F15, In my experience they don't like weakness in LIBERTY for VF grades. That said, the 1909-O clearly looks VF to me.
Looks GEM BU FS to me, which is to say MS65 5FS. The luster looks dynamite, and the coin is pretty clean but there are some small marks on the...
MS64
I thought the same as you, until I sent the photo to another Jefferson Nickel enthusiast who showed me a half a dozen of these that he has where...
This analysis is spot on, and since I owned all three, I can tell you that the other obverse toner was the best of the three. In fact, it is the...
I have to admit, you guys did pretty good on this one. I was cracking out a coin that got hosed on the grade, and in the process, the slab opened...
This would be the logical next step, to compare the coin to the NGC photo to see if you can determine whether the coin has been switched.
If you suspect that the coin has been switched, what would be your next to step to try to confirm your suspicion?
The abrasions on the cheek, jaw, and base of the bust are remnant planchet flaws and don't affect the grade. My grade for the coin is MS66. An...
I will say this, that is the beginning of the journey, not the end.
Can anyone guess what is wrong with this 1947-D NGC MS65 5FS Jefferson Nickel? [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] Please submit your guesses in the...
Collecting toned Morgan Dollars is expensive and I don't have the funds to collect what I would want in that arena. The price of this coin is...
Sometimes a better coin just comes along. My avatar has been my 1939-D Rev40 for my registry set for 15 years. [IMG] But earlier this year I...
I remember that coin, dynamite eye appeal as were most of the Great Falls Morgan Dollars. [IMG] I miss my toned Morgan collection.
Cool thread, and I feel the need to add that while in stage E or F, if you actually do start selling, be careful. People always discuss the...
I am so dreading the phone call because the people who answer the phone have almost no coin knowledge.
I am getting pretty good at attributing these RPMs but unfortunately I didn't post this one before I submitted the coin. Why unfortunate you ask?...
It has been awhile but I finally found another submission worthy Jefferson War Nickel RPM. I cherrypicked this one off of eBay for $25 and I...
I think the black spots on the reverse limit the grade to PR66. That said, I have absolutely zero experience grading foreign matte proof coins.
