Yeah, the few watermarks or other stains are the biggest negatives on this piece. It's got even nicer luster in hand (I'm still getting the hang...
I do see that the micro o is scarce in high grades. However, this seems smaller than the standard mint mark, on par with the half dollar mintmark...

I recently picked up an 1899-O Morgan in MS & was looking to attribute it by VAM. What grade would you assign to this? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'm...

I was inspired to get some Eisleben Notgeld - the first to arrive were several 1917 10 pfennig: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is the British War Medal from WW1. The reverse shows a very Pistrucci-esque naked Saint George on horseback, carrying a...
There's a 1900 20 Peseta trial piece from Catalon that also has the St. George design, and which is quite beautiful. Heritage has one on auction...
I'd like my chances with a Scorpion (or a modern anti-tank rocket launcher) a little better... [ATTACH] That said, it's my understanding that...
Wowza. All lovely, but that one in particular is amazing. I wonder - why did the Royal Mint modify the spear design & switch to a sword in Saint...
German Meissen Token, dated 1919. I'm not sure what it was issued for - does the monogram or date mean anything to y'all? 1803-1919, 41mm...

Someone calls you out on the unhelpfulness of your comment & you tell them to leave the site? Cool. See you next Tuesday.
Please stop with this unhelpful "GFO" of a comment. I am trying to figure out what would cause a coin to have one of the diagnostics but no others.
No, what? I'm trying to figure out why this coin has the particular attribute (& none of the 6 or so others) of a high relief. Yes, I've...
I'm trying to figure out the coin I'm holding in my hands. Thanks for not reading my post but replying anyway. I also appreciate that [insert...
Bumping this again. While my coin lacks the other diagnostics, is there a die pairing that has this particular feature on a low relief 1922? Could...
After reviewing a few of these in slabs, it still looks like it could grade between f15 & vf30 depending on the expert's mood. What price do...
I'm not sure of the grade on this. Is VF20 an over estimation or too conservative? And is the Redbook value for these anywhere close to accurate?...
Going through some low grade IHC I had purchased in a lot, I found this oddity. It's not listed in the Cherrypickers Guide, but I don't have the...
