When I was young, I set about to build a set of pre-revolution Cuban coinage. I liked the designs, and I had an old Cuban guy who sort of mentored...
I think there are several problems with Franklin Mint coins (and trying to collect them). Yes, I agree that usually the workmanship is quite high,...
Yup - that is a heavily laminated and quite attractive, problem free cent. That's the kind of coin that commands a premium (its probably worth...
It has F level of details.... and also gets an F for being a poorly made counterfeit. If it's any consolation... I reported the sale to Ebay as...
Wow. That's a lot of posts.
I just don't like to assume the worst until I have enough reason to do so. I know that I, as a seller, have absolutely messed up and sent the...
Well, its been polished harshly, dipped, artificially toned, re-dipped, maybe some sort of fire damage as well. That's a lot of work to...
Hey man, I'm just asking questions. You never mentioned it was in an active set.
Why is it impossible that the seller would have that particular coin for sale? You said you sold it, so it could be in his inventory. He may have...
How many days has it been since you contacted the seller? I would give the seller 3 days to respond (life happens). If your seller still hasn't...
Just looking at the NGC population (which is probably similar to PCGS), the D has the lowest certified number of 70s. That is to say, there's only...
Where did you find that? That is distinctly unattractive. I also can't really tell which green parts are from the slab, and what is a...
Thanks!
@okbustchaser , can you give an assist on the Overton for this one? I still can't quite make up my mind between 120 and 123. Thanks!
Check out the Newman Numismatic Portal: https://nnp.wustl.edu/ Thousands of books, journals, periodicals, auction catalogs, etc. I'm sure you can...
Good guesses everyone! PCGS called this an XF-45, and it has a CAC sticker. Based on the level of wear, I think 45 is the right grade for this...
Good guesses on the grade, everyone! Would you believe that NGC called this XF-45? I believe the driving cause is the somewhat weak luster,...
Hmmmm.... I had it at O-120. I'll have to go back and check and compare to see which one is right.
Reverse is a 64 or higher, but I think the obverse brings this one down. Giving it a 63 (but I wouldn't be offended by a +).
I'll tell the grade tomorrow. I want to let the evening crowd have a chance to guess :)
