Might nice coins being shared on this thread. Love the draped bust and capped bust coinage. Here's a few more: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Doubling of the stars' rays. Doubling on the left side of Liberty's left (to viewer) leg. Rock details appear poorly struck or at least not...
An old thread from 2011, recently resurrected, called "PCGS Coin Sniffer" motivated me to do something I've been thinking about for some time. I...
@Cheech9712, just to add some detail to @Condor101's excellent reply, here are the defined numbers associated with each rarity scale. Note that...
All those pretty war nickels made me look again at the one I have in my type set and go ugh! Time to go get a nice one. I'm going to Lakeland,...
Very sorry to see that happen. I am very careful when I peel off vendor stickers just to avoid this very problem. And I never put my own...
You are one sneaky dude! I guess that's a lesson to stick to your guns, keep your powder dry, and get in the first shot as long as it's accurate....

What I mean is that if a coin is wire-brushed, the interior edge of the O will not allow the brush to get into that constricted area right up...

I didn't give a response on grade in my prior post but here goes: I think it's around an AU-53 to 55 if I had to estimate what the TPGs would...
If you were, then you'd be falling out of the palm trees during that cold snap. I live in Central Florida and we had a snap freeze. I hate the...
Thanks.
Larry, this is the F-103c die marriage, noted for the rusted obverse die, 2.3. So, this was a rusted die and I do mean rusted. One good clue, in...
Does anyone know anything about this dealer? One of my fellow Local Coin Club members asked me to look over his listings and give him some...
IN GENERAL, prices start increasing at R5. But there are exceptions in both directions. Your best bet for specifics is to follow Sheridan...
I'm going MS-66 FH and it deserves a CAC green bean. There are only a couple of little things holding it back from 67. The 1917 Type 1s are...
