And I hate pics from a scanner, they're always difficult to tell. Usually avoid them all together.
There are several sellers on ebay, whose listings I see on a regular basis that doctor their photos with the blue or green color distortions. I'm...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Just got this coin in today. 1932 $10 gold indian. My favorite of all the coins ever minted. This is now the crown jewel...
I tend to like the look of larger diameter coins ( halves and up) in the newer, 4 pronged NGC holders, especially silver dollars. My smaller coins...
I hate when ebay sellers doctor their photos with alternate blue and yellow filters to try and hide blemishes on the coins. I pass right on to the...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Just got this one in today. A gold 1935 Swiss Helvetia 20 Francs. I fell in love with this coin when I first seen it, and its...

I bought this silver coin from a friend, who sold me his collection of junk silver dimes and quarters. He had this and didn't know what it was as...
Nice! I also collect rare silver rounds. I've seen the prospectors before yes, but I've never seen those Hecla's or the Crabtree Mint rounds. I...
I posted this 1961 cent in another thread, but it fits this thread as well. The obverse will put a smile on your face, the reverse will make you...
Those are nice, but the scanner really kills the beauty of the proofs.
Not a total train wreck but I wasn't proud enough of it to post it in any other thread. Thought we had found a keeper but the reverse pretty much...
That is very cool. I've never seen a gun hallmark put on a coin. I agree, you would think that it would've been done by someone who worked for DOD...
