I love looking at coins up close, but 90% of the real-estate was the plastic. No worries. By the way, Mike and Jom, those Mercs are sexy!

Those images are ridiculous sizes! Sorry, I never heard of this before. In the past all my images were so tiny no one could appreciate what they were viewing. I'm sorry if my images are too large. I just won't post anything but the smaller versions from now on. I do most of my viewing on the Forums via my iPad and all the images seem ok. Thanks for the Kudos on the new Merc's.

I usually take the coin into a photo editor and SET the width to 1200 and save that file as a small version. I also take the slab stuff out as well...it just wastes space. Bascially, I'll draw a "square" around the coin and do a CUT then I do the same with the other side and put the two sides into one file, set the width and upload. No wasted space! jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like closeup images. However, you can cut out the whole slab - I couldn't care less about the plastic. I just want to see the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutmeg Coin Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Here is the certification number for a piece that I had success with through NCS recently: 3624279-001. With the image tool it is easy to bring up the image now. I bought the 1917 25c coin from Robert Charles as MS63FH for just over $300. It took a little over a month for NCS to conserve it. It graded MS64+FH. PCGS had no graded it as questionable toning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkurJ Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Will be going to CAC. I took a chance on it, but it looks accurately graded and I did not see anything that would prevent it from passing. There is a light diagonal scratch on the obverse profile but I beleive minor marks like that are allowed for the age and grade of the coin. Oh and I have plenty of NGC coins. Most of them are CAC'd though. PF67CAC Edited June 10, 2012 by AnkurJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Nice coins Jom! I like them all except the quarter. I'm wondering what you don't like about the quarter. I value your opinion. Jom, its kind of neat how they all have the same look. Did they all come from the same place? Not exactly...although much of these types of coins moves through the same "dealer space" so to speak. jom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I value your opinion. jom It has a look of being overdipped. The dip was not properly rinsed which caused this secondary toning. The main reason I dont like it is because it looks stripped.

AnkurJ Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Physicsfan: yes they did. But the quarter seemed to be more excessively dipped than the others. The others are decent and market acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the coins Jom just posted experienced the same treatment (with the possible exception of the half dime). Ouch! Interesting takes. From the Bust coinage I've seen over the past years most if not all of the nicely toned halves are pretty much all similar...at least the ones that are circulated. Many have hairlining to an extent as well. As to the Barber half if it was dipped then it was a rather weak dip as it still has a ton of luster left...especially for an AU50. The quarter may or may not be "acceptable" by PCGS or NGC as it's in an old ANACS holder. They graded it XF40 but I think it's more like VF35.
