Thanks for the info budgood! It will be well taken care of. And thanks for tending to all my questions. I have one more while you are here,...
Received the coin, and am overall quite please. It has a crusty look to it, slightly olive colored with some orange/brown highlights around the...
No need to apologize to him. He was being a jerk.
I would think the quarter is at least XF details. Not so much because of the detail remaining that I see, but because a lot of luster remains,...
Definitely plated. A Kennedy half dollar sized solid gold coin would weight well over 20 grams.
Now that you point out the date, it does look to be fake in comparison to other barber halves. Buying raw keys on ebay is always risky....
I believe I see a twinge of luster on this coin in the words "UNITED" and "AMERICA" on the reverse. Certainly not 30-40%, but I rarely see that...
That is a terrific deal on the buffalo! I remember looking at them last year, and my local dealer was selling MS-66 38-Ds for $100 a pop...so good...

NGC gave it a VF details(improperly cleaned) and it sold to me for $660.00. So taking into consideration that the coin is probably hairlined or...
I don't quite know what to call it, but I have managed to combine all of my gold coins into one album, and it's sort of evolved into what you see...
That quarter is BEAUTIFUL!! High grade toned classic coins side by side in a Dansco 7070 is one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed as a...
Ok, so I thought I was done buying gold for a while. NOPE! Bug hit hard again in a way I didn't expect it to. I have always revered the elusive...
Thank you! Gold is definitely a favorite of mine.
Hudson got it. MS-61. Thanks for the comments all!
It is NGC certified. Nothing spectacular grade-wise, but this is one of my favorite coin types and I wanted to add a certified one to my set....
Thanks DoK! If I'm still in the market, I may take you up on that. I love the 07 $10 indians. :-)
?? Given the coin is genuine, I'd pay $600 for it any day of the week(and I really would since I'm in the market for a no motto indian, though I...
thanks for the thoughts. Maybe it came in contact with some chemicals along the way that didn't inhibit the luster? The reverse is a bit wild, but...
