The coin sorting circular marks should automatically remove it from mint state since these are after the fact. Not the same as bag marks. Just my...
My theory, dependent on the actual location, is one of two based on John Hunt Morgan's famous raid and the date ranges. First, buried by the...
[ATTACH] The latest to this series, only eight remaining (standard proofs from 2017 to date) to current. PCGS/NGC 70's.
I have this set and a few others that the ANA put out. My 1976 is also signed, but the envelope corners are no where near as sharp as John's. My...
Sweet! Much better than my VG8, raw, in the complete series.
[ATTACH] Okay, I know it's not a U.S. issued coin. But.....a series designed by former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver, John M. Mercanti. Up to date in...
A solid fsb. Sweet pickup!
I like it. Those reverse tone lines remind me of what may have happened if stored in an older coin board.
While I would agree with your thoughts on cleaning signs, very tough based on an image. I've seen quite a few ms coins, in hand, which show...
So many criticize details graded coins. This is a prime example to the contrary. You did very well!
The price range you quoted is accurate. That said, if you like it take it home. My opinion, the best designed coin ever produced by the United...
At auction, these appear to go between $1600-2000. I found one which sold on 11/9/23 for $1800 EUR (1961.10 USD), so this should give you an idea....
That's an interesting question. Assuming that your grade holds true, the upper grades of 66 and 67 are low in the 1980's and earlier. Many are...
I think it's a conservative grade even being cleaned. Yes, the "soapy water" rainbow toning is a dead giveaway. Still, I'd feel comfortable closer...
I'd settle for an eagle to return to the reverse of our coinage. Started in 1792, ended in 1998. Unless you count the Half, which is being struck...
Like your self, and one who collects the Barber coinage, I also have handled seen and owned many. I'm in the same camp as a few others, in that...
Not a fan of this one. From a design standpoint, way too busy. The subject should be potrayed without all the words explaining who she was. As to...
I'm thinking the same as Mainebill. An old cleaning that's retoned. Remember, cleaning was once a thing to do.
Nice! I have a sizable library of books, many first editions and hardcover as I'm a purist. Physical books still rule in a digital age.
First, ANACS is a top grader right up there with PCGS and NGC. The issue stems from the initial years after being dropped by the American...
Separate names with a comma.
