There is a very large "S" right above the "2 1/2" on the bottom of the reverse. Even though it is large, it might be tough to see because it...
I just think there is a difference between a legitimate cherrypick of a dealer and purchasing something that obviously is mispriced or misplaced....
Thank you very much for posting the image. I would not have paid what the buyer did for that coin.
That is a truly attractive, well matched set that is far nicer than typically found. Good work!
That is an 1857-S, not an 1857 and this makes an enormous difference in value beginning in the higher AU grades. If authentic, the piece looks...
I don't know if your coin has original, undisturbed mint luster since it is just so white. It may be original, but there is a decent chance it has...
That's a heck of a find, but I don't know that I could have done that to my favorite coin shop.
Others have already let you know that wiping down your coins can cause significant damage to the pieces, regardless if they are circulated,...
It is my understanding that the Peacock Ikes are in PCGS holders and, in my opinion, the next generation of those Ikes that were produced found...
I don't like to follow these CT-sponsored rover links so could someone post an image of the coin?
The SLQ design was changed after the 1924 issues so that the date was placed in exergue. This is why you can find relatively low grade SLQs from...
If it's real then it's AU. Don't clean it; that is a $1,000-$2,000 coin if genuine and problem-free.
This is a really good post and I agree that the coins when stored in the original packaging take on a quite attractive toning scheme.
Thank you for asking the question since what I wrote was likely unclear for others, too. My response was a general response for some series, but...
I would have to say that based upon your images that the pair of 1913 coins would be my favorites, too.:hail:
I don't think it's in a PCGS holder because the flexible ring that surrounds the coin in a PCGS holder is not frosted all the way to the coin....
Heck of a colorful coin for a CC.
Who certified it? I ask because it doesn't "feel" like a PCGS holder to me. Anyway, is that a spot of green on the T in UNITED?
An original-skinned 1907-S in VF or EF is simply a beast, but few who don't study this series all the time would realize it.
I think you are wasting your money at that price.
