I looked at it again and yes, there is slight wear on most of those hair strands above the ear, imo. If you compare different areas you can see...
Just now returned to the forum… I see wear in the wheat kernals, the top and bottom of the Phrygian Cap, the cotton bolls and leaf edges. Also...
Yes, it has the bag marks and face chatter, but your coin exhibits wear whereas this one does not…imo…Spark

I disagree with the “details” denouncement, I don’t think the excessive contact marks sink it, but they are prevalent enough on both sides to make...
Yes. This is evidence of heat and force PMD damage, and dropped too. …imo…Spark edited to add: the date appears to be 1974…
Look at it this way: Since 1942 ( 81 years ago ) there exists a high probability that all of the varieties have been identified and catalogued....

It probably would, but why double up when you can just do it right once? Changing from a flip to a capsule is the better choice. I have had to...
Importance and super safety from damage. Some of these deserve encapsulation, if not slabs. I have quite a few MS63 Quarters in flips, but all...
You win. Hard to refute your last post, my fine Sir. I was surprised by the MS69 listing but I had no idea they were available for those prices,...
Correct…but…there’s always a chance some ignoramus raided his Dad’s collection and spent it on a candy bar…imo…Spark
Check out NumisMedia/FMV for values they have for higher grades. The MS65/66/67 range gets into slab justification. @rte …this is what I was...
Well, every coin there shows cartwheeling so, imo, all of them have value above face. Now you want to check the reverse for the “cross-hatch” or...
Yes. And I found the interest level in the most appropriate forum to be critical. A foreign gold post to sell got crickets while melt silver had...
