Yeah, these can be tricky when the toning is a bit heavy, but fun to hone your skills. A bit harder with pics also due to not really being able to...
I am at a 62. The contacts around the wing/beak area on the reverse and the flattened rim at the "DO" in dollar. On the obverse the high point...
with further review it with the wing detail missing, I think it is just a weak strike. I'll drop the grade to 65.
I think it is a MS66 even though it doesn't have the prettiest toning. There appears to be a die chip on the eagles left foot. The strike on the...
I have one very similar that was caught in my dryer. PMD.
I like the Anna May Wong coin best then the sally ride. Maya next then the other two.
lots of die erosion on both the obverse and reverse. Steps not complete so not FS. Moderate strike. Nice coin but I don't think it qualifies for...
I think the fingerprints showed up after slabbing... I think it would possibly grade lower if resubmitted unless submitted to NCS and then NGC....

I'll give it a MS64 due to copper toning spots and the ever so slightly weak strike.
the way I would explain this: If you have a car, from 50 years ago, still in pristine condition, with original paint smooth and bright, any you...
Great question! Many of the 1857's have somewhat mirrored fields similar to proofs, which as you know show marks very easily, not that I want to...
One of the top 2.... If you think it really will change the grade, give a grade for each service!
I'll say $680 hammer.
Okay, This should be a fun one as well. This coin has been in my collection for about 28 years, and it hasn't changed at all while in my care. I...
Here is the reveal:[ATTACH] Some good guesses.
These are just coins in my collection. No plans for sales at this point. Maybe in another 10-20 years LOL!
FYI- The rim at "E" in United is a rim cud from a die chip.
This one will probably have guesses all over the board. It will be interesting to see what the choices are. It is in a major 3rd party holder....
