I like the OP (and Paddy's coin). So cool. Isn't it easier for the mint to be off center on smaller coins? These manhole cover coins are gigantic....
I also felt the grade was fair. A spectacular coin, but is it superior for the grade? IDK.
Good thing I checked my rig before I left because I had a broken wire. Good hunt. Having a problem with photos and paint in Windows 11. Why is...
I think you have to mention and pay extra for the struck through designation. Of course they should just do it for the regular grading fee, which...
It's a smaller coin than that photo, and yes it looks like a fingerprint, which they claim doesn't affect the grade, but it's not desirable to a...
The 1921 were all HIGH relief, which wore the dies very quickly. Then they went to low relief. They claim there are (7?) HR 1922s but that might...
I need the River of No Return W nice. Yes I come across those plated coins from time to time. I don't want to create a new thread in order to...
I mean 100 or 200 years from now when they don't care about it because of the apocalypse. But they have confiscated other coins, 10 1933 gold...
Thanks for the information, I heard something about this, but not to this degree of clarification. I doubt that these coins could be sold. Besides...
I see the smirky face, I am going to assume you are kidding, as they are all ED (environmental damage, rust.) For coins to be on the wrong...
I think they asked the people who received them as gifts, to return them. There were a couple unaccounted for. But they confiscated one. I am not...
I don't see it as MS. There is something going on at 7 o'clock by the rim and that whitish area that goes up the left side in between the...
70 is the highest grade. While it may be undergraded at 35, and the note seems pretty crisp, there must be a reason why they graded it 35. I...
I think the 1974 aluminum is illegal to own and subject to confiscation. Yes they were handed out (to some members of congress?) and there is one...
It was the whiteness of the images and the area around the stars (look at the bottom 4 stars on the left) that led me to believe it had been...
P.S. also some wear on the bust and forehead. As for grading, there are 3 varieties of this coin, and since we don't see the edge we don't know...
I always think these coins have been cleaned. Not by you and not recently. IDK if they take that into consideration when grading since 90% of...
Probably just a raised crease. Or the money had been set aside (in a book?) and it could have been pressed up against a pin or paper clip and over...
Found a few more since the last post. And more since this photo was taken. [ATTACH]
There are honest opinions and the "heartless" or "spiteful" you think you see is in your own inflection, (from reading the post) and imagination....
