Oh I haven't submitted it in to NGC yet. But I like to ask these questions well in advance to see if there's any doubt if I shouldn't or not....
Here's the coin below. I've seen this dark ring before on other old coins... Is it a carbon "ring" as opposed to a carbon spot? But, it's...
Mine's so hard lol.... this person has a lot of different coins... and many even for sale... So I got what this person generally seems to like,...
I tried to take a clear pic with the microscope, but these are the best I could do. There looks to be a near-vertical "cud" that goes through the...
Can you guess the grade on this 1881-S Morgan Dollar? Is it a semi-cameo (if that's [un]officially a thing)? The "S" MM is a bit peculiar, too....
Thanks for doing this @Kirkuleez! I'm in, PM sent! And, one more thing... will you try and match folks from the same country / region with one...
Off the top of my head, the two that I really like are the 1776 Mexico FM 8 Reales w/ a British C/S, and a Peru 1 Sol w/ a Guatemala C/S. Both are...
I submitted a coin to NGC and the graders suggested that I get it sent to NCS for conservation. So, I agreed and the grade online shows a note of...

Thanks for that info - it'll help me to ID these coins, as I collect these, too, obviously. :) Anyway, I believe that the one I have is a proof...
Nice coin, that's the one I originally wanted! But, the one I have is the much smaller 22mm sovereign version. The crown version that you have is...
I've been trying to find the specific KM # and spec info (e.g. purity) on this proof strike coin that I recently acquired. It's a silver coin that...
Here's the same 1914 Bavaria 5 Mark coin by someone with more capable camera skills. The second image is of my "cartwheel proof" 1964 Washington...
Yeah, I have some "cartwheel" proofs, in which they are proof coins yet they have a strong cartwheel luster. The dies were probably used heavily...
Could it qualify as proof-like? The mirrored fields are much, much more prominent than what's shown in my photos. I'm thinking of sending these in...
I recently acquired two German State coins, as shown below. They both appear to have a mirrored fields and a cartwheel luster. The devices also...
No acetone bath, and you're probably right - that green residue is an issue, probably from its holder. I'm thinking VF-30 or a little higher, too;...
Can you guess the grade for this 1869 Spain 2 Pesetas? It's a "lower" grade coin, as many of the high points are worn. But, the details are...
