Coins in WCG holders should be treated as if they are uncertified. Most of the ones I have seen images of have been so badly over-graded as to...
If 1877 were a common date and not a valuable one, would you be asking if that coin could be an 1877? I bet not. Surely, even though you can't...
I think in front of Liberty's face and inside the wreath above the word DOLLAR?
Granted, your first post didn't mention the end of coin collecting due to counterfeits - Leadfoot didn't say YOURS did. He did, however, correctly...
There are only two on the NGC Census Report (PCGS doesn't use the designation). I would have guessed the number would be higher, as it seems like...
My thought is that Leadfoot did a very fine job of directly addressing your original post. As for your 6 point prediction, I think you did...
But the grading label says AU deatils (not XF).;)
You might find a few, though I hope you wont spend too much time looking. But my pont is that even if you do, I believe that there will be more...
Let's see an XF 45 with the detail of the coin at the top of this thread, please? If you show us one, I'll find two more that are graded AU.;)
I think I see the typically found clashed dies on it, and I have yet to see a counterfeit with that feature. I can't guarantee that there aren't...
It looks to me as if it has AU details. Here is an NGC AU50 to compare it to: [IMG] [IMG]
The bottom line is that often, you can't tell. However, there are clues to look for, a number of which have been posted here. Edited to add:...
That is true, but to my knowledge, the industry hasn't faced anything close to what is going on today. And sadly, the reliance upon certification...
In that condition, I don't think the 1913-D is worth anywhere close to $100. Nor do I think it's worth the fees try to have it conserved. But it's...
Yes, it's counterfeit. Sorry.
NGC does offer that, though I am currently getting a server error message when I try to acess certain links on their site.
I am strongly biased against high production moderns which are apt to be graded very high on average and which selll for large premiums over their...
For the most part, I don't follow the populations and prices. So don't sell yourself short here. Keep in mind, though, even though PCGS doesn't...
Not so fast there, buster. :hail:Why do you feel that the PL designation is meaningful?
There are no legitimately PL Saints (of the "real" type) that I am aware of.;) That said, NGC has graded a single Saint (a 1922-S) PL and I...
Separate names with a comma.
