I will say that some dealers out there are paying a little over face for original uncirculated rolls of Lincoln cents from the 60s and early 70s,...
I agree with Doug....a tooled cast copy.
Nice finds. Thanks for the tip.
Lol.....I have felt that way before. Sometimes, I will go through a period of just reporting every bad auction that I can find.
Without being in support or against it, I will say that I think the problem with "gradeflation" is worse than many realize. In some series, like...
They just aren't out there. Any of the ones that show up on Teletrade or Heritage are usually in ANACS problem holders. By the way, nice...
You made a nice buy for $.52. The coin is worth between $.80 and $1. Way to go!
Great thread and good discussion!
If Les Fox is involved, I'm sure we will see a CAC price guide published with all the information about 5 and 10 year price projections and how...
Nice detective work and a great Photoshop display Daniel! This thread is a good lesson to all.
Yep, that's the 12.
Seems like problem-free, mid grade 1874s don't show up very often at auctions by checking Teletrade and Heritgage. I like the coin as an XF-45...
I would call it a Fine-15 by grading the obverse and accounting for the reverse striking weakness.
I'll say AU 53. Some rub and lots of bagmarks.
Tamper proof was how they referred to the sticker. But who knows. I'm not personally planning on using them. I will rely on my own knowledge...
No. My understanding is that the coin already has to be graded and that they are verifying the grade on the holder. They are starting by just...
No, they keep the coin and you get fair market value for the piece. They buy the coin back from you. That doesn't matter if Sear isn't willing...
I could probably contribute a small writeup providing the diagnostics of the Matte Proof Lincolns from 1909-1916.
The 1877s were incredible. It was a huge collection that had been donated. It was kind of a mix between an accumulation and a collection, with...
I just wanted to see what everybody here thought of the new CAC consortium that is debuting soon. If you haven't heard, they are a group of...
