While I agree wholeheartedly with your general message of tolerance, the issue is not so much with those with whom we disagree, but rather with...
Nice looking coin. Reverse has a nice circam look about it. I'll call it XF-45 due to the obvious wear at the usual spots.
Thanks. You might note how much the reverse die was lapped to extend the die life. The berries are gone and leaf detail has been degraded....

Happy to get this one. Appears to be a conditional rarity with only one graded better at PCGS.
I agree, it is a vexing social trust issue. I am hesitant at my CC meetings of 40 to 50 people to pass around a coin worth hundreds to thousands...
You cannot tell anything by comparing a 1795 dollar to a 1799 dollar. All of the diagnostics are different because of how coins were made in...
Yeah, that was my suggestion. But, after some further thought, you could do the same thing with heavy artist's paper/cardstock. I buy mine at...

Whether this coin is a fake or not, it at least has the proper obverse and reverse for the BB-52 die marriage. The die crack in Liberty's hair is...
May you have 30,000 more!
No doubt about it. I have seen pretty liberal grading of early gold and some other issues. Now, whether or not CAC has relaxed their standards,...
If you go back in this US Coins forum to April 30, 2020, that is the last of a 3-page thread I started with a GTG-1859-O Liberty Seated Dollar....
No. I happen to like the coin and there is luster below that toning which has not reached the terminal stage. Besides, I've never dipped a coin...
I agree with both statements; the first a wish and the second a fact. But we know we might as well wish for unicorns so I subscribe to facing...
I assume you are referring to coins slabbed by one of the four TPGs in a Details holder that in one way or another says "Improperly Cleaned" and...
