  1. Didn’t the Indian cent have cameo and mirror finishes? There were also Seated proofs in all denominations with mirrors and cameos.
  2. I’ll be happy. To take the toners off your hand. Your 1930 is gorgeous. A blast white one for you (one of my few).
  3. I’m not so sure about the old guard causing the Sleepy Hollow nickname. I started posting here in 2006. Most, if not all, the old guard was posting. I don’t remember any of them driving anyone off then or now. It was also referred to as Sleepy Hollow then, mainly by the PCGS crowd because compared to the traffic they had it was more of a vacation here. This site has always been welcoming and friendly, especially when compared to starting new on the PCGS boards.
  4. A couple that I traded away a few years ago, but just reacquired recently. Happy to have them back home.
  5. Just added a Capped Bust dime for the type set. Not high grade, but eye appeal more than makes up for it. XF45
  6. I’m with you in regards to running a race against time. While I should be paring down I continue to add. I’m convinced it’s a disease.
  7. Kurt is correct, there is no cartwheel appearance whatsoever. These are totally satin. Looking close up, the fields have the look of a modified snakeskin as seen in the modern cameos. The design is similar the the original, but somehow it lays on the coin differently. It's hard to explain, the lettering, stars and devices just have a different look, almost like the coin is made from a cast.
  8. @Woods020 Absolutely love the 1840 Half Dime!!
  9. The free TrueView for Regular service level submissions is a relatively new policy………maybe a year or so. So it’s quite likely your already slabbed PCGS coins won’t have TrueViews. It’s also possible that some of those slabs may have been submitted using the Economy service level, in which case won’t have TrueViews unless they were paid for. You can also check your slabs to see if there is a gold shield on the insert. These will/should have TrueViews attributed to them. Any coin with a TrueView will keep that TrueView if the coin is sent in for a regrade submission or a Reholder as long as it is still in the holder. If the coin is cracked out and sent in raw the old TrueView will not follow automatically. It might be possible to link the old TrueView with the cracked out coin with a phone call or email to customer service explaining the coin was a crack out and furnishing the old Cert number.. Their database uses the Cert number in checking for TrueViews. I don’t think they are setup for photo recognition.
  10. On Regular submissions TrueViews are free.
  11. Apparently this is currently owned by Fred Weinberg. https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1063147/cricket-pcgs-65fh-detached/p1
