I was checking up on one of my submissions to NGC and it's on the "Grading/Quality Control" phase. NGC describes this phase as when: Coins are...
Ok, I tried the razors but with more elbow grease, while rocking it back and forth every which way. That works, though the capsule is not...
I have my technique down for Air-tites and newer government capsules, which I can open fairly easily now with the right tools. But, the older...
To expand on what Conder101 said, what I like to do is locate various die markers. Specifically, if any remnant of the last two date digits exist,...
Well, here they are below. I thought the 1S was relatively better than the 1/2C, but some of the others are a pleasant surprise. Irish coins seem...
It looks like post mint damage (PMD).
That looks very proof / proof-like!
The grades are in! Any more guesses (minus the '66 Irish Uprising - that one wasn't submitted)?

Does anyone know what is going on along the bottom rim area of this 1942 Type 2 Jefferson proof nickel? It looks like a series of tooling marks,...
Assuming that the coin below checks out condition-wise, minus any problems, what would you grade it (two images below of same coin)? Thanks in...
You all may not believe this... maybe the weekend started a day earlier for the grader. [ATTACH]
I found this one for sale and I'm wondering what you all think the PCGS slabbed grade is (or should be). Thanks in advance! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is going a bit off on a tangent... I have an idea of how the US Mint can stimulate numismatic interest among current and prospective...
I sent a single side-only error World note in and it has no grade despite having a status of "Finalized/Imaged/Shipped" (screenshot below). The...
