Take a loupe and look at the bottom of the 7 in your 1887. If you see a thin piece of metal extending to the right you more than likely have an...
for roughly 5 dollars, I'd say you got one heck of a deal. I think the nickel would grade a 64. :)
Wow, I definitely need to spend some more time in the resources section. I would have saved myself a lot of trouble comparing the two varieties. :)
I'm not sure this post is really neccessary, but I wasn't able to find the answer to this question when I googled it. I finally figured it out...
I bought this coin for nearly double greysheet today, as I disagree with the grade on the holder. I'm interested to see what all of you think.
Don't know if you guys heard yet, but they are finding these on the proof coins now.
I would recommend canon's powershot sd-450. It can be purchased for just under 200 and it works great.
Don't think anyone mentioned this, but make sure you don't clean your coins. It will be a lot of work with all those coins. If you would ever like...
not sure about the VAM number, but I believe your coin would grade an au-58 or possibly a 62/3 (I'm leaning towards 58, but would need to see it...
Oops. I definitely should have clarified that, as I think some people think they are getting a coin struck with from a brand new die when they...
The job is wonderful. I am 10x (by no means a scientific measurement) better at grading now than I was 3 months ago. It's amazing what looking at...
Jase, first strike simply means that the coin was one of the early mintages. There is absolutely no way of knowing if your coin falls into the...
I forgot to mention, that I think the first may grade as high as a 40, and the second as high as a 55. I've noticed that often times scans wash...
Adam, The first I believe would grade a 35, and the second one I would grade an au-50. I graded a 35, as nearly all skirt lines are showing,...
Technical grade I would say a 58, market grade 62.
Someone had the secret service verify it's authenticity, then some famous counterfeiter claimed it was his work. My question is did they ever...
I would recommend getting a copy of the greysheet for a few dollars, and then purchasing slabbed lincoln cents on ebay. I would also recommend...
As for the grade, I think it is a 2/3 liner, and would need to see it in hand to say further.
Or a humboldt :)
64. The luster is great, the strike is good, but there are too many marks on miss liberty's skirt to 65 IMO.
