If I didn't know better, I'd say those are planchet roller marks on the rims (and the gouge on the reverse being the most notable/worst). I'd be...
Neat idea!
I think an experienced grade can look at the wear on a coin and grade it appropriately. There is also knowledge of the series - certain Civil War...
I'm almost exclusively exonumia at this point, with the bulk of my collection being Civil War tokens.
I just wanted to share (and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been here...) a sigh of relief I uttered this afternoon. I sent a submission to...
Nice piece, Hugh! This one is die pairing 5-G, Rarity 2 - PCGS doesn't list the pairings like NGC does. Well bought at that price. I looked at it,...

This is uncommon, but not unheard of. The PCGS database periodically updates and sometimes the old cert numbers don't make it to the new system if...
I'm preparing a May PCGS order if you're interested in piggy-backing. PM for details.
SOLD: This came as part of a lot that I purchased and is a duplicate for one in my collection. NGC MS64BN with nice, even brown surfaces and the...
This looks like how my collection got started. I still love old copper.
Same for ANACS soap bar slab.
Separate names with a comma.
