Sounds like you're describing a 180 degree rotated reverse. Not sure how common/rare this is with Washingtons though.
If it's a faint outline of Washington's head w/ the normal reverse also present, it's likely a die clash. If it is Washington's head and looks...
Every time I've asked my bank to order halves for me it has been no problem. Sure, they don't always have a few thousand dollars in halves just...
Doesn't sound like you did too bad there. Of course, it's hard to say for sure until we see pictures as value of any coin is highly dependent on...
Go Saturday. If it's anything like the major shows here in SoCal, many dealers may not show up at all on Sunday and many others will leave early...
Thanks everyone. Coin A also has virtually no marks on it, I can't even find anything worth noting under 10x magnification. I can find at least a...
The PCGS Guide currently lists a 68 as being worth $400 less than a 69. I would guess it's really a bigger difference than that.
Oh, why did you have to ruin it with all of those pesky details ;) Of course you're right that there may be significant expenses/time involved,...

And I always thought it was: [IMG] Ok, not really ;)
I think an XF coin is worth around $40-$50 or so, but certified MS62-63 examples can be found for $60-$70 fairly easily. If you think you're ever...
Seems to have AU55-58 details, nice strike to it for sure. Can't really tell for sure but the reverse appears to maybe have some type of...
Wow, didn't know there were so many!! They almost ran out of letters to use. Thanks for the info :thumb:
Which one do you like better, and why??? Coin A: [IMG][IMG] Coin B: [IMG][IMG] And here they are in the slabs: [IMG] [IMG]
Are you thinking they let the techs take the big bags of change home to look through before turning them in to the company?? I'm guessing no.
For the same reasons stated above I'm choosing the St. Gaudens Double Eagle which as a gold coin also symbolizes wealth :) [IMG]
Buy the coin and not the holder :) If you want to know which plastic the market prefers, just search auction results for a given coin of the...
