Books and images certainly can help, but are no substitute for hands-on experience. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a coin show and...
What happened with the other two?
No, it is not worth the asking price. You should be able to get a PCGS or NGC certified MS63 for less than that, and there is no assurance that...
As Paul mentioned, I am not Greattoning. I would not post my own coin if it were currently up for sale on Ebay. And I agree with his estimate of...
While we're on the subject of premiums for toned coins, here is a beautiful NGC MS65 star, common date Morgan up for sale on Ebay. With about four...
I'm not familiar with that reference, nor was I offended.
I'll go a step further. Even validating the serial number doesn't cut it these days, since, in addition to coins, so many of the slabs and grading...
The coin looks genuine, AU and, at the very least, dipped (possibly/probably cleaned more harshly than that). Coins from that era are virtually...
""Any comments?" Yes, your thread title is needlessly and far too vague. Why not let people know what the thread is about, without having to open...

It looks genuine and cleaned to me.
The lighter areas at the reverse wreath look a bit odd, but I am not convinced that the coin has been cleaned. The rest of it looks perfectly...
PR65's do not sell for the prices listed in that magazine. If you want to stay under $1000, you will need to buy one that grades 64 or lower.
The Roosevelt Dime certianly looks natural to me.
From what I saw at Coinfest last year, it does not strike me as the kind of show that a bullion buyer would attend for that purpose.
In reply to your five points above: 1) People claim that coins can be artificially toned to look like that, but I don't believe it. Of course we...
Please learn about grading and specific characteristics of the individual issues within the series, before spending money on them. Overall, I...
I viewed the coin in hand yesterday and think it is exquisite. The bottom line is that each of us has our own perception of beauty and limit as...
