Kanga, I remember one on Fremont St (I think) in "old Vegas". Under the canopy. If you haven't been (to Fremont St) might be worth the visit. I...
does anyone see a double-strike on the date?
I think I have found a new appreciation for the copper penny. I collect Morgans but this penny is worth more than any one of my silver dollars....
Thank you, all for your opinions. Illini, I loved your pictorial on the grades - that was very nicely done! Yes, my picture-taking skills need...
Hello, I'm not a collector of IHs but I came upon this 1876 and would like your opinions on its grade and condition. Thank you, all Dave
After careful reconsideration, I take back my previous grading. I would never make a good grader, just don't pay enough attention to detail. The...
Weren't the early Peace coins printed with a matte finish? My guess is MS62, maybe $325, but I'm just a rookie at this. A very nice coin!
Thanks for the replies. Is it the angle of the pics or mostly my poor lighting, or both? :desk: In the future, would close-ups help?

and this is all hypothetical...I have no coin to take pictures of, but thanks, anyway :bow:
No, no. Not cleaning as in rubbing, wiping or buffing, :hammer: but I know that oils are not good for the coin. Even from clean fingers. Is this...
My question is....say you just picked up a nice coin at a yard-sale. The guy munching on Micky-D's french fries was just handling the same coin....
Thanks for all those responses. I guess the Red Book is right when it states that 5 people evaluating may give you 5 different grades for the same...
I paid what a MS 60 would go for at FMV, so I know I got a good deal. I will look forward to seeing your new coin(s). Dave
I think I need new lights!
Thanks for all the responses! I think I got a nice bargain on this one:whistle: but either way, I do think it's a nice coin. T$, thanks for...
