My lowest is probably a J-125 3-Cent silver pattern of 1850. estimated mintage is about 50 pieces. My regular issue is an 1872 MS66PL 3-cent...

Lots of sales have moved to the internet. Even the big auction houses are doing extremely well. With most of the shows closed over the last year...
I picked up several PCGS 64 Buffalo nickels and a couple fractional notes to upgrade ones in my collection. For me, it was a successful show. My...
I am at the show. Crowded but not extremely so. Dealers complaining that they don't have enough stock. (I heard it a couple of times from dealers...
Extreme die wear erosion. Just a worn-out die struck coin. The die should have been pulled out of service way before it struck this coin.
I agree, it looks like a grease filled die struck the coin resulting in the weak or missing details on the reverse. Sometimes people will polish...
The Kentucky quarter is scratched, so not an error, but damaged in circulation. A die is used to strike or press the image into the coin. When a...
All 90% silver coins are currently at least worth 18 times face value. (fluctuates with the price if silver.) As previously stated, you also have...
I would send it in to NCS to have the spots removed if possible. The coin has a nice look and it would be a shame to damage it from a cleaning try...
It looks to me to be damaged after leaving the mint, as the area of the edge appears to be pushed out slightly and the reeds are slightly...
It looks to me to possibly be some debris on the coin and that caused the toning difference around it. Looking at it with a 10x magnifier on an...
I think the morgan looks fake. The cam look just seems off to me. I would rather have the half.
coins like this have just led a hard life. No one really knows what happened since it was minted. The coin is very baggy (lots of little scrapes...
If you think 3rd party graders are hard, wait until you have an EAC grade on the same coin. Now that is strict grading!
As far as I am concerned, if you negotiate a price, and agree on the price, you should then buy it and take it with you. I think it is bad form to...
I would say EF details, environmental damage.
I think both coins were modified after leaving the mint. The 61 maybe was dipped in mercury. The 88 also appears to be coated with something as...
I have both of those books as well, but they really don't cover the Fractional gold pieces. However, both are interesting to read. You will enjoy...
looks like reed marks across the cheek and neck. any original Peace dollar with those marks would probably get a MS64 grade.
