Despite their "low mintage" they are not worth much raw. The only way I can see this becoming a payday is if the coins were in high-grade (i.e....
p.s. a serious question for you to consider, and apologizing in advance for my bluntness: Do you really have the ability to judge eye appeal and...
IMO, collector coins in that price range are rarely good investments. One out of ten people will make money, and most will get taken to the...
Really? Can I borrow your crystal ball? ;)
tpg grade: low end AU. 50 to 55. very nice coin, great color. imo
p.s. RLM, how do you decide which grade choices you include in the vote? I've always wondered, and must have missed it if you've explained it...
Another tough one, but not nearly as hard as the other one this week... Two sided coin. Obverse has rim chatter and cheek mark -- which might be...
Boy are people going to struggle on this one.... Clearly a RD coin. Can't be AU, or I'll eat it. Rims say the coin is AT LEAST a 65....
Better week for me this week. Last week had my confidence shaken. lol Larry comes back to earth a bit, Duke is, well, Duke, and SRO continues...
It's too bad the slabs obscure some of the rims because you can often grade mint-state soft coins like copper/gold from just looking at the rims....
post mint damage someone took a knife or a nail or some other sharp/pointy object to the coin, then it circulated for a while afterwards imo, of...
To answer your questions, and from what I understand... I suspect PCGS would downgrade the coin and pay the owner the difference (provided he...
OK.... You are crazy! On a serious note, I suspect most collectors have considered the same thing. I know I have....Mike
The only other thing I can fathom is they thought the coin was artifically worn. Wouldn't think they would have labeled it as you describe in...
Nope, they got it right. The photo (shot with diffused light) makes the coin appear more cameo-like than it really is.
I see nothing to suggest the coin is fake. However, there are some VERY deceptive copies of this particular issue. I would send it to NGC or...
I voted love it. I really like circulated toners like the coin posted by the OP. That it holds sentimental value makes it even better!
Thanks for the correction, Chris. I had forgotten NGC joined the + game too. FWIW, I also agree that NGC's customer service is superior to PCGS....
Dealers don't back their opinions with a guarantee of authenticity. TPGs do. That said, slabbing coins of a value below about $200 doesn't seem...
Toning absolutely CAN flake off. That's not what happened on this coin, I'll wager. What I thinh happened to that '95 quarter is the coin was...
