That one is perfect. I can see the mint marks and everything fine. It does what I want to do with it. It's in focus very good too. I can see the scratches up close. I can hold the coin further away and see the whole coin and it will still all be in focus. Very surprised. I'll get a less magnified one later but for what I wanted it for it works perfectly. I'm not worried about grading coins. It's easier to see die cracks, rpms, things like that is what I wanted it for.

Oh yeah!!! Very nice my friend. I love it. Nice silver quarter. That's right up my alley. Thanks for sharing it. I enjoy looking at those.

I will get one in a few days. Thanks for the recommendation.

I bought this cool little loupe for around $8.00 or so and I absolutely love it. Comes in this neat little case and has a tool to change the battery with. It is very bright also. Will bout blind you looking at a shiny coin with it. Was using a USB microscope. Bought it when I first started collecting from watching YOUTUBE videos and thought I needed one. I can see things better with this loupe then I can with the USB microscope. Such as die cracks. They look like scratches on the microscope and show up plain as day with the loupe. Don't know if it's where you can just look at one angle with the microscope or what. I can also examine a coin faster. I'm sure there are several very nice loupes out there but I'm very happy with this one. Surprised me how great it is to be so cheap. I've not ventured into the loupe world yet to explore more expensive ones. I'm sure I will be amazed when I do cause this little gator here amazed me.

Here's a couple of my favorites rim toners out of my collection. I've got no real good rim toners yet but I'm on the hunt still. I'll track down a couple before my collection is complete. Seems like just the obverse or reverse will either have it and not both. If you can even call them rim toners.

That one is a beauty to. What was the grade on it? There's nothing like that rim toned silver. I love admiring it.

That's a very beautiful quarter. Love that light rim toning. Those are the ones I been trying to get for my registry collection if I can find them. I love the looks of light bullseye toning. That's a perfect example. Thanks for sharing that. Compared to some that I have looked at that one looks a little under graded. I bought ms66s that don't look that good.

Thanks for the info Coinbuf. Old dude could probably have had a good thing going if he would have ran it right. His company may have been huge by now.

I've never heard of it before either. I've also found an interest to learn more about it.

That Morgan is a beautiful coin. You done good my friend. I love those Morgans.

Good looking coins. That was nice of the old dude.

Me neither.

Here's the answer to the guess the grade.

I'll give it till about 5 or 6 o'clock this evening and post the answer. Just incase there is a couple more that wanna take a guess.

Very beautiful coin my friend. I'm jealous. It's a true beauty. Sure hope to come by one like that one of these days.

Good luck to you my friend. Hopefully you can score some nice ones and get some good deals.

I'm guessing MD also.

I enjoy early Washington quarters myself. Back in the silver days. I really like it when they have rim toning. I think it's also called bullseye toning. I call it that anyways. Those are usually hot cause everyone always seems to bid higher on them and they usually sell for a higher premium. Silver can tone some beautiful colors.

Something just got on it that tarnished it. Nickle layer is still there.

12th grade. Gonna go by the kids in the pic. They look like they are probably seniors in high school so I'm gonna say 12th grade.

I forgot. These ancient coins grade different. Don't know alot about them yet. Gonna sat 5/5.

It's alot of fun to do these guess the grade post. Gives everyone a chance to test their grading skills. I think it's educational and very helpful. I have alot of fun guessing at other people's. Let's try this buffalo nickle out. I think it's beautiful for the grade it is. It earned a CAC sticker. May send it into Mac now. See if I can't get a half dozen Macs stuck all over it. Sell it about $20,000. Just kidding my friends. Inside joke for those who read that thread the other day about the Mac stickers. Anyways I'll shut up and here she is. Have fun my good friends. If anyone guesses right ill still leave it up a while so everyone will get a chance to guess.

I just now read thru the comments after I made my guess and say I was already to late to guess. Didn't want to read comments first and base my guess off other people's.

I love these. I may post one later. I'm gonna say ms64.

Probably not all of them but some were probably stolen by a kid or grandkid hooked on drugs. Sad to say that but they caught an old boy at the coinstar a couple years ago here where we live. He asked for service cause he couldn't get it to take alot of his coins. The clerk who helped noticed all the very old money he was trying to put thru it and called the cops. Come to find out he stole his grandfather's coin collection and was trying to get what he could out of the coin star machine for a quick fix. I guess it was a pretty massive collection. Good thing they old guy got it back. Good thing the boy was stupid enough to try that instead of selling it to someone or they would have probably never caught him.
