Oh... this is O-106, r.1. There are two diagnostics. Check out the photos below, with cute little orange thingies. OBVERSE: Look closely at Star...
Here's another reason I wanted to post this particular coin : Many folks feel comfortable only with PCGS or NGC slabs. I think that's OK... for...
Ding ding ding ! To me, that's the best answer. As this slab shot shows, it's TPG graded AU58. I feel that's a fair grade. However, as we've...
I knew this was a tough attribution from the full size photos, but I wanted to give our many eagle-eye sharpies first shot. Here are some zoom...
Well, I just thought I would post up one of my favorite coin types... a Capped Bust Half. Attribution and grading opinions welcomed. Enjoy !

Agreed. There is something much worse than giving an erroneous answer - condemning them for a simple mistake, especially since the premise of the...
Interesting quote : "If the coins are declared Treasure, they will become Crown property and will be valued." In other words, the British...
Agreed. Circulation patina can bring out the contrast, which compensates for the weakly struck legends. OP is a case in point. Since even an MS...
FYI - that vista is one of the most famous in the Grand Canyon. It's unforgettable and unmistakable. It's Nankoweap, a major delta formed by...
That seems about right; I think the ANA Grading Standards would call this coin VG10, maybe F12. Hard to say without better photos.
The good news - lots of luster, nice color. Gotta love it. The bad news - since some detail is missing, either it's a soft strike or it's a slider...
