Please provide a link? I believe hat you are misconstruing what the change will be and that insurance coverage will become mandatory (as opposed...
I don't usually look at those areas for signs of wear - I look at Liberty's breasts and on her thigh, as well as the eagle's breast and upper left...
You are mistaking striking weakness for wear. It's often difficult to tell the difference, but other areas and attributes of the coin can serve as...
My observations are different with respect to NGC vs. PCGS grading of Walkers.
The coin does not look mirror-like/prooflike in the images, and thankfully, it doesn't look polished. It's probably been lightly cleaned, but...
Many Proof coins can be lightly circulated (for example to AU or XF condition) and still recognizable as Proofs. However, if one has been...
Paul, for me, both sets of images appear too light/bright to allow for a good inspection of the surfaces. However, I'm still at MS65 minimum (with...
The second coin looks original to me, and I have no question about its authenticity.
It looks AT to me.
Prices of $20 Saints are often affected to some extent by the price of gold bullion. However, different grades can be affected to varying degrees....
The images don't allow for a good look at the coin's surfaces, but I'll guess MS65. I believe that respondents who graded it low grade MS or AU...

Different people have different opinions on the subject. Some of those opinions are based on a great deal of knowledge and experience and others...
It looks as if it has XF details, but has been polished (or harshly cleaned). As such, it is probably "worth" about what it sold for. But, for...
If so, and you have a contact phone number, please send me a private message. Thanks.
It looks like a nice 65 to me. If there aren't any flaws of consequence which aren't apparent in the images, an MS66 wouldn't surprise me.
You say the coin is "obviously circulated" because you know its history. A coin which has been in circulation very briefly, can easily appear to...
I agree completely. We don't know anything about the condition of the coins at this point, so we don't know their values. Let's work on providing...
Doug, I like that expression - "rough handling" and it would have been a heck of a lot easier to have just written that, instead of what I did.:o
It seems to me that hairlines can be seen in many different sizes and/or directions. Regarding precisely what distinguishes a scratch from a...
