I've seen video footage of grading at PCGS, I believe, and they're handling (grading) coins with their bare hands. "Secrets of the US Mint" was...
This really stinks. You must be livid. What grade did they award this coin? What did they award all of them. GOT pics? I would love to know...
IMHO you have a very nice specimen. Looks like a small line between WE TRUST. At least a MS64 maybe higher. RickieB has sound advice about...
Its funny you mention this because the more I watch the market and the introduction of new mint products, I feel the new collectors "WILL"...
Congrats on your acquisition of this new species of proof coin. I have one myself, I love it! You have to ask yourself this. If you sent these...
If it came out a new roll, the chances are high that it came from the mint this way. Nice find! Hope it turns out good for you.
Learning about this hobby is quite a trip. Knowledge and wisdom are key to your success in this field. Have fun enjoy the experience and history...
That's very interesting. Its cool that you have one. 1000+ seems quite rare. Someone apparently took a big nap when engraving that die....
The Red Book has a price guide but it is not very a good tool to reference. The market is changing to quickly to reflect a true advisory in an...
Pretty cool! I got to looking at this closely and when you say it is a 1836 over 1336 does that mean it was an actual die engraving error or just...
Another beautiful coin Bone!! Thats for invoking the attribute lesson for these coins. I've seen your collection from a link in another post and...
If you use a dip it will remove patina and looked dipped. Also you don't ever want to leave the dip chemical on your coin but for a few and I mean...
Thanks Tallpaul000 for your explanation of this coin. I don't like slabbed coins nor the grading service game. Mostly because there is no...
Hey Hamman88. I commend you on your attempt to restore these proofs. I am addicted to proofs. I want them all 1936-1964. I have clad proofs, but...
Nice find! Where are the pictures????????????????:confused:
Only of this error turns out to be very uncommon. Unfortunately there seems to be quite a few of these turning up. Did you get a P or a D?
How to tell if you have a silver Ike, proof or uncirculated? Look at the reeded edge. If it is all silver and no sign of copper, it is a 40%...
After 1964 the only business strike coins that contained any silver where the Kennedy halfs at 40% silver, 1965 thru 1970. Actually the 1970 halfs...
My understanding is that the edging is a separate process. It is very possible that these coins never made it to that process and where shipped....
Lets not forget that this is a modern coin not worth the metal it is made of. In my opinion it is more of a novelty then a valuable collectable....
