Also here are my 2000-P Sacagawea dollars. I know they are very modern and not worth much but I thought I'd share anyway. I hope that's cool if I...
Here are my two 1979 Susan B Anthony dollars. 1979-D: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It has a number of hits in the eyebrow, nose, upper lip, and...
I thought near the RT letters on the obverse might have a little left but perhaps not (or so little it doesn't matter).
Also I'm assuming these aren't significant VAMs.
1922: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It has decent detail compared to photogrades but not much luster. It also has that discoloration over the date... I'm...
I'm comparing against PCGS photograde examples. If I look at the hair on the 1886, I'm seeing more lines of detail in mine than the XF45, let...
If it was messed with it would have had to have happened a long time ago. I'm not sure how to tell on that though (or what you mean really). But...
What qualities of the coin condition do you think I'm overlooking?
On the 1921, is it the color that brings it down? The level of definition seemed to be there but wasn't sure... Also by conservation, are you...
I wanted to try to grade and value something so I picked the Morgan dollars I have. I compared mine to PCGS photograde for grading. I'm also...

The O has the same look at the T though, so I guess it would technically be "IN G D WE RUST".... You can still see the letters though, so I...
LOL, yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes, I am assuming you look at both sides. Just wondering what to go by when they don't match up to the same...
When you are looking at PCGS photos (for example) to estimate the grade of a coin, do you need go with the lowest grade that matches best with...
Oh... everywhere I've read, they've said something like that would fall under cleaning your coin and is a big no-no. However, it does make me...
So if I am putting my pictures side by side with the PCGS photograde, how is the grade determine when the obverse and reverse don't line up best...
Hmm, how would I tell? I imagine if I tried to scrape it off, I'd do more harm than good.
It's not dirt and it's textured. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
