Re: Went to a local show today and picked some cherries (Proof and SMS Cameos, aka widgets, but nice wid
Ricko. The 1964 half is not an Accented Hair example. If it was I would be crowing about it. The coin is simply a high grade (no hairlines, haze, toning, milk spots, etc.) Black and white two sided Cameo with thick, even, matched two sided frost and deep watery mirrored fields. It has lots of eye appeal. -

Re: 1921 Morgan Dollar Toning
1921 was the year they started using a different method of preparing the planchets which I believe included washing with hydrochloric acid. That's the major reason why there are so few bag toned 1921 Morgans and so few [if any] killer toned Peace dollars. IIRC there are lots of milk spotted coins in the Peace dollar series. -
Re: Worst white spots on a lady's dress?
<< <i>So let's see a ms70 by ICG should be worth about $20 they may downgrade it to an MS67 and cut you a check for $2 so figure out if your shipping both ways is worth it. Sorry. >> Or they may grab the first ASE from a roll and make a new MS70 to replace the one that's milk spotted. -
Re: I just picked this up today
Looks good so far. Doesn't appear to have any milk spots, which is one of the big problems on these. The other big problem is obverse hairlining, which is impossible to determine from an image. Check carefully for them after you remove it from the celo. If it's hairline free, it's an excellent score for $10. Russ, NCNE -

Thoughts on these error Quarters?
I just finished going through my Patsy Mink quarters last night for sending into bulk grading and wanted to see what you guys thought about these errors and possible errors I found.

Re: JM Bullion Cyber Monday Sale / 2023 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coin (BU) ON SALE!
The only reservations I have about these coins, is their issues with milk spotting. I decided to take a chance, and picked up a few anyway because of the price. They were $25.69 when I purchased them with a check on 11/28. They are still available, but are now currently selling for $27.48.… -
Re: Any experience with Harbor Coin?
<< <i>A seller who is confident of the quality of the merchandise he/she sells will not be afraid to have a return policy that accepts returns, because with good merchandise there won't be many returns.
