Mr.blister

Thank you so much for detailed information.

Is there a way to print a list of my competitive coins? Thank you!

One on the greatest years in automotive design. Good luck!

This one lacks the CAMEO designation, which for some reason is particularly seldom seen on 1953 cents, when compared with nearby dates. The “straight 69” is also uncommon, but a CAMEO even several points lower would be seen by many as the more desirable coin. 

Yes

First, my apologies.

And thank you for showing your coins there awesome! That nickel and those quarters are stunning! 

Either snow topped Tahoe winter white Frosty Freeze snow blizzard blinding Cameos or liquid-like mind bending mirrored proofs, I'm all in! 

My obsession with shiny things is in my genes and the appreciating of art. As Lao Tzu claimed to a have said "In work do what you enjoy".

Yes I already knew the point, the sad part is that you do not.

Then why are you so sad or miserable? You wrote it?!

I would call that inferior, however by your own admission beauty or inferiority is in the eye of the beholder.  As such your assertion/opinion is no more correct or right than mine, thus you may beg all you want but my opinion is correct to me as yours is to you. 

But of course Grasshopper. You finally got the point that it really doesn't matter as long as you're content with what you do.

If anyone thinks this coin or so called low-balled or inferior, I beg to differ

Each coin has their unique qualities and a judgement or an opinion about it is subjective based on what you believe to be right. It's not about right or wrong for nothing cannot exist without the other that is fact. I never used the word argue, you did.

All is relative in the eye of the beholder! Certainly, if I were offered a Utra Cameo versus a mirror proof at the same price that goes without saying from a monetary standpoint.

The procrustean way is subjective, words as good, derisible, better and superior are relative to the eye of the beholder as well.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that all proof coins were struck at the USA MINT and struck at different stages. Using worn dies actually accentuated proof coins. In fact, worn dies did not distract or create inferior coins it produced brilliantly mirrored finished coins!

Of course, proof mirror unfrosted coins were struck with worn dies! However, indicative of being inferior I disagree as would many other collectors that collect mirrored proof coins. Mirror proofs, Cameo and ultra cameos are categorically different stages in the life of a die not the diehard.

Bologna= Oscar Meyers! Or petulance?

No comprende = don't understand.

Yes, star graded coins = exceptional eye appeal or one side with cameo or ultra cameo contrast/devices. 

I'm referring to mirror proofs with a star designation. One side is a mirror proof which I visually like and the other side  frosty  devices thus two distinct finishes! 

Very simple! 

Proof star designated coins provides the collector with the best of both worlds e.g. cameo finish or a mirror finish or Ultra cameo combination's . The uniqueness of having two varied proof finishes on one coin is rare and indicative of lower populations.

The registry is an awesome, organizational tool! Not only for me but my heirs. 

Thank you, for your help. How do keep cases clean and to remove fine scratches?

Interesting question, anticipating an answer.

That star-designated coins be valued with their distinct valuation. 

Nice collection! I too love Roosevelt dimes! Sorry nothing for sale though I enjoyed checking out your collection!

Yes

The highest grade for a particular coin.
