I'm up there in the 65/66 range.
My wife understands that the money spent on a coin is not gone forever. I may not get as much back as I paid, particularly over the short term,...
A lot of flatness, especially on the reverse. Could be a weak strike but I'm in the AU camp.
With a clip of that size I would have expected a much greater Blakesley Effect. I'm thinking "No" to it being a clip.
If that orangish color is coming from indirect sunlight I think you need to work more on lighting. And maybe the camera settings. Have you worked...
Why are the closeups so grainy? Is that from the image resolution? Or did this coin get treated with Nic-a-date?
Could be, but I went with what the comment most likely appeared to be.
I use a sort of arm waving guesstimate. If a catalog gives me a value for XF-40 and AU-50 I add 40% of the difference to the XF-40 value.
* Scheduled listings are way overpriced -- That's strictly up to the seller -- Many sellers use the "until closed" option then forget about the...
My gold type set is the NGC Short Gold Type Set. No designs that began before 1834. And my 1907 High Relief is a Wire Rim in NGC AU-50. Your...
Amazing set. Mine is good but yours is well beyond that. I'm missing 3 coins: -- 1796 Dime -- 1796 Quarter -- 1796 Half Dollar The dime is within...
Nice start. Keep it up at that level as long as possible. That's the way I started. Now that I'm close to completion I've had to go as low as...
I'm more in the XF range (technical grade). Gold is often tough to grade because it marks up so easily. I think the TPG's give them a bit of a...
IMO the 1893-S is worse than PO-01. It's PO-01 DETAILS (abrasively cleaned).
IMO the Mint overcharges for their products. There are many dates in the 70's and 80's in which proof sets cost less than the original issue price.
69 (at most) Looks like it wasn't full struck. Notice the flat area on the buff's shoulder. That's the most obvious.
The GSA sale of silver dollars had many examples of baggy coins. That's why many of them got graded as MS-62 and -61.
Now that you're an ANA member you don't have to join NGC in order to submit coins for grading. But you still have to pay for the grading.
What would you expect conserving to do for your coin?
You mean the one with one eye and one horn that can fly?
