This grading thing is really tough. I've spent a lot of time trying to grade my own raw coins fairly in my records - and I do tend to agree with...
How large are the old $1 gold coins in relation to the recently minted american eagle (1/10 oz) $5 gold coins?
If you like modern crap, then why not a pf69 ultra cameo 1/10 oz gold coin? You can find that for less than $250. That would have a high...
Interesting. Well, I guess for me there are scratches and then there are really major scratches. I prefer a coin with a minor scratch to one...
Thanks for posting that great graphic - very helpful. If only the grading services were consistent about that. I have two Morgans with scratches...
If silver goes down to $20 an ounce, you can probably bet that you and your neighbor's wages will go down too - if they haven't already. As to...
I recently completed a set of Carson City Morgan dollars - at least one from every year anyway. I've tried to stick with high grade circulated...

A little over melt? Outstanding. I recently paid $90 for one that is high AU+ or so. Nice coin you've got there.
And if they exist at all - and happen to be fakes - will we be seeing a ton of them listed one at a time sometime soon?
Whew - almost got me - then I noticed the zero feedback and Canadian location - whoops!
Ok! Thank you so much.
Thank you. Now it makes complete sense what you said. If I understand correctly, then what caused the corrosion in the crevices was damage from...
So, in this particular coin, the characteristic I'm trying to know more about is the light pitting in the crevices, most noticeable in the hair....
So you would agree that the likelihood is that were the "damage" from cleaning then it would have had to have happened before the grime gathered...
Oh, actually, I think I've got it. A machinist in the 20's dipped into some metal cleaner, didn't like the way it came out, or forgot about it -...
And if it was caused by dipping, it must have been a long time ago, no? Or could it have toned so much very quickly somehow - without toning the...
Really? do you mean the pitting or the grime? The grime contains abrasive fragments and it's very gummy. I did think that the pitting could have...
Sure - but not run of the mill in terms of rarity - it's a 8tf VAM 9 (a R-7 with less than 400 ever minted) I suppose it may have been cleaned,...
From a distance, the depressed areas in the hair look like they have a white deposit in them, but with magnification you can see that it's very...
