You know that’s Faustina II, right? You can always tell by the hairstyle, even on very worn coins.
No, but I am collecting world proof sets of my birth year, and I was born after the majority of silver came out of coins.
@ddddd I agree, there are at least 10 examples of better looking toning on that page you listed. There are even a couple better examples in this...
I agree. The SVDB and 14-D definitely have the right look to me. I think the SVDB has a better shot than the 14-D, though. The 16-D is worth...
Interesting that there is such a huge discrepancy in the price guides, especially at 66+. Oh, and @Lehigh96 is absolutely right about the toning....
I can't really tell based on the photos, but the fact it's being sold by GSC is enough to make me pass.
No problem. I am very patient, and there's a "reserved parking" sign for it in my safe. ;)
I'd think it'd be better and simpler to develop a loupe or mini microscope you could kind of clip to the slab and view the coin that way. I don't...

Second this. I use exactly the same method to remove coins from 2x2 holders, and I've never damaged a single coin doing it.
This is my favorite as well. :) I'm very seriously considering buying an MS67 or higher Oregon Trail half to go with the rest of my set (which,...
Here’s a decent list of 1635-dated European coins: http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Coins_and_currency_dated_1635 If you know your ancestor’s...
There’s a lot of “somewhere” south of the Mason-Dixon line with terrible weather. The entire state of Florida comes to mind (unbearable humidity,...
Who’s collecting Canadian, Spanish, etc. taxes on online purchases made by Americans?
@ddddd : Take that obverse toned MS-61 and the reverse of the other, and you got yourself a monster. ;) Oh, and that 1884-O has a real bad case...
The coin is unquestionably fake. In order for it to be real, you have to explain a few things: Why was a wheat reverse die still around at the...
