I was wondering if there is a way to spot FAKE or artificial toning? I have seen some slabs with "Suspect Toning" marked on them and this is what...
I think slabs can be usefull for someone like me who has limited experience with determining the difference in the MS grades. As long as I don't...
Use your loupe in front of the camera lens.
SO what guide did you get that from? (here is where I expose my ignorance) I have photograde but that doesn't help in MS conditions.
So the photos are good though? Would it be better if the coin were out of the Dansco? Also, how do you know how much to deduct for something...
I am wanting to get better at MS grades so I hope the experts here can point out what the grade is and what led them to the grade. Secondly, I...
I have to put up a great seller for high quality Mercs. If you read my thread about the 1916 dime you know why I like this seller. His ebay ID is...

I typically use a dremmell. I would rather have my coins in a dansco or in an airtight. I do however have a Roosie collection in pcgs slabs and...
It was disheartening when I took the loop to it, but the seller seems to be a decent guy and has offered to refund or replace so things are OK....
Yes there is a nick just above the 1 in the date. Here is what the seller said: "Hi John, I has several 1916's listed, but I have a Very...
This pic is a little bigger.
I have it raw. It shipped in a 2x2 but I removed it to get a good look and to put it in my Dansco. I have never seen a merc so obviously damaged...
I think so too. In all fairness the seller hasn't had a chance to respond yet since I only emailed him an hour ago, but I will post his response.
I just received a 1916 Mercury dime that I purchased on ebay. This photo is the one straight off the auction and then 2 pics of the coin I...
