Re: CrockofCoins - Question
<DIV>Todd, I use the BigFOOT coil 99% of the time! Depth may be less than a stock 9.5 coil. But as you can see in the plug photos it gets good depth. <DIV>Pinpointing is the best! The coil sends down a signal the length of the coil--> ___ as opposed to the 9.5 coil--> _/ cone shaped signal. The BigFOOT coil can do it all.… -
Re: Which ball would you rather have?
Jery, That is some picture. My guesses: 10) Martha Stewart's new look 9) The reason you never fall asleep in a frat house 8) If that's a normal day, what does he/she/it go as for Halloween? 7) The poster for the end of internet dating 6) "Don't ever double dare me again!" 5) "I'll show that dean who flunked me out of rodeo… -
Re: Refuted 1914/3 Buffalo Nickel by Kevin Flynn
This has been discussed ad nauseam here before so I won't comment any further except for what follows: For anyone who may be interested in seeing the study Dr Wiles of CONECA is conducting I would suggest visiting the CONECA website here: http://varietyvista.com/index.htm and selecting this topic- Detailed Study of the… -
Re: Poll: Which production type do you prefer to collect - Proofs of Business Strikes?
I like both the uncs and proofs as well but comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges usually and sometimes like comparing apples, and, well, apples. Business strikes are fascinating because they can bo so very scarce in original condition can be simply horrid. Coins are struck by rusted dies, tumbled in cement… -
Re: Express submission results: an AG03 and a Genuine 98
Now that I'm at home, I was able to dig out the pictures of the 1870-cc. Most of the people reading this thread have probably seen it already, as I posted it several times before. How could anyone forget a numismatic horror show like this? Funny story about this coin. When I purchased the complete set that contained this… -
Re: Is this a fake?
Lifted from another source: The 1906-S peso is a scarce coin, but to make matters worse, the 1906-S is heavily counterfeited. Both cast counterfeits and altered date examples exist. There are a few diagnostics to help us determine which is a genuine and which is a forgery. In 1905, around OCT or NOV (depending on the… -
Re: Some 1840 half dimes, "P" mints
I took another look at your 1840 half dimes, and reread your comments, and might be able to shed some light on the last coin you pictured, with the die crack through the 8 in the date. It appears to be an example of the V6 Shattered Obverse. If you look closely, however, you will see that the small die crack that is almost… -
Re: Branch Mint Proofs
<< <i>I think intent of the coiner is irrelevant to a coin being a proof or not. A US proof might be defined as a coin struck twice by a basined die though some people would insist the dies, blanks, or all three are polished. I don't believe you can positively discern whether a coin is struck twice or not. Those struck… -
Re: Larry Bowa was just as good defensively as Ozzie Smith
I don't think anyone was arguing that dWAR was inherently accurate so I don't really know what you're trying to engage in here other than blasting people without understanding their words. Saying WAR is bad because the dWAR component is flawed or noisy or inaccurate or whatever... is a pure composition flaw. I understand… -
Profiles in Kennedy 1965 SMS
I have not observed any Kennedy threads lately and decided to post a few comments on a nice Kennedy half dollar. The photo attached (hopefully) is one that I won off Ebay some time ago in 2004 (I dont remember exactly), and is the seller's photgraph. This is the best looking 1965 SMS Kennedy I have seen. If anyone knows of…
