If I were to tackle this project, I would start with trying to acquire one coin for every country (unless some have sets that you can buy for not...
Numista will give you most of the information. In the search box, click add filters, and plug in the needed year....
See my earlier post:
Fair enough. I'm no pro but have gambled with coins. My experiences say certain scenarios seem better to pass than play.
I'm willing to give it more consideration as part of a large submission or just as a test of current grading. If I was sending it in though, my...
I'm with @kSigSteve ...I really like the design and would be thrilled to own it. The color adds character, but it's not enough for a high toning...
It's pretty much an automatic no if you do ask (reported from people who have actually tried). And PCGS at the moment has a long call wait time,...
First of all, this is an older holder that was graded many years ago. Most importantly though, TPGs don't discuss grades. Anacs and ICG might give...
For a common coin, it would need to be two points to be worth cracking in most cases. When I see something like $45/$80/$150/$300 (64/65/65+/66)...
I don't have direct access to CAC either and if I had the coin, I still would not crack it. Jefferson Nickels are also different from Peace...
It looks like the area in red was more grade limiting than I thought. If this coin had strong toning, it would have been market graded to a 66 or...
Common dated coins without color usually won't get the benefit of doubt. So the downside risk is not $0. Even though we all think it is higher,...
Best of luck on it! This one deserves the gold. As far as cracking and resubmitting, there are times that it makes sense. I would just argue that...
Relying on a plus grade is almost like relying on a star at NGC. They just don't seem to give them out often on standard submissions. Plus I'm...
It's a nice looking coin but I'm not seeing the costs being worth it. A generic 64 is a $40-$50 coin. This one would go for a premium over that. A...
My suggestion was to include it in a PCGS order with some other coins. I'm almost certain NGC would call it AT.
If it did straight grade, I would guess that it would sell for more than if it was blast white. Even raw, you might get $10-$20 for it....
:banghead:
I would say that 1.5 points is already a big spread when the scale is only 1.0-6.9. In my view, a small spread is when everyone is within 1 point....
I have a positive bias towards these proof Jefferson toners and I like this one. I'm going with 4.7
