Thanks for the grade analysis everyone! I'll be subtracting one from each of the grades. This'll be submitted to NGC on my next batch so I'll...
I picked up a couple of Braided Hair cents and although they're not in the best shape, they're still neat as they're my first (my focus has been...
OK, this comes from NGC's research director and NGC's Mint Error attributor (David Camire) - they're either struck on a "type 1 blank" or a "type...
I see that a few are on eBay and are selling for a few $$. I guess such a thing would spark interest from counterfeiters.
Nice write-up. I think the centered text makes it a bit difficult to read compared to left-justified text. Content-wise, it's informative. But,...

Ah I see - nice article! So it was supposed to be more-or-less concealed by the designers. Barber's initial on the Columbian's obverse is simply...

Many of you already know that the 1909 VDB cent was controversial due to the prominent appearance of Victor D. Brenner's "VDB" initials. It seems...
I'd go for how the coin looks and the price you paid for them over getting matching slabs. You could always cross them over to PCGS, but that...
Welcome to the forum! I'm a fan of high grade (problem-free) silver classic coins, so I'd say definitely to the Barber. I myself am looking for a...

The reverse of that quarter looks pretty cool! If time isn't that much of a factor, then I'd wait to get some more coins, and submit them to NGC...
I'm a type collector but if it's a small series then maybe. I wouldn't mind collecting all FS war nickels.
This is fresh in my mind since I submitted coins recently and I'm about to submit another batch to NGC. Here's an example with your inputs. NGC...
