could have picked up a couple years...
Thanks for the props. If this idea catches on, I want my 15 minutes of coin geek fame on Larry King Live. :high5:
Here ya go, did a quickie using a scanner. Gotta run to work now and earn some more coin money. [IMG]
Heh heh, yah I don't like the Airtight books either. The Dansco fits in with the rest of my stuff, and believe me the presentation looks nice...
a. Use a Half-Dollar "Titled Page" from Dansco which will have 20 ports per page. b. Buy Airtight direct-fit holders for cents (19mm), the outer...

Lincoln red blue purple What do you think of this? I've seen this pattern and color before, and always thought it to be natural.....could it be...
I have two coins in my collection I am hesitant to self-grade. BTW the "chocolate & caramel" as I call it is lovely, I never seen this type of...
I've been considering upgrading my 1926-D, and have noted many obverses, even on F/S coins, have what I think is a very unusual slanting T. Does...
Thanks for all the responses. I learned a lot about how the grade was arrived at. This is an ex-NGC MS64-RB.
Picked this up about a year ago. The photo picks up the gorgeous toning pretty well. Question: What is your opinion on the grade? Details on...
I have heard in 1943 that with the steel planchets the dies cracked more frequently. I picked up a 43-D and 43-S in PCGS holders graded MS-67....
Most likely the ( edited & edited ) is not dead, just temporarily vanquished. She is the (edited) of the (edited) (edited) (edited). And a...
Yikes. I hope they never use recent Presidents, too much controversy. They might as well make a Monica Lewinsky Commem coint at the Mint! LoL....
Thanks once again for the education. That's why I ask. I'll have to scrutinize my Lincolns for this - I assume that would be a good way to make...
Here's an interesting blurb on the NGC site in an article about the 2003 Statehood Quarters: "the 70 grade comes down to any hairlines or spots...
I am enclosing a picture of what I call radial scratching for lack of a better term. I have seen this to some degree on every statehood silver...
I have over 300 Intercept Shields and here's a good guess at what happened: Somewhere along the line you interchanged one top-cover with a...
