Wow! Easily MS-67 - even among Braille TPGs. Recommend that chronic nit-pickers go find a corner and color.
These metallurgical-minting mishaps should rightfully be beyond the GTG pale. What next? Chuck E. Cheese tokens?
Regardless of the ultimate "reveal," I find this opportunity to contrast two noticeably different (to me, at least) but identically graded...
After the shameless 2021 Silver Proof Set price gouging; the absurd succession of omni-ethnic renderings of Lady Liberty's once-classic visage;...
MS-64 BN. If it's higher than that... well, my excuse is the focus.
[Post reveal] When it comes to gold, particularly gold with an incuse design, most numismatic mortals struggle/flail/hallucinate when grading....
On a mintmark?
Amen! The Mint has sunk to a new low - is that really possible? - by confusing and manipulating speculators with numismatists. This year, these...

This is exactly the type of GTG offering that reminds me of a bit of off-the-cuff wisdom imparted by a man of considerable numismatic renown:...
A brilliant question. Surely, there must be some squirrely common denominator/history-inquisitive thread but really, what difference does it make?
This is one of those out-of-left-field, non-mercenary, and numismatic ingenue queries that makes CT contributors shine. Yes, before computing melt...
I' would give it a MS-64+ (and my "+" ain't no lagniappe). I thought the request was to "guess the grade" and not to crawl into the mercenary mind...
Bravo! [Absolutely no need for some CT validating photos - mine doesn't include one either] Your account captures that lifetime "hook"; that first...
Any word on this weekend's coin show in Timonium, MD?
MS-64. Commemoratives never cease to humble me. Clearly, I must "up" my game and reference library. A stunning coin.
I confess, for this series, my picky-prissy grading judgement will always be overruled by an exceptional reverse. There, I've said it! MS-66+
67+. Stunning strike.
