I'd suggest picking up a copy of The "Red Book", officially called A Guidebook of United States Coins. It is a good, affordable general reference...
Many people mistakenly think that coins are valuable merely because they are old. Often, however, value is more dependent upon condition, than it...
Traci, those two Morgans are much better than Fine (which would have considerably more wear). They are at least XF. The coins are worth...
My best guess from those (difficult to read) images is AU55-58. Liberty's cheek and the eagle's breast both appear as if they might have light wear.
1) I didn't see where anyone, including CAC, said collectors should buy coins they don't like. 2) Your hopes about anyone who collects being able...
They already decline to sticker coins that they consider to be of low quality for the assigned grade. And they also already award gold (instead of...
I see little wear on the obverse and am guessing that most of the weakness on the reverse is strike.
That's the thing - we don't know what we don't know until we know.;) And I suspect that some collectors are happier, simply not knowing what they...
I attend about 15 major shows per year and look at what's in dealer show cases and boxes. I also view approximately the same number of major coin...
As the image was loading, as soon a I saw the top of Liberty's head, I knew it had to be a 1917.
Since no one has answered the question posed, yet....it looks XF (edited from AU) to me.
CAC has been around for about a year and a half now and I haven't seen any indication of that, whatsoever.
CAC has detected problems that I, NGC and PCGS have missed. I have heard the same thing from a number of extremely sharp/highly advanced...
I agree with that line of thinking. Particularly with lower value coins, at a certain point, financially (and for that matter, emotionally), it's...
I don't blame you in the least. Now, as for the "well respected" part - that depends largely on his cash flow.;)
:secret: OK, so I just confirmed who the seller is.... I checked a few of the listings/images and saw the same label on the back of each coin...
Three different graders could have each assigned an AU58 grade - they don't typically take an average. And perhaps if you saw it in person you...
Those are certainly fair points as far as I'm concerned. But the fact that you and I would do things differently doesn't say anything about the...
I have filled in approximate values for some of the items below, next to your original listings.
The coin looks to be lightly circulated, its condition being AU (almost uncirculated). As such, it's probably worth in the $15-$18 range.
