Hey Ken, Your posts are still comical, I must say, but it's a shame we can't chat in those e-meetings like earlier this year. But anyway, just...
Looks like a mint-state coin to me! The reverse toning is rather dark, and those hits on the cheek wouldn't have gone unnoticed on the grading...
Almost looks like it could be a flipover, in-collar double strike... But without better pics, we're all going to assume it's the work of a vice.
Solid coin! :thumb: I'm gonna take a stab at the grade and say PCGS called it VG10... :)
Does the fact that it's "old" make it unsuitable for posting? Is it flawed? Or is my logic flawed? :scratch: If it ain't broke, don't fix it....
Looks like it was within a bezel... Possibly part of a jewelry piece for someone born in the year 1966? :rolleyes:
More than a cent? Yes... maybe a 100x premium. You do the math. :D
I'd pick C, because all of the others occurred post-mint... :D But honestly, I'd rather have no luster, dirt-crusted, and evenly-worn devices. ;)
Yup, looks like a minor curved rim clip. :thumb: I'm picking up the Blakesly Effect on reverse pretty well, but had my doubts just viewing the...
GSCs over-exposes there images for a reason - to hide flaws that may detour potential bidders. Rumor has it that this company has been...
I said 64 as well. :thumb: Nice coin, even if it doesn't have a FH.

I love this coin! :thumb: That patina is exactly what you should look for when purchasing circ Bust halves. I'll call it 35 as well... and did...
Another one purchased raw on eBay. :thumb: Before... [ATTACH][ATTACH] After... :) [ATTACH]
Purchased raw on eBay a couple of years ago. Waited until about six months ago to submit. Before... [ATTACH][ATTACH] After... :)...
Looks like a lamination, IMO. :thumb:
Small Letters The "Large Letters" variety is easily attributed by a heavy die break at the eagle's left wing. To my knowledge, all examples of...
Nice, original example! I like it! :thumb: And it's an O.107 R1, just for the record... :)
Maybe the graders weren't 100% certain it was a flipover D/S... and if they're not certain, they'll just call it as they see it. edited to say -...
VG10 - and I like the skin on this one! Very wholesome! :thumb: Not sure why there was any doubt regarding its authenticity... :rolleyes:
