Agree that sometimes a coin can show nice luster in hand, and if not professionally photographed, it can be hard to see the luster in a photo. So...
I don't mean dipped. It's just that there are so many old coins, and you know all of them were not protected properly for 150 years, and yet they...
The are both real. The 1961 seems plated and damaged. The 1988 seems as if the copper plating has been removed.
Verdicare? If it is verdigris I don't think acetone will remove it. But maybe it's something else and it will. Post, post acetone photos please....
Not worth grading, and I don't see it as MS. This coin has circulated, and not just a little.
I got some dateless buffs just to try degrees of peroxide and white vinegar to raise the date. It worked but the coins were too white. And one of...
The reverse of this note is a work of art. This one is a bit circulated/creased for the price. It does say on the bottom reverse that is...
Have to agree with CN above. You must educate yourself as much as possible. Read every reference book you can. Look at every photo carefully,...
I'm closer to G-06. 10 seems high. It may not be gradable, can't tell from the photos. (If it was cleaned improperly, or has environmental...
While I am not a fan of BC, I guess I made money off of it as I recently bought and sold Coin Base at a nice profit. It has been dropping I am...
That coin seems harshly cleaned. I think it's safe to take it out of the 2x2 when you have the time to examine the date closer. The reason I say...
Is that the grade? Straight AU-50? I have to agree with the details consensus. All of those small scratches seem suspicious. And the color seemed...
I recently had some checks for my brokerage acct shipped to me via Fed Ex. He put them in my mailbox. (Not allowed.) Didn't ring the bell. Didn't...
Meh. Broke even on the gas. I have 2 more sched for this year and then I am taking Jan and Feb off. [ATTACH]
Here's my P-01. The date is legible 1989-P. (It's not graded.) I believe the wear is due to damage. [ATTACH]
Was there any fancy serial you were going for in that pack? A few packs later would have hit 00006666. I can't see the cut in the OP or the damage...
Silver seems low to me at $22.
Yes I agree. The unnatural and light pink color on the Indian head suggest cleaning. I don't think it will ever regrade as undamaged. Some kind of...
P-01 set to me stands for pointless. When they grade it, can they really tell that it wasn't a dryer coin, or some other unnatural wear which...
The Taiwan coin is 10 Yuan, copper nickel 7.5 grams, conversion to US is $1.57. But NGC has it listed as .30 in VF and .50 in XF.
