Oooooo, thanks for this link. I'm contemplating selling my silver Roosevelts (1946-64). I've got several sets. -- UNC business strikes in an...
Thanks, Paddy. Flynn has been producing a LOT of guides. I must have 3 or 4 already. I'll definitely look this one up.
I've got two references on Capped Bust half dimes (1829-1837). -- The United States Half Dimes by D.W. Valentine -- Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837...
I have a silver Roosevelt dime set (1946-1964) that I'd like to get a quick idea of its value. They are all slabbed MS-66 by either PCGS or NGC....
IMO the OP's coin will be considered as having original surfaces AND would grade XF-40.
BUT they only insure it for what you claim it's worth. If it were "a hundred thousand dollar coin" but you only put $15 on the submission form...

Thanks for answering my VAM question. Snow varieties are only IHC coins that have some deviations caused when the the working dies were created....
I'm going to tag along with this post and add my question. Do all Morgan dollars have a VAM? I ask because I'm more familiar with IHC's and I...
I know but I spend SO much time in front of my computer that I don't need anything more to attract my attention. I don't tweet (can you do that...
I don't have YouTube.
I'd push it to a G-06.
Now THAT would be interesting! A coin in a PO-01 slab with a DETAILS label.
I've seen coins like yours "body bagged" because the black toning on the obverse could be hiding problems. By "body bagged" I mean not even put in...
If you want to, go ahead. But it will cost you more that the coin is worth.
Yeh, proofs and DMPL's are a real pain to photograph. I think Goodman's book suggests axial lighting. I cobbled up an axial lighting setup but it...
