We now have the technology to make precision grading possible. Strike depth can be measured, luster as reflectivity, wear, etc. Program the...
Nickels got me back into the hobby. Most are very affordable and nickel seems to wear better than silver. To me, reverse proofs are gimmicks,...
The coin obviously shows wear. No way an AU grade. Question for me is, is it a 35 or a 40?
Sorry to just jump in here, but very provocative post! So like everything else, grading standards change over time as more data and more...
Received mine yesterday.
I have another Dansco that is simply labeled "Silver dollars". It is similar to the album you are describing, just holes. Of course they're all...
I finally completed my set. Took about two years but it was a lot of fun! Learned a lot and I love looking at them all. I have no idea where...
You may be new to collecting, but you sure are getting some nice key date coins! Is the 1916 Standing liberty quarter next on your list? It fits...
I know this is an older post, I went with 64 but I can certainly see 65. If you hadn't even shown a picture, for a coin like this, even unseen,...
Just an observation, modern collecting seems to focus on a lot of factors outside just the coin. For instance, the "rocket ship Kennedy", outside...
None taken! The coin is flat out ugly to me, common date, no great value. Good details on the coin just a very unattractive toning.
In all fairness, like one of the mods mentioned, it could have been dipped long ago. It was passed from my grandmother to my father, so if it was...
CONGRATS!!! I believe I still have 8 left to fill. I'm assuming you'll be looking at the 1917's, any mint preference?
Great pickups! How many holes do you have left to fill?
Entry post First time seeing this, what a great idea! September is a travelling month for me, but when I get back I have to make a decision: Do...
I really enjoy your posts, knowledge and amazing coins! That 1867 is stunning! I know you were a long time dealer, how long did it take you to...
I understand that, but my question is the cause of them. I certainly wasn't criticizing the coin, it's a GREAT coin, just questioning whether my...
Would you be so kind as to educate me a little? My eye says the obverse looks cleaner than the reverse, would you concur? Was it the reverse...
