The 60's toned proof Jefferson's are striking. Heck, even V Kurt Bellman likes them, and he is a toning hating Wiemar White fan. I have owned...
In fairness, there really isn't that big of a spread in the scoring. wxcoin: 5.5 ddddd: 4.0 Morgandude11: 5.0 Lehigh96: 4.5 All of these...
You guys have convinced me, I’m keeping #2. The first coin is overgraded and coin #2 simply fits better in my registry set which is based on...
Can we get some photos of that Buffalo you bought?
Oh, so now it is “lightly toned” as opposed to “barely toned” huh? And yes, the entire reverse is toned. The reverse isn’t rainbow toned, but it...
That coin is amazing! MS67
Golden toning, Gold foil holder, deserves a gold sticker!
I agree Sy, the toning is quite attractive for a 51-S but nowhere near star worthy. And this coin is totally maxed out at MS67. It just seems...
Please guess the grade of the 1949 Franklin Half Dollar shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 4...
No, the photos display a fully toned obverse in pastel shades of yellow, pink, and green. You can call the language flowery in an attempt to...
I feel like the TPG is causing my angst for coin 1 and my own head is causing me angst for coin 2. Not one person in this thread has made any...
Sure thing, I'm gonna contact the guy I sold it to 5 years ago and ask him if I can have it back so you can see better photos. It isn't my...
Yeah, they both give me that feeling, so wouldn't it be prudent to stick with the coin that everyone is likes? I think it is universal that Coin...
This is from that group, are you suggesting that I send this to PCGS "as is"?
I think if you photographed it, you would change your mind. The coin has fantastic target toning on the obverse with bright yellow at the...
This coin is tough to grade. The surfaces look very clean and are definitely premium gem, and I would say MS67 level. The problem is that PCGS...
The problem is that they both have a quality that bothers me. Coin #1 is overgraded, even though I understand why it is graded the way that it...
A few very minor ticks in the obverse focal area but otherwise very clean. Weak strike typical of 50’s S mint coins. I don’t see any prongs so...
The toning on the reverse is what bothers me. First, toning of this magnitude on nickels is extremely rare and the later the dates get, the more...
I think your view of fingerprints on coins is probably shared by most of the other members responding to this thread and is likely the reason for...
