Hopefully people paid using a recoverable method. After the last time I got burned I just posted a warning to hopefully help others avoid that...
Salt water recovery silver coins will sometimes have that type of look with that black corrosion. Can't really determine much from your photos...
It's tough to say with the photos. But the lines on the cheek and in the neck area look like they're raised imo which makes me want to think the...
Blue book is a reference for dealer 'buy' prices so the prices are lower and imo at least somewhat closer to reality than the redbooks
I'd buy both a round and octagonal $50 Pan Pac, a Pan Pac quarter eagle plus a Turban head eagle and half eagle and then finish my classic head...
Doesn't look like a doubled die to me, the only doubling that I see in the O & D is just machine doubling.
Just a guess but I imagine the Chinese or others were minting tons of fakes that only had to stand up to the mildest scrutiny that were getting...
It's in post #22 PCGS XF40
From 1972 and on every proof coin is basically a CAM or DCAM. It's pretty easy to find 1971 CAM's but some denominations are very tough in DCAM.

It's relisted now asking $15,500 or make an offer. Have to wonder how many potential buyers have been turned off by the first listing reserve...
The best part is this 'The NGC themselves had no better struck examples in 40 years of grading.' And thanks to Ebay right below that recommending...
I don't bother with it except for a small list/description that is in with my most valuable coins in my safety deposit boxes. Unless you really...
If you buy any of those you'll likely have the pleasure of being underwater on them as long as the coins were.
Then argue with the TPG's over it, but imo it's a losing fight. Seems it only continues to get worse if you view and grade every coin from a...
I also really doubt that Ebay programmed it so if you had that user blocked so you wouldn't see their listings, etc that the new names auctions...
Denomination didn't appear on coinage until the 1804 quarter dollar. People were more familiar and apparently used to determining what coinage was...
How exactly would cleaning the coin 'destroy most of the 90% silver the coin is made-up-from'? The surfaces are ruined yes but the coins still...
If you think either of the coins in your first post are in very good condition you really need to first learn to recognize a cleaned coin versus...
Separate names with a comma.
