This one still hurts... It's a 1948-S/S that I spotted on eBay a couple years ago. It was unattributed and the bidding was very low on it. I...
I'm not sure what that sticker is. It looks like it says "Littleton Select". It needs one of these... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I really like that one! It reminds me of the look of a full moon rising through a smokey atmosphere.
Yes the gold stamp is on the outside. It's right after they stopped using the white labels. The generation lineup was the 1.0 Black core with a...
I think it would sell at a premium. The number one rule of selling anything is that it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Also...
Here is a 1976-D Ike Dollar that I have with a strike through. It's right on the date. What you want to look at are the edges of the indent....
The biggest clue is something you already mentioned. The lack of displaced metal. If your coin appears to have surfaces that are not raised near...

Here are some high detail shots of the cheek, nose and neck. You can really see the texture of the metal. The die was definitely rusty and had...
Actually, those are planchet preparation marks that were never fully struck out. There is no displaced metal signifying a post strike scratch....
My appreciation of this coin has just jumped significantly. I've discovered it's actually a nice early die state VAM-4a. The cheek and neck show...
I think the cheek looks much worse in the images than they do in hand. Honestly it looks more like it was pressed against the canvas bag and had...
You are echoing my feelings on it. It's not worth a resubmission to get an extra point. The reason I buy these kinds of coins, is that in the...
Yeah, it's almost as if they gave the entire set a grade bump as a reward for being an original set. I wouldn't doubt that that probably happens.
No reveal has been made yet. I have not confirmed anyone's guess either. Just the variety that happened to slip by me. Which I guess can happen...
In general there is nothing wrong with APMEX if you are buying bullion. My problem with APMEX is they use stock images on numismatic items....
