I agree the 1928 is UNC. I guessed 62 due to some weakly struck areas on the high points and my generally being conservative on point grades, but...
What looks like wear on the sideburns, ear, mustache and beard is weakness of strike, I get that. But on the reverse what you get on the high...
If there is anything to learn from this thread, it is that people buying that coin would not pay MS-64 money for an AU regardless what the slab...
I see that on the 1928, but I see both that and slight wear on the 1902 specifically on the reverse. I think the grade it got is an example of...
You can get a raw UNC with better eye appeal for $10, even less if you keep an eye out
I would love to buy from you then
I don't miss the smell of 2000 year old farts, that's for sure
This thread is the PERFECT example of why I prefer raw coins.
MS60 is an inferior coin that technically does not have wear. I would prefer a nice AU to a 60 any day. The two coins here I agree 58/62

Those darn Hafner attributions often cause more confusion than clarity.
It's the eBay blues. Sometimes you get great deals, sometimes you get blue-balled.
800x is way overkill. You really don't need any more than like 60x. You can get one for around $10-$15 from Hong Kong on eBay that will do the job...
Bag marks and some wear to the right of the marks, on the highest point in the design.
Your pictures make it impossible to see if it was cleaned or not, but looks like a high AU at best to me. The cheekbone is the high point of the...
Or just clean a butt-load of cheap, well circulated coins until you realize what you're doing wrong :)
Cleaning as in using chemicals/solvents or abrasive materials that leave visible signs on the coin. In that sense, the coin you posted has not had...
I would definitely buy this one for my reference collection, but at a counterfeit price of course :)
First thing I noticed was the roughness in the surface around the wreath and shield on the reverse. This coin is 3 or 4 tweaks away from being...
You can use NGC's price guide as a reference.. Very nice find for junk silver :greedy:...
