Yes, that is the one I am familiar with and I instantly noticed it on your coin. Are there any other easy diagnostics?
The dark around the letters isn't bad. It would look weird and unnatural if you tried to remove it. It might make EF, but I don't see any luster...
It is a valuable reminder: what diagnostics do you look for to prove this coin is genuine? The 1877 is highly counterfeited (I'm not saying this...
Most of us don't own coins special enough for names.
Do y'all buy these books to use as references, or do you collect the books? I have bought a few books from Kolbe and Fanning before, but not at...
I agree.
For comparison, here is an Edward VI I used to own. It is a later type, but similar manufacture. NGC called this one VF-20 - so I would probably...
Does this book cover only British/UK sovereigns, or does it extend across the empire? I know Australian sovereigns are quite popular. Just...
Absolutely gorgeous original orangey gold color on that piece. Nice purchase!

Yeah, its a solid coin. I wouldn't fret over a couple of dollars.
In British terms, this is more likely a VG. $15 is about right, and that seems to be a nice, original, problem free, attractive old grey coin. I'd...
Randy... I'm really surprised at your... misinformation... on this particular item. The coin was certified by PCGS, but it is not in a holder...
Unfortunately, they delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum? Shadow and Flame!
Show as an in-focus picture of the whole coin. But, as expat mentions - a cud *must* by definition involve the rim. If it is in the interior of...
What blows my mind even more is that the little purple stamp might go for more!
Many of the top graders have worked for PCGS and NGC at some point in their career. Some have even done stints at ANACS, and some now work at ICG!
What are the signs its fake? All I see is a high price for a spotted eagle, from a seller with very low feedback score. I'd avoid it for those 3...
