I don't like any of the three and think you should keep looking.
Typical. Always made me nervous, but in the end it's Heritage's responsibility to deliver the coin and they have done so.
We all have to learn somehow. Just be thankful your education was only $80. :)
That is a very good question rzage. The coin, sans spots, is at least a 66 by PCGS standards. With spots, who knows. I guessed 65.
I browsed that website when you posted the half dime. I must say that he has quite a selection of nice coins.
I'd pay a bit more for a circulated type 2, but you make a good point -- one should be able to get circulated ikes for little to no premium.
I have no idea what the addl value (if any) from the die variety. That disclaimer aside, and speaking of the coin itself, the price is not out of...
I'll guess 40, but buffalos are tough to grade, and i'm not particularly good at them either.
That is a nice coin! Is the yellow hue correct? If so, that reminds me of a coin that has been dipped and started to retone -- not that there's...
Although I agree with virtually all you've said/asked, that's rather harsh, Paul. :( Thanks for your response, Ruben. I think we should all...
p.s. If you mean the field just left and below, the "chin" area is quite normal for this coin. It appears to be die wear/buckling and very...
That actually looks like quite a nice coin. I see no problems in the photos that would preclude it from slabbing at NGC/PCGS. The only reasons I...
I am not blind, Ruben. :) I see the black spots. All I can offer is that the TPGs and JA don't seem to hate them as much as you do....
p.s. YMMV stands for "your mileage may vary". :)
I agree with you, however the market and the TPGs disagree. Don't confuse YOUR standards with the broader market, Ruben, to do so would be a...
I suspected you never used them.... The reason I asked is that I've read many, many similar posts about CAC, all from folks who don't like or...
So are virtually all of them, Ruben. That's the point.
Ruben, I am surprised you think that 28-s has a "substandard strike". I could not disagree more, and I'd bet if you chose 10 mint state examples...
Have you used their services?
So we are to take Ruben's word (based on a crappy heritage photo no less) over the words of CAC and NGC? I like you Ruben, but not that much....
Separate names with a comma.
