Tokens aren't much different to grade than a US coin. You look for the same rubs on the high points, hairlines, rim dings and surface issues that...
I bet that was a dealer saying we don't want the folder of state quarters, you might as well spend em.
Thanks Steve! LOL, It's usually Beer and Pizza or Steaks and Beer. Not both under the same roof.
So, this one is also a what would you grade it. Personally, I think that they got this one right. It's another CO token. Good for 25C....
Hey, @ZoidMeister I was in Rocky Mountain Coin the other day. The owner said that he had made 1000 of the RMC tokens. They used to randomly give...
Looks like there is some doubling to the tail feathers. The photos just aren't clear enough. I would put this at MS63.
When rotated it has a slight amount of high point flatness, it does not stand out. When you take a closer look it has a scratch across the I in...
Well I think that maybe out of the slab it gets put into that slider category today. I just don't see a 65 grade. I didn't have to pay up so IMO,...

Lets see a close up of the back leg. I am not positive on authenticity either. The MM look and position is close, but looks off. I think it is...
It's a deteriorated die IMO. Notice the shelf like doubling and extra thickness on the numerals in the date. Yes, there might be RPM's that aren't...
Definitely die deterioration. Look to the other devices on the coin, if they show the same type of doubling then it is not an RPM. Clad dimes are...

Here is the third side. [ATTACH]
I was more speaking of basement slabs, not problem coins. As we well know basement slabs sell for a fraction of the price of a top TPG. When there...
If only to resell? I would say that if the slab is causing problems then yes crack it. I have passed on coins in slabs only to find it in a flip...
Either way I think that it is out of my price range. Maybe under a grand or about 1250. Here is a little write up in coin world 2014. Lincoln cent...
