These ain't the best, but I don't have the coin anymore - gave it to the gf to take to the post office in case it goes back. [IMG] [IMG]
I won this Saint at the Boston Heritage auction. What is this "crud" on the coin? When viewed head on it completely disappears. When viewed at...
I recently bought this gold dollar and there is a small patch of hairlines in front of Miss Liberty's chin. The rest of the coin seems clean....
Recently picked up a $5 lib for about $375, just came back from PCGS as MS63.
If this was one of our navy ships, where hundreds of our sailiors died, the US wouldn't take kindly to it being plundered either.
My only good one. It was a gift from the GF for our aniversary. She got a steak dinner, I got a silver dollar. For some reason, you don't see...

Got 4 rolls of MF at the bank today. I opened up one roll to spend and I was surprised they were D mint (i'm in the midwest). They were also...
I've only got one CAC coin with the green jobbie on it, what does the gold signify?
Jay, I agree wholeheartedly. Buying slabs does take a lot of fun out of buying new coins. But as a relative newby, I have been disappointed a...
Ok, coin was sent back. Once the Post Office "finds" it, I should have my refund. After searching many lots on Heritage, I like this one the...
Might sound trite and foolish, but I enjoy the hunt and the satisfaction of finding one myself. The pictures in the auction made the coin look...
Well, I took the coin to a local shop and all there examined it. The general concensus was au55-58 possilbly lightly cleaned or whizzed. The...
What do you mean by this, that someone filed down the edges to smooth out some rim nicks? I would say however, that the reeding isn't quite as...
The weight seems about right - as compared to a $25 modern gold coin (about half the weight, though I don't have a scale).
I just checked out the PCGS photograde site, and am leaning towards AU55-58. On mine the top of the bun of her hair is pretty flat - compared to...
