Is there any chance that he wanted people to haggle with him? From what I've seen, antique Dealers generally have a 10% "courtesy" discount for...
Guys, picked this up for $40 recently and the surface has me puzzled. I don't see any traces of cleaning, but the coin appears to be somewhere...
Tend to agree. Hard to enjoy even a key date if one side is so drastically poorer. Avoided the coin, but it made me think a bit...
How do you guys typically grade a coin that has an AG/G obverse (honest wear) and with a solid F reverse? Supposing it depends on if you are...
Suppose it could be wishful thinking, but I see doubling to the right on the first 9 and the 2.
I know.. anytime someone posts "MD or DD?" it is always MD. Still, I have a hard time telling if it is flat shelf or rounded.. :) Thoughts?...

I need to let my depression settle before I decide to try at PCGS or send to CAC. :) The good news is that I really like the job NCS did on it....
Perhaps getting it conserved hurt the grade too as it makes marks and the weak spot on the hair show more. Just saw this PCGS MS64 on ebay with...

Took my 3 year old with me to the coin shop while I looked at bid boards. They have a nice box of junk buffalo/wheaties/etc.. for kids to look...
Well, it showed up as Finalized/Shipped and a bit lower than I expected (62 vs 65+). Have to wait for the snail to bring it back so I can see...
Looks like I rolled the dice and lost big. Sent it to NCS and NGC. Webstatus says that it was graded a 62. Still my most valuable Mercury dime...
I sent in a Mercury dime through NCS to NGC as "Express" tier that should grade at a high level. After almost two weeks at NCS, it transitioned...
Agree with everything posted. That is exactly the kind of thing I like to do with my 7 year old. Perhaps there's someone who would like to learn...
This was the first large cent I ever bought. Think it was $5. You don't see that it is shaped like a cup as well as the holes and polishing....
Just got mine and hooked it up. Didn't use the driver disc. Auto-recognized and from "my computer" was able to take photos. Very sharp....
