Might very well be MS64. Sometimes ICG gets it very right. It certainly looks pretty! But any sign of the slightest rub will give it an AU grade....
Very nice! I'd guess AU55-58. I love those little things. The older I get the smaller they seem. Lance.
I like Heritage too. Best auction house, huge audience. Hard to lose. No middle man cut but the 15% fee buyers pay is always factored into bids....
I'm not a Jefferson collector but I have access to NGC pops. Looks like NGC has 5FS and 6FS designations. Are they tougher about full steps as...
If you are serious about selling any of these I would get in touch with Andy Skrabalak at Angel Dees. Andy deals in very high end small cents and...
Thank you, Mark. I appreciate that! Lance.
Huh? Wire rim, whizzed? No, I don't think so. I'll bet that '09 is spectacular! Sarah, get someone to shoot better photos! Lance.
LOL! Well, I showed it because it could have been a $2k+ coin. But I sold it for what I figured it was worth: $750. What a crying shame too. Look...
Widely saved, sometimes. Cheaper, not usually. We all know it comes down to mintage, surviving numbers, the different Mints, etc. But it wouldn't...
Don't do anything to them. If you don't like them, sell them. Others will like their appearances. Personally, I like the 2nd one quite a bit. Lance.
Understood. I'm happy to but I'm on a weeklong business trip. If no one gets you what you want by then PM me and I'll scan the pages for you. Lance.

Not my taste but there's a market for everything. If you like them, go for it. Collect what you like and forget about what anyone else thinks. Lance.
Historically, the first year of a new series or major design change has ultimately become desirable and valuable. These may too, in 100 years or...
I'm not at home now but I'm pretty sure these abbreviations are defined in the early part of the book. Have you looked well through the first 20...
Here are several more, Marshall, if you enjoy this. Don't feel obligated. Those you already attributed helped a lot. I took your notes for each...
Hi Sarah. Any grades we guess are just that. We can be way off. It's hard enough to do from great photos and these are really not good enough,...
I agree. "Both sides must be shown" is a good rule, especially for raw coins. ebay requires a photo of the reverse holder, not because it's...
Sell it to me! :D Lance.
You're right! Now that's interesting. Whoever owns it should contact PCGS Customer Support to see if it was a clerical error. Harpo, where'd that...
