Consider substituting "should be" for "is" :D
I tend to agree with the other guys - XF details, surface "issues", net VF. This one is certainly not mint state, and no one would expect MS for...
What a fabulous venue for a coin show ! How many tables ? Does anyone do a show at the old Carson City mint building ? Is that building still...
If, by premium, you mean a higher price, then the answer is no. MS62s usually sell for more than AU58. Also... don't lump MS60 in the same group...
Be careful with absolute statements. The name of this thread is "So wait.. AU58 > Ms 60/62?". A better statement is AU58 is sometimes better...
In a recent Heritage auction, I was looking closely at Capped Bust quarters. There were several 1819 Large 9 (Browning-2) 25c in grades ranging...
Lehigh's notion of AU64 makes a great deal of sense. In fact, I see no reason why one would stop at 64 for an AU coin.
One of the prime reasons uncirculated coins are graded MS60 is bagginess. Here's one way to think about it - an MS60 is (supposedly) the worst...
Personally, I haven't had that problem. Maybe I don't understand exactly what you're doing. I'm doing pretty basic stuff in Word then pasting into...
Certain series will always be popular, and IHCs will always be one of the leaders. There are still people around who remember them in...
Have you considered Air-Tites ? They're a good choice for those who don't like slabs. In addition, a low-humidity environment is vitally...
It's one of the Hot 100, so it's popular and maybe spendy. I'm no authority on Morgan VAMs, but it's easy enough to research prices for those so...
It's all about their condition. Low grade "V" nickels go for about a buck or so on The Bay. Greysheet says "V" nickel type in G4 is $6... where...
Noyes says "double center dot, second above right" i.e. a smaller dot to the NE of the main one. Hard to say if that + fuzzy photography +...
If it's genuine (which I believe it is), it's definitely N-4 (R.2). 1834s are easier to attribute than some other years. In addition to the...
That's commonly true, but not always. 1) There are examples of very low mintage coins with die cracks. A classic example : proof 1833 half...
Looks like an air-tite. And I'm with LD... the first thing I thought was "not original color". But hey... who knows ? Post up when you get the...
There's definately a mystique to those Carson City coins... particularly the Morgans.
Quite likely - depends on the coin. And the direction of the wind. :whistle: :rolleyes:
Come to think of it... seems like most of the torn up holograms I've seen were on NGC slabs. I could be mistaken.
