A wiser man once commented of himself "We think a thousand words a day, write em down on a piece of paper, light fire to them and watch them...
The suspicion or perception of a self-slabber might be there, but that is not the same as the reality of it. I choose to believe that David Hall...
In order to make sure there is no confusion due to the above post...The seller in question is not a novice coin dealer. He is one of the more...
Based on what I can see in the images, my guess would be MS65RB or possibly MS66RB. Hopefully you aren't going to spend money to have it graded.
You CAN go wrong for $5, if the same items can be bought elsewhere for 50% or less of that price. And you could still "like what you got", just at...
I think you're doing a lot of speculating, on multiple levels. And badly over-estimating the value of the coin in that condition. I will go with...
I'm only familiar with the 8 point rarity scale, like you are. However, apparently there is a different scale that goes up to R-9, at least with...
That looks like mint-made die polishing to me, and I have seen it on other 1916 pattern Walkers. I do not think that it is cleaning.
Thanks for the information, Paddy.
For the estimated rarity, see the description in my previous post.;) I'm guessing it's about a $6000-$7000 coin, but they appear infrequently and...
Here's a J-815 and the description from the sale it appeared in: "1870 H10C Half Dime, Judd-815, Pollock-904, Low R.7, PR64 NGC.</I> William...
Presumably, he is talking about a pattern coin, the design of which was never adopted for our coinage. Although it would have been designed by...
I strongly suspect that you are correct.;)
Some of the coins and images will allow for identification, but others will not. One particular area of concern to me is high grade modern coinage...
To whom are you referring? The Baltimore part makes me think Louis Eliasberg, but his coins were sold via public auction. To my knowledge, it is...
I didn't think he was hoping for a 65 because he said "I say ms63 too. Ive bought coins that looked like that and sent some to PCGS." That sounds...
Curiously, what were the date and grade and which auction was it in? I ask, because $250,000 sounds too high for a Proof $5 Indian (unless it was...
Why would you submit a coin like that for grading? Even if it were to come back 64 (which I don't think this one will) the difference in value...
There are a lot of classic silver commemorative collectors. But there are also large quantities of many of the designs/types available, and most...
The abrasions on the face/cheek look pretty bad to me. I'd be very surprised if the coin is better than MS63, and a MS62 wouldn't surprise me in...
