Learn Grading: What Are Full Bands and Full Torch? https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6812/learn-grading-dimes/ From what I can see, the bottom...
Uh, the first line in the article states that it was sold at GC for that amount. Here's the sale....
Perhaps @Wheatpennyerrorhound will return and tell us what "error" designation PCGS gave it, because the link currently shows it as a regular...
Lincoln label on a Jefferson coin I suppose.
The lighting confuses my eye perhaps. I can only see it as raised. The OP does say "raised letters stamped in the date" but I can't understand how...
Except the letters and portrait are clearly raised. Vice job is incuse.
You don't need to be a member to look up a cert. https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45427046 I don't know what you call that but it's not a DDO - the...
My first thought was lacquer/varnish too, but I'm not very experienced with what aged or messed-with lacquer looks like. It also reminded me of...
Recent sales of the 1911-D $5 in MS61 are $6600-7900. When it seems too good to be true, it probably is, but greed wins over reason. The seller...
The quarter obverse denticle count changed going from Obv1 to Obv2 in 1900 when the inner ear changed, but stayed the same going to Obv3 when the...
Plenty of giveaways. 0 feedback, no other items for sale, two images stolen from NGC in a 3 prong holder followed by blurry closeups in a 4 prong...
I'll point out that there are changes to the denticle count in other Barber coins. For example when the quarter reverse wingtip changes occurred...
@justafarmer thanks, I suspect the same. The specific situation is the Cuba 1915 star peso "no dots" variety (NGC calls it No Periods). You may...
I'm doing some research on a Barber era variety and am wondering where in the model/galvano to master hub to master die to working hubs to working...
Seems like 1876 is a common date for this sort of damage, due to the centennial year. I have a half made into a watch fob.
By the way, ANACS has also graded these. You'll need a login to see their pop report. It's rather tedious to get there for their non-US coins....
NGC is here (under "NGC Census") and scroll down to 1965. Make sure the PF button is selected - it seems like MS and PF are both the same url....
How does ebay police a seller's "located in" info? I'm curious how that works, because I suspect that these ship directly from China, and this...
This part cracked me up. Their definition of "coin collector" must have been "anyone alive." Everyone was pulling the silver out.
Good one! I grew suspicious at the metallurgical results and knowing your specialty, but couldn't quite put two and two together. I'm amazed that...
Separate names with a comma.
