Thanks, that's a good idea to do it earlier than Dec. Kinda good timing actually because most people do their shopping right after Thanksgiving on...
Just a reminder to all... in the last two years I used the gift recipient's CT username for the name on the shipping label to make it more-or-less...
I'm in. Thanks!
It's certainly not a lack luster coin to my eyes though. :)
MS-63
I can see it getting a straight grade, but at most MS-63. I see a lot of noise on the left side of the obverse, and to the right of the bust....
This'll be my third year, too - I just don't want to forget to sign up lol. Thanks for the previous years, Kirk!
Based on one of those sites, it looks like it's a Wu Chu coin. There doesn't seem to be a way to narrow the coin down further, given the info in...
I got one of these Chinese coins that came with a different coin I purchased. Can anyone please confirm what this is? I believe that it may be a...
Seeing the coin in person, it's most definitely a cleaning job. The hit isn't too severe as the picture denotes. But yeah, no underlying luster,...
Do you think that this 1893 Isabella quarter will grade, given the hit on the reverse under "BOARD"? It definitely looks like a gouge but I'm...
Yeah I don't see an FG from those pics. I'd find out if it's a common issue for that year (i.e. as Seattlite86 said about the grease filled),...
Right now, I religiously collect by theme: turtle ships. As mainly a type collector, I'll collect one of a series. As a series, I'll collect...
But what about hand antiquing say, half the mintage of a given circulation type? So, let's say half of the 2019 circ strike ASEs are given an...
So it's all part of the process that determines damage or not. Now I'm wondering what the TPGs will do if one of the mints go beyond antique...
What if the manufacturer made multiple versions, one as-is, another with a hole in it for a necklace, etc.? And, it looks like NGC didn't make a...
This one is quite a bit off topic, but shouldn't this be Details-Holed? Yes, the manufacturer probably created the hole, but I mean, it's...
So any of my Poor grade cents that I turn into those flattened railroad cents are now MS-70 (possibly)! lol
So the coin posted above (and below as well) has some obvious wear beyond AU-50, whether it was on the original coin-planchet, or the final...
That's interesting. So, let's say hypothetically that all low grade, late die state 1950 Wheat cents were all melted, and only high grade, early...
Separate names with a comma.
