PCGS and NGC don't have the proof die reverse as a variety on the Buffalo nickels, nor do they have the proof die 1892 obverse on 1893 for the...
I'm not sure where to send these coins off to. Most of these are going to be flipped so that I can purchase other coins for upgrade purposes or...
Yeah, I bought it for less than that range though :) So no chance that it's a PR-67? It's hard to see what's going on with all that brown haze....
Yeah I was thinking, isn't a PL a PL a PL?... No matter how one looks at it, a PL can be objectively measured. I may just submit this and write a...
It sounded like a no unless it's a superbly proof-like, but that would be more of an exception.
OK everyone. I can say definitively that the better coin of the two is... #2! The difference in detail is staggering, both between the two coins...
I was able to get a response from a VP at PCGS. Since there's no precedent for a 1922 Peace Dollar (or any year) in PL, it's "not likely". So...
FYI in case anyone was wondering, PCGS just told me that the grade is guaranteed. So if I were to get it restored and it downgrades, they'll...
The cut off the eagle's tail! Why? And I'm not a fan of the plain edge. I really like the font of "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", but it needs better...
Do you think that PL is possible? I don't think I've seen a 1922 Peace dollar this mirrored. Assuming of course that it's not a Details grade....
I'd submit it if it's PL. In-person, I can see that it passes the PL test, but maybe not in every single mm of the surface.
Yeah that's a good point about the dulling effect of dip. Maybe the seller lightly dipped this one. If I submit this one, it'll probably come back...
Well in the meantime, I left the coin in an acetone bath. Here are the photos of the coin while taking advantage of the daylight, diffused...
Do you think that the mirroring effect came from the dip that the seller used? How do you remove that spot?
Another pic, taken through a flip and with a USB microscope this time. The scratches seem to stop at the date relief. I believe that the long...
Here's a better pic of what I see. The lines go underneath the devices, namely diagonally through the "V", and horizontally through the last "T"...
I think that the scratches are die polishes (maybe?). Do you think they're scratches or die polish marks? It's hard to tell if those marks are in...
There are exceptions though. If it's a homogeneous product with many, many items already available, then it's best to bid the competitive price at...
The Nash Equilibrium bidding strategy for a Second Price auction is to bid your maximum price at the last few seconds. It also minimizes the...
Close with the grade, but yes, it's a Broken Back. The highest ever graded! :D
