That stinks , you'd think their QC would check out all that before it leaves the factory . Thanks .
I agree .
Dick , just wondering if this one ends tomorrow ?
You make 60 sound like we have one foot in the grave already . That said they'll go to my son or any grandkids I may have , with written...
A lot better pics . I'll ask one of the CONECA guys to take a look .
One thing about grading red cents is that the tpgs love luster . If a coin has great luster they might raise the grade . Also the pics tend to...
If you're ever thinking of selling it , I might be interested .
Is the doubling you're seeing flat or rounded ? Here's a good link for MD . http://www.errorvariety.com/OFD/MD.html

When I said buy the coin , I should have finished the sentence with , Buy the coin not the slab . Like Tom B. said treat these coins as raw . As...
Pass , I'm willing to bet those coins aren't MS-66 more probably 62s OR 63s . Buy the coin , but if you must buy sight unseen at least use PCGS...
Are those little slices into the hologram ? Maybe to keep people from peeling them off .
Biggest thing I learned , was how much I didn't know . Now I have a very decent library and most important , I use it . Knowledge is power !!!!!
Older Victorian coins are always worth more than melt , though this is a detailed coin , I'm sure you could get $10-20 for it as a hole filler .
