Yeah, I was confused (again). Think I fixed it.
Depends on the series. Some series/dates it's just not reasonable (or cost effective) to get a full strike, others it is. SLQs is a prime...
Some of you guys still aren't getting it.... This coin has been cleaned. Most folks would say harshly. The hairlines (and 62 grade) are...
Ya never fail to disappoint, G. lol
Ahh, 1839, the transition year.... Here's a VFish Booby Head (N-11): [img][img] And an N-3, Head of '38, in an oddly (net?)graded slab, PCGS MS...
p.s. by way of comparison, here's my ngc 66, which, outside the strike and stain, I think compares very similarly to the coin that is the subject...

Wow, blast from the past. My comment on this thread: It is impossible to objectively describe something that is subjective. You can try but...
You can't blame the kid for trying, I suppose. :) Got a good laugh at the Dori comment, though.
AU? You guys are delusional. ( :) ) That's a mint state coin or my name ain't Leadfoot. Hey, wait a minute! lol Seriously, that's at least a...
I would answer "likely not". But the question I really want to ask is: "Why?"
Rob can wield the glass, can't he. :)
I can see why that's your favorite, Marshall. Nice coin!
I suspect the photo makes the scratches appear worse than they do in-hand.
I guessed 65 because of the hit on the cheek and in the right field. Could see a 64 too -- depending on how it looks in hand. I would be...
OK, here are two '38s, and N-5 and N-8, in PCGS AU 50 and 58, respectively: [img][img] [img][img] FWIW, I disagree with the grade of the first...
Detecto, That's a very nice piece of copper! The best praise I can offer is that looks like a coin I would have in my collection, and it reminds...
Separate names with a comma.
