MS66 no FS. The cut between pillars 3 and 4, and the bridging in the same area preclude FS based on those pics.
65, shot at star, but I voted no star. NGC is stingy with stars. ;)
That 1793 Norwich is the nicest of the bunch. :cool:
A couple new ultra-modern world coins with horses. One is a classic design revisited... [IMG] The second is an ultra-modern Royal Canadian...
Just a few new horses from the second half of 2015. In order of acquisition. :D [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
@britannia40 I'm not sure if your comments are pointed at me or another poster in this thread, but I actually was pointing out that I liked your...
I wouldn't have surmised that coin was "mint state" as you say. Was the quality of production of these pretty poor? And, you say scarce -- as...
I think you're confusing what you call "lax US standards" with what is actually a completely different grading standard. Canadian and US...
Yes, it means old holder. More commonly the term "No Line Fattie" is used to describe old NGC holders -- before they added a seam line between...

Below are a couple recent purchases: 1) Two months ago I found a lovely jeton on eBay that drew me in. I particularly loved the old oak being...
I still think it looks cleaned on the obverse. Good luck.

Well, the good part is that you got what you paid for -- $17 is a pretty cheap education...and it does "work" -- just not very well.
NGC has graded and slabbed more than 30 million coins. Counting the one pictured in this thread, I have seen probably 10 or 20 even remotely...
Because there are no fake unslabbed coins? lol :rolleyes:
Why on earth would you buy bank boxes of 2015 cents? They are each worth (surprise) one cent -- and they are heavy as heck when hoarded by the...
If you have a relationship with a dealer who submits regularly (i.e., you buy from his store on a semi-regular basis), they will often submit...
