I’m stuck between the SBA dollar and the Eunice Shriver coin. And while the Effigy Mounds quarter isn’t the best design by a long shot, I can’t...
This one’s probably my favorite because it closed out my large diameter capped bust quarter date set (or at least until I blow my money on an...
If you’re looking through pictures to improve your grading skills, consider looking at pictures of detail grade coins also to become better at...
There’s a post in this thread that contains the color progression chart that @BadThad was aluding to....
I received the Early United States Dimes book, and it looks great from what I’ve read in it so far. It may have been elementary school aged when I...
Very nice half dollar. I like the die crack going through the date and the stars on the left of the obverse.
Very nice coins. I think my favorites are still the 1842-D $5 and the peacock token.
“...don’t ask us for dates for we are not in the fruit business” I love this. I wish more advertisements today had this kind of wit.
Very nicely matched set. Congratulations!
The 2008 bust quarter book by Steve Tompkins notes that in the 1810s and 1820s, Spain was losing control of its colonies in the Western...
Very nice original look. I’ll say XF40.

I wonder if the same person engraved the 1817 15 star large cent and the 1832 12 star half eagle. Definitely a neat variety.
I agree with most of what’s been posted already, though they do have one special holder option that I find pretty cool (assuming it doesn’t...
I think I’d go XF details, improperly cleaned. It’s a really cool coin with all of the cracks/cuds/etc. on it.
That coin certainly had an interesting life. For how much they’re asking though, I’d save a few more thousand dollars and buy a non-mutilated AG or G.

I agree that it’s probably a scratch/damage. As for grade, I think it would grade VF details, scratched. The TPGs give more leniency for this...
I think XF neighborhood is good. That’s a very nice quarter (especially so with the neat pedigree).
In the words of a bunch of different Star Wars characters, “I have a bad feeling about this.” Something about it says “modern day China” more than...
