The approach is really the same as any other coin - is there wear on the high points? Is the luster disturbed on her cheek, ears, hair, or on the...
Coin looks quite nice, but a bit too many marks in the obverse left field for me. I'm going with 64PL
Yes, NGC has oversized holders that can accommodate large-size coins. They have standard large-size holders that fit the 5 oz ATB silver rounds,...
For some reason, I feel like I see clashed Roosevelt reverses a lot more often than I see obverses. That's probably the most prominent clashed...
Mmm. Superb. Love the thick patina, especially the reverse.
You'll get plenty of people who would call that an AU piece, but I like it better at EF-45. Looks like a nice coin.
You got all that for $20? I'm not entirely sure I believe that. The seller either didn't know what he was doing, or he basically just gave this...
Congrats on getting a piece you've wanted for so long. That must feel great!
I'm not sure about entertaining..... - risky - gambling - varied - diverse - eclectic - pedantic - greater highs and lower lows - potential for...
I have bought and sold through GC. My interactions with them have always been professional, and their customer service has been great. As a...
Of all the delivery services, UPS is absolutely the worst. If a seller will only offer UPS, I will literally refuse to buy the item and seek out...

No, probably not whizzed. "whizzing" means it was treated with a rapidly rotating brush (which, when applied to a coin, makes a "whizz" sound.)....
I'm not gonna name any names, but this thread is exactly the sort of toxic trash that makes people not want to post here. Certain long-time...
Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue. But if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief...
That is an incredible set. Congrats on reaching your goal!
Clearer pictures would help, but I strongly doubt that is a genuine clip. There are several indicators which point to a cut coin (artificially...
No, it's not a restrike. It is a genuine, mint-issued coin. The coin was initially struck with dies intended for a 1/8 Birr coin (a silver...
Excellent memory. It was even worse than you describe, however. I took a cotton cloth and rubbed the fields of a Kennedy proof. Afterwards, I...
The left side of the T is almost certainly machine doubling. I believe the right side of the T is probably a die chip. I don't see any doubling...
