Re: Rainbow toning in Dansco 7070...has this ever happened to you?
<< <i>Rainbow toning in Dansco 7070...has this ever happened to you? >> I wish! All I ever got was milk spots and haze on my proofs, which is why I wouldn't stick proofs in a Dansco anymore. (At least, not in this environment here, where it is humid, there is lots of salt air from the ocean, and plenty of sulfuric fumes… -
Re: FSH only: 25 ASE's in Dansco. All have toning of some sort. See pics
I've handpicked these for their condition. NO 65's or 66's and a scant few 67's. NO milk spots. Spent years searching for some. Toning is natural, not spectacular but real. It's been fun to collect them but need funds for something a lot more important. Pics of any coin are happily provided if you desire. Price is based on… -
Re: ~*~*~ LordM's OPERATION PAPERCLIP 2012 (all done, winner of final drawing announced) ~*~*~
I got Trade #3 (the Franklin half). I've added some pictures of that now. (They stink- it's actually a decent looking coin, despite a tiny milk spot or two, which are exaggerated by my scanner.) I have two pending offers and will likely accept one of them, but I'm gonna think about it for a day or so. So it's movin' on up,… -
Re: A couple of examples of the direction in which the market for early date Kennedys has gone.
<< <i>Not sure what it's worth but now I need a proof set with an AH kennedy to complete my collection too. >> You should be able to pick up an Accented Hair set for $20 to $25 assuming, of course, that it doesn't have a cameo example in it. Here's one with an opening bid of $7.99. Verify the image, though, and ask for a… -
Re: Anyone built (or building) a Dansco Album of Silver Eagles?
<< <i>well, c'mon ......somone post a picture of one of their pages! I think I'm gonna do this. >> Here are some of the toned ones that I just received... I just noticed the milk spots on some of them... The 1997 & 1999 look like CSI was dusting for prints!: I like the ASEs but I like the Brittanias better because the… -
Re: Guess the grade!
<< <i>Obverse appears to be one of the "artifically" frosted DCAM proofs that are now going bad. >> Actually, it's not an artificially frosted coin. Underneath all that crap is a bona fide deep cameo. For the life of me, though, I can't figure out what caused this. I've seen plenty of turned coins - usually milk spotting -… -
Mantle-Ford Signed Bat Questions
I am a coin collector venturing over to the Sports board to gain some more information. I obtained this bat directly from Mick and Whitey in the early 80's at the Westchester Golf Classic. I do not want to risk potential mailing issues to get certification of authenticity and want to ask if are there shows where I could… -
Re: What exactly IS the PCGS Variety Attribution guarantee??

TPGs grades are great... unless they Changed in the holder Damaged during grading PVC Milk spots Paste on gold Different Color Got the holder wrong Grading standards change Holders are basically fancy & strong 2x2s from one source opposed to any old dealer. As always and… -
Re: 3 course meal
i'll start w/ a nice, lightly toned capped bust half cent... just something small to take the edge off... followed by a thick, medium-rare (ok... XF raw) Morgan dollar and a red-wine colored Lincoln matte proof to drink... topping it off w/ dessert... a blast white and frosty Barber quarter in MS66 and tall glass of… -
Re: First Strikes... Will this matter in the future?
Of course it will but only to the First Strike slab collectors! Especially for those graded 69 that have not milk spotted and its only a question of time before PCGS includes all the other First Strike coins in the registry set instead of just the 2005 and 2006. Collecting First Strike labels has nothing to do with coin…
