I believe you're correct; there is a spec of something green on Franklin's jaw, below his ear. Definitely looks like PVC damage I've seen in the...
Howdy folks! Been a while since I've added anything to my collection, but spotted this beautiful Franklin the other day and couldn't resist...
Very cool adventure! I'd seen your post on Reddit with the pictures, but didn't read all the details until now -- quite an excellent write up....
Took a quick look at my 2023 Red Book (spiral, 76th edition), starting at the same section as you and I see it listed under the "(2019) Youth Coin...
Beautiful color; wow! I think it looks MS65. There appear to be some contact marks, but I'm pretty sure that's the toning and not significant...
"Shipping .. would take 10 to 15 calendar days." As opposed to...?
I think the '81 sold for more; maybe 20-25% more than the '80?

Here's another (similar) helpful image from PCGS -- [IMG]
Hollywood has had their hand in US commemoratives in the past. I'm referring to the 1923 Monroe (no relation ;)) silver half dollar. [IMG]...
I think this is a 1878, 7 feathers, 2nd reverse; MS63. Looks like NGC holder, possible they gave it a "W" since it looks pretty clean and white.
The 1836 half eagle is amazing - congrats all around! Also, I didn't realize this was even an option; I thought waiting by the door for the...
PCGS thought it looked like MS64+. I'll need to see if I can record and share a decent video to highlight how lustrous this one is. And when/if...
Howdy folks! Re-sharing a coin I picked up this month; I'd previously shared the picture but wanted to spin up a dedicated thread of good ol'...
