My best guess is O-116. I’m not 100% sure, mostly because the bottom arrowhead on this coin isn’t quite the same shape as NGC’s example, but that...
Ooh, very nice. I’ll wager AU58.
It appears to be the BB-27/B-5 variety. So that’s a good sign for it, but it could also mean it is a cast replica (edit: or a replica made by...
That is pretty neat! Can you imagine if it sat on a page with a vulgar word or phrase and it toned onto the coin? :p
I am also suspicious on account of the mintmark’s serifs not being parallel to each other.
I’d say it has Fine details, but got silently net graded for the corrosion and rim ding to a VG10. So VG10 is my guess.
At least they used nice cursive writing when they autographed it. :smuggrin: In all seriousness though, that is pretty scary and a good thing to...
The ANA recently posted this video of the Harry W. Bass Jr. gold coin collection. It also has a couple minutes devoted to his patterns at the end....
Oh boy, these are always fun to attempt to grade. I’m pretty sure I see hairlines in the reverse, and I’m having trouble seeing wear so I’ll wager...
I agree with O-105 on account of the T/I relationship on the reverse: http://bustieguide.com/overton.php?d=1829
I would be inclined to take the lower graded coin without the hole. My justification for this would be when I look at the coin, if it's lower...
I like it. Sure, it could be better, but it could also be a lot worse.
I believe the back leg is supposed to appear "moth-eaten" on genuine coins... I'm not seeing that on this one.
Obviously this is just one data point (and in a different state to boot), but my local coin club has done a small (~30 dealers) annual coin show...
I agree that it's a fake as evidenced by the date.
Every time I look at the reverse of these medals I think it looks like the eagle has mites or some other bugs falling out of its wings.
Just from a cursory look at the images you provided it doesn't appear to have any noteworthy damage. Hopefully the online database is incorrect!
I guess I'll feel a little differently when I pack my lunch tomorrow morning knowing that a star died in a supernova billions of years ago to...
AU50? Very nice coin whatever the grade is.
My gut says artificial unfortunately....
