It's a scam fest on there. I searched "in cod we trust" last night and got like 5000+ results.
What did I win? A TPG job? I would be just what they're looking for. It took me less than 5 seconds to grade it correctly. One look at the...
Nah. Here's an MS68 FB. Some sort of art deco font or something. Edit: the current quarter obverse has the same issue. [ATTACH]
They are all like that.
Publicity, marketing, psychology, reputation - that sort of thing. The PCGS blurb calls it "the highest priced U.S. coin for its rarity." Like the...
MS63
Ask them why is it so cheap then? and see what entertaining story they come up with. Funny, suddenly I have to register in order to see listings...
I don't see it listed at Cuds on Coins, maybe you should submit it. https://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-spike-heads-1950-1959/
@Cazador has about the same likes per post (lpp) as I do, at 1.76 lpp. That's the metric to use! @lordmarcovan has a whopping 2.61 lpp, but he's...
On the cost of grading, it can be done cheaper than stated. If you have 5 coins to grade, $16 each at ANACS plus $36 return shipping so $23.20 per...
I don't recall seeing any sort of template. In many cases use the reverse. Here the memorial is "level"; on Indian Head cents "one cent" is level...

I'll just address this part - during the era when mint marks were punched into each die, small rotations of the MM were common and there was no...
I think you mean "rotated dies" and not "misaligned"? Liberty is not level in the obverse image so it's not as rotated as you think. I don't think...
They give refunds? Do you have to ship it back? These are the highest priced fakes I've seen on there. I've seen some in the $80 range that...
@Jack D. Young The Chinese site also has a set of three, different certs than the above. [ATTACH] 37819075 verifies as MS66+, scans as 80501712...

You might already know, but there are a bunch of varieties of those Victoria large cents. It might be fun to try to ID them....
Here are mine. Many collectors don't know that there were two reverse hub types used for 1903-S dimes. An extra fold was added to the right ribbon...
The Greer book is here https://archive.org/details/compguidelibdime1992lawr/mode/2up - Breen numbers are mentioned in some of the blurbs but I...
