Yes. VAM 6. Very nice AU. 94-Os are pancakes, typically, so you can't just look at hair detail. You should do well on this one. These are...
Looks real. Putting coins in acrylic as gifts was a big thing when the Treasury hoard was released in the early 60s. It was probably buffed up a...
C4/C3, Slanted date, O set right, but not VAM 38. Try VAM 46. The full-coin pictures are bad, but the mint mark and date positions might be...
The threepence (S-2565) is about 18 mm, but much lighter. This looks like a faithful copy of that coin, down to the correct mint mark. The other...
Let's start over. First of all, you did some homework, since you are looking at the cost-benefit of doing this. Your question as to whether you...
Get a proper monocle! Gold rimmed, with a chain attached to your pocket. It will instantly confer upon you an air of class, sophistication, and...
Me, too. On a bright, green lanyard (from Provident Metals) so I can easily find it. I can see it on my desk right now, actually.
The left obverse field bothers me, but the coin looks uncirculated otherwise. Can't be certain from pictures, though.
Looks like some good 7070 stuff.

Sort of. A statement like, "This coin didn't grade because there is a scratch across the cheek that is too severe," is an opinion, but it...
NGC and PCGS will not give detailed explanations of grading decisions as part of their service. I don't think ANACS will, either, and if ICG does,...
From the photo, we can't tell the nature of the line across the cheek. It might be a raised die polishing line, it might be a very fine hairline...
The 1921 "Zerbe" coins are no longer believed to have been special strikes. They were specially selected business strikes. As such, a mintage...
If I'm being generous, zero.
Do we? No. Does the OP? So it would seem.
Plus given the reliability of the mail, OP had best hand-carry it.
[ATTACH] This image is actually somewhat usable and has the look of a coin that should grade MS. Maybe 62 and not 63, though, now that I'm using...
The 1896 looks like it'll grade MS63. The strike is average, and I really don't see wear that would indicate an AU grade. The 1921 I think I...
