For errors, ANACS and NGC are cheaper than PCGS. If you have a monumental error, or an error on an older coin, pay for NGC or PCGS. PCGS is a flat...
I found 11 cents (a dime and a cent) under the carpet in my house when I put in hard wood. Just for kicks I left the same coins under the wood.
I hate it too. Usually when you post an advert it costs me money. I really wish you'd sell crummier coins that are less tempting. Please don't...
Absolutely. Marks in prime focal areas are always going to drag a grade down. I agree with 63ish.
I would be interested in acquiring a copy of Burzinski's Communion Tokens of the World. If you have one, I'd like to talk. Thanks!
Found this little guy in the grocery Coin Star today. [IMG] [IMG]
Early devices were acid etched. Then sandblasting was used. Now, laser etching is the norm. The fields on the die are then polished and planchets...
If you plan to sell it, and plan to in the US, I'd recommend PCGS. ICCS has a reputation for being a stricter grading service than NGC or PCGS. I...
I would say for non-numismatists, it's a neat, gimmicky way to engage the public. There's a bit of the "Oh wow, look!" factor. For collectors, it...
I agree. They are pieces specifically sought out by collectors and held. Extraordinary unlikely to end up in uninformed hands and exchanged as...
For $26? You did fine. There's some reasonable stuff there. Heck, the cents you pictured are worth about that.
I hate to say it, but I'm feeling more like 64 now. It might squeak to 65. Too many marks on Monticello and the field hit is still a deal breaker...
I read up on the country last night. Sounds like it is not recognized by anyone accept three other countries that no one recognizes... It's...
I'm not a collector of the type but I've heard nothing but good things about these coins. Well struck example!
I would ask for better pictures, particularly of the reverse. The "R" in PLURIBUS is a typical die marker for the Henning copies.
I'm thinking 65 at best. My eye is drawn right to the reverse nick. I'm not familiar with the type, but I just have a feeling it's a deal killer...
Is there an actual coin under the chop marks? [emoji4]
I got my camera and lens in the mail today. Hopefully I can get the copy stand up and running tomorrow and get some pictures up.
This was my initial reaction as well. Dies spaced too far apart.
I'm in the 65 camp.
