what if I like cheesy tattoos?
That was my thought as well. The ONLY thing that should preclude a gold bean is if John Albanese doesn't think the coin should straight grade at all.
are those bicentennial Proof sets?
You might also ask TOUGHCOINS, he knows these pretty well.
while I am no expert on these jeff, I think this coin looks completely legit. mint mark and all.
I think jeff's got a good bead on these.
The S on the 1932 looks wrong. I wouldn't buy this coin on a dare.
I'm stunned by that grade. And I'll come right out and say it, NGC blew it on this coin. They're just plain wrong.
MS-63 is my grade. With the hints, I'll say AU-53 and just agree to disagree.
It's actually not that hard. If you want to collect raw coins, you can get every date and Mint mark from Mint Sets except for the 1971 and 1972...
I always thought that was the whole idea. Not only what you said you wanted to do, Bman, but what you should do. Assemble a set. It's the best way...
Ike's are a great set to assemble because they teach you so much about grading. Attractive, brilliant coins can still be found if you search, but...
I see 1942, definitely NOT a 1943
No proof Walking Liberty Halves for 1934, so no... not a proof.
thanks, sky... try as I may... I'm just not very good at the whole error/variety thing
Yes, that is the set that he referenced. Both sets are 40% silver
USMC while I am really compelled by what you're suggesting, the photo that you have posted shows otherwise. If you look at your Wyoming quarter...
Because the Philadelphia Mint was the main Mint facility at the time. Wasn't it the de facto Mint headquarters?
Do you see the mintmark doubling to the southeast?
is the 47-D a Repunched MM?
