In my opinion it has been quite some time since ANACS could be lumped together with NGC and PCGS. Truly, there are only two major players in the...
The 1803 is a much better date. I could see this coin as an EF45.
Obvious fakes. If these counterfeits look at all good to you then I would suggest quite strongly that you put your money away until you learn a...
The coin looks like an AU with a spot from corrosion above the N on the reverse. I would not certify this coin, but others might.
I don't have images handy, but the pieces look very cool.
Sounds like a good reason to me.:)
In a perfect world I guess a low end MS64 would be worth something similar to a high end MS63, but in reality the company that graded the coin,...
Scans can make coins look really bad, however I must admit that the coin looks overgraded at MS64. Regardless, the bid on the coin at that grade...
The image is terrific. Do you have a reverse image, too?

I believe the experimental aluminum cents were made in 1974, not 1975.
It's tough to take good images of coins. The 1988 US Mint Set looks fine since the coins are more important than the packaging and it also isn't...
Let me mention again that I don't know that it has been cleaned; it just has that feel from the images that have been provided. Now, does that...
Twenty rolls of nickels at a face value of $2 per roll is $40 face value coinage. If you paid $15 for this $40 face value then you did well....
It's simply marketing. It is a private company that repackages moder US coinage and then sells it for a hefty premium to those who don't know better.
Experience is the best guide, but if you have a Red Book it might not be a bad idea to look through it.
