I use 2x2 cardboard holders to write date, grade, buycode, variety attribution, etc on and then slip the 2x2 in a PCGS-submission type mylar,...
Appears to have the details of an AU/BU example, but I wouldn't feel comfortable calling the surfaces original until sufficient photos are...
gem proof ;)
Looks like it has some "Fine" details, but what's that glob of somethin' over "RTY" on Bust's headband? Hope it's not a plug, because that's...
Both are post-mint damaged (PMD). The cent looks like a dryer coin, and the quarter looks like it was hit hard with a screwdriver. EDIT: Just...
Bullion is always "hot" around the holidays... But as far as numismatic material goes, I can't say. I could tell you what isn't doing too well in...

All of the above suggests are good, but if you're ever still suspicious of a coin's authenticity, just post a few pics here and we'll give you our...

I like that one, Rusty! She's dark but not too dark - meaning still nice enough to enjoy. :) Anyway, thanks for the kind words, gents! Looks like...
Neat errors! :thumb: In reality, neither carry any significant premium, but they're neat conversation pieces and definitely worth hanging onto.
Nah, I think the grade assigned is accurate - the coin has just developed some mint-set "haze" (toning), which isn't something that will typically...
Thanks, Rusty... but it's in a VF30 holder. ;)
Thanks!... and please feel free to share these "similar" Bust halves!! :yes:I'm a sucker for original CBHs, in case you didn't know. :rolleyes:...
haha, funny you say that - the title I gave the images on Photobucket was "VF35alldaymaybeXF40". :p
