better photos in better lighting would help. I'm guessing rim ding. There are striations in the damaged surface consistent with the coin being...
hate to suggest this, but see if a magnet grabs it...I got a pile of fakes a couple years ago (I did not pay for them). Took them to a show, put...
I do not have the Breen catalog which shows the various die pairings for this coin. If anyone reading this has the book, see if there is a...
This looks like a VF Details/Cleaned VAM-6. The cleaning is not the "scrubbed" variety. It is the complete loss of patina and dull...

I trade junk 90% silver, and buy/sell it by weight. 2-3% weight loss is typical for well-circulated junk. I bought $100 face value of beat...
It's the automatic bidding. If I put in a $5000 bid right now, it would register, if at all, at lowest incremental $50 bump necessary to be the...
better pix would help. but I can see noise in the open field in front of lady's face. I say 2, with a chance of 3. and $400 is a good price
it's a thick die crack or a small die gouge. not a die break. might be a lonely plating blister...but these things tend to appear in clusters
All of the markers seemed to be there. My only question was position of mint mark, which was hard to determine because of tilt of photos. NICE!!
Final Note: If you run into a cutting error like my note, first check the serial. if it starts with a high number, like 98 or 99, is was issued...
didn't pay anything. sent it to PCGSC for a coin dealer buddy who does not do a lot of paper. I hope the BEP maintained records on the handful of...
I may have found the answer. This info is specific to the 1995 $2 bill production. http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f1995_b.html "In...
help me. The F* sheets to which you refer are in the F20000001* to F2200009999* range. My bill, and your sheet, are not in that range. They are...
Well....Dang! Your note and my note came from the same run of 128,000. These are tagged as "circulation production star notes." The bills...
pretty cool find. I have the latest edition of Bart's Paper Money Errors book, but this particular bill is not included. at PCGSC now. expect...
I should have this one back from PCGSC in a couple weeks. When I first got it, my immediate thought was that someone took a sheet of $2 bills...
I have Shull and Friedberg for CSA notes, Ball and Criswell for CSA bonds.
ass-backwards/ugliest coins in US history, IMHO, and difficult to grade until you've handled a few thousand of them (and I have NOT).
there is a difference between weak strikes/worn dies and wear. Lady's hair suggests an XF45 or so, but not in this particular coin. Some of the...
