I like the "counterstamped" version better :D The guy might have sold his sign if the auction hadn't been so flashy. Why do people insist that...
The cheek, jaw, and ear appear to have extremely slight rub. The reverse looks uncirculated. I'm leaning to AU58. Very nice coin! :)
Especially for gold coins, bidders tend to put in higher proxies. This will make the bids go up in much higher increments if a second bidder also...
I really like the American Silver Eagles. If you have seen the proofs, they're breathtaking and can be purchased directly from the US Mint (unlike...
Here is a link to PGS website. I don't know if this is the same company or not. There are so many fly-by-night grading services now that it's...
I had a couple of bars with the Morgan obverse/reverse on the front. I can't remember who manufactured them. I had a couple of others at one time....
You are so right, Roy. I've been using that for a long time now. I don't know why I never thought to post it here in the forum. Thanks for posting...

Very nice pictures, Snail! :) Here are my estimates of grades: 1917 Type I appears AU but may be UNC. It's hard to tell with some coins...
I think it's great that you want to try! Go for it! You're right. It would take a lot of time and effort - but look at the rewards, not to mention...
Do you have a way to post a pic tonight? It definitely sounds like it was altered post-mint. But I am curious to see it. When you bought it,...
Welcome to the forum Montminr :) Do you have a picture? The only dual date Kennedy half dollar that I know of was the bicentennial...
I would think that, due to their scarcity, a collection could be considered complete without the Stella. Since the suspected total mintage (both...
Keep in mind that, although the search function here is great, you may find that you want additional input after reading the past threads. Since...
Beautiful set with a nice presentation. I would consider buying it if I had the money. I think it's interesting though that with that beautiful...
I've actually used VF30. I look at it like this: If a coin has details that are better than, say, VF20, but shows too much wear on too many points...
Thanks, guys. I'm so glad I could help and the compliments are so very sweet. :) Thank you so much :)
The only time that it would make a difference (aside from selling) is if you want grade opinions. Just make sure to let us know it was scanned....
Excel. This program is great for everything :)
AU55. Very nice detail but very slight wear in spots. Nice coin :)
