I would take it out of the 2x2 because of the protective film reflecting the light and not the coin. Then roll it as green18 said. See if you can...
One issue which cannot be seen in your photographs is luster. If it does show, even some or partially, then you have an excellent shot at an AU50...
Then it was a solid purchase if you only paid XF money. Congratulations!
I'm surprised you only put a XF grade on the 1854 half dollar. I think it could be somewhere in the AU grade. It's got good detail on the obverse,...
I never stared at the note that closely, but perhaps they determined there was actual ink on the face of the note, and you were not seeing a...
I have sold off several completed collections myself. Three separate half dollar collections and one Morgan collection. I did save most of the CC...
You would need Superman's eyes to detect all that from the pictures. You asked a question that was unanswerable.
My Dad bought mint sets every year and gave them to us as Christmas presents. I continued to add to them on my own when I became an adult. But...
I would agree about the lower-end stuff. I go to shows for the better coinage, especially the hard to find pieces. If you talk to some of the...
Perhaps it is the extent of the offset. Maybe they treat it like a rotated die on coins. It's not considered for an error with a premium until it...
Mine had some offset on the back as well. Just not as severe or noticeable but in the same general location as yours..
I go most years, and since it's almost in my back yard, I'm suspect I will be there to see you. If you get published times for the taping, pass...
It is an error note with offset printing. I sold this one about a year ago for $100 but it was a graded piece.
I appreciate coins or notes being in professional slabs or holders. However, I have never purchased stickered slabs just because of the sticker....
Do I feel smarter? No. Back then I didn't know what silver's price would be today either. Do I feel lucky? Absolutely. I have been guessing right...
$2,100,000
The mint makes no reference about future availability of either coin after the set goes off sale. The article makes reference only to selling the...
I have had some surprise auction wins lately. This was another on an opening bid way under it's value. I won this on line but picked it up in...
I was at my local dealer picking up an auction item from the weekend and he was swamped with silver buyers. One of the staff told me they're...
I purchased this one through Silver Towne LP for $32.50 with free shipping. (No doubt figured in the price) Spot was around $27.50 that day.
