Looks to me to be 35/40. I don't see it as a 45. Value? Eye appeal counts and I'm not sure I'd make that call from these photos. The scratch...
Right. For the entire wheaties series there are only 66 MS68's, and four dates alone have more than half of them. As rls says, there's only a...
Thinking hard about it. I am traveling on business until the 1st. But I think my wife will go along with heading straight down there from northern...
Thanks for both "reads", Chris and Thad. Very useful. The one I'm not very clear on is "5. A close AM 1992 cent is actually an error. It's a...
PVC flips were pretty common in the '70s. You can tell easily enough by the plastic shower curtain smell and its bendable nature. If it's very...
Not just the L. The I and B too. If you read LIBERTY backwards you will see that the letters start off strong and get progressively worse as you...
Neither date is particularly difficult to find or expensive. I would suggest buying a problem-free one. The damage to your coin is fatal and...
Well, it may be the second lowest minted but SF still pumped out 64 million. Not exactly scarce. As for price, it doesn't do badly at all...
Merc Crazy nailed it! WTG! Everyone was very close, though. Impressive. 65RD - 1903 65RB - 1905 64RD - 1899 64RB - 1906 63RB - 1876 Genuine...
Very pretty presentation! You have a good eye for this sort of thing. Leaving my coins on display for guests, cleaners or tradesmen to see makes...
I don't collect world coins but I've owned a few Chinese silver dollars and I know they are heavily counterfeited. But I am not sure the value of...
I see. There's PVC evidence on both sides, actually. It probably sat in a bad flip for some time. I'd love to see "after" pix. It doesn't appear...
Beautiful, Illini. The 1909's are especially wonderful. If you change your mind on that 65RB be sure to PM me. I remember when Jonathan's VDB was...
Well that just sucks. Sorry to hear it. I would have called Heritage and made some not-so-kind noise. What coin was it? Did you buy it raw? PVC...
There are only four displayed in this thread. Do you think they're all doctored, Leadfoot? Including the PCGS and NGC examples? Did you return...
Oh my. I've never seen so many fingerprints on one coin. I guess that makes it kind of special. Different, anyway. It's interesting that NGC said...
Last chance at guesses before the answers are revealed today. Lance.
A large, reputable auction, such as one of the Heritage ones. The upcoming Long Beach auction has 6 or 8 to choose from. You might find some at a...
Yes, you are correct that the first one is O.108, R4 (BHNC R2). It was in a blue ANACS AU50, crossed to PCGS with a different grade. It's a little...
MPL's are a joy to behold. My favorite is below. No, it is not mine. It sold last year for $200k+. PCGS graded it PR67+RB. 1909 VDB MPL's are...
