I send all my ASEs to SGS. Even the ones with scratches and fingerprints come back as MS-70; which helps my self image.
Agreed Frydaddy. Being as informed as possible about anything you invest in is wise. Blindly throwing $10,000 at an investment broker is just...
Nice Morgan, Morgan! Your post brings up another good point. AU-58 graded coins usually look better than uncs because once an MS-60 coin gets a...
I feel you aren't looking at this realistically. Picture yourself going to the grocery store two separate times.The two total grocery bills are...
You can bet he'd be asking a heck of a lot more than melt if you decided to sell it to him!
One suggestion: stay off the cell phone. Nothing annoys me more than a vendor whom I'd like to buy from, but annoys me by ignoring me.
The Unites Stated stopped making the half cent in 1857, due to lack of buying power. Imagine how much more buying power 1/2 cent had back then,...
Well Westtexas, responding to your original post: You need to make your own decision. It sounds like you are following the PM market enough as of...
I think the mint could do a lot better if they didn't need congress approval for any major decision they are faced with. When people bring up...
I wouldn't mess with it. It's not a high dollar coin where eye appeal will gain you anything. My 1934-S has similar color, and I don't have the...

To me it sounds like another wonderful law that makes it more difficult for the average law abiding citizen, and changes nothing for the criminal...
I would give it an AU-50 with a bit of tarnishing. Definitely a cool find!
There is a possibility this coin could have just been post-mint heat treated, probably cooled extremely fast. If it's weight checks out, this...
I'd use it as a pocket piece for a few months, then I can send you some bottom ash from our boilers at work (high in sulfur). It should tone...
I believe what you are looking for does not exist from the mint. You'd have to assemble your own set to include the Ikes. I never understood their...
No doubt in my mind it's post mint damage.
Supply and demand is the key in my opinion. It doesn't matter how much they are pulling from the mines, if less are buying and a bunch of...
I'm not a true expert on the series, so a grade is out of the question, but i see no signs of cleaning from the pictures provided.
The big advantage of AU-58 coins is that they many times were MS-63 or higher, whereas an MS-60 coin is just a low grade uncirculated coin. I...
