Re: Copper spot removal on gold coins
Original surfaces are always better!! Just ask Warren Mills or John Albanese. I happen to like the "coppery blotch" on that Lib reverse. The 1927-S MS67 Saint has a large copper spot in the right obverse rays, and here it is, beautiful! -
Re: Any Friday Metal Porn??
I doubt if you'll hurt the value of that bar if you remove that spot with tarnex or some other dip but there may be a milky/cloudy area where the tarnish ate into the mirrored surface. Don't forget that this is a silver bar that's essentially worth bullion value. -
Re: New CBH...thoughts?
I see a lot of the high spots look smooth. I don't know if this is typical or if it was caused by dies or some mild circulation? The luster shows up nicely in your photo which I like. The blue hues I could live without. -
Re: My (un)Expert Thoughts on MLB Bats - Part 1
Don't forget BWP bats. They are made a few miles from my home. They will give you a factory tour anytime you show up. You can also buy bats right there, and they will engrave them on the spot in about five or ten minutes. -
Re: Roger Maris single-signed ball
Nice pick up; that's the location of the ball that Maris preferred to sign (including team signed balls)....He most likely left the sweet spot open for The Mick. George Brett always preferred to sign in that location as well on team signed items. IMF -

Re: I Just Paid A Record Price For A 55(d) Quarter!
It's been my experience that the Denver mint coins from 1952-1956 are ALL very hard to find in lustrous white or attractively toned MS66. The 1952-1954 coins usually have very flat luster. The '55-D is frequently covered with milky white spots; a very tough date to find white or pleasingly toned. Now, the '56-D: I bought… -
Re: The mint has butchered the Kennedy half and the Washington quarter
I concure! I really enjoy coins pre 1964. You can spot them a mile away in the cashiers drawer at a fast food joint. They did these new designs to make them last longer against wear and tear right? -
Re: My new colorful 1912 Matte Proof Lincoln! (THREAD UPDATED w. NEW 1911)
<< <i>Super Coin! But, I really like that 1910...do we have larger image of that one you could post? I'd like to wet myself on occasions.... >> Lablover, you are making me laugh. The best shot of that 1910 was taken by CU member Robec when I took a chance and had him crack that coin out of a PCGS PR65BN slab and shoot it…
