PCGS lists the 92-O at 203 in MS-61 and the 93-O at 148 in MS-61. That's in line with the CAC population report shown below: Fewer 93-Os than...
Here's my 1854 Arrows quarter. Raw coin that I graded AU-58 but that's decidedly arguable. [ATTACH]
I think it straight-graded at AU-50, net-graded down from 53 due to the scratch from Star 9 to right forearm. I can't see much luster in these...
That is obviously not a genuine coin both by its appearance as well as there were no 1840-O coins minted. Whether intended as a counterfeit or...
I made some comments and sited a link on my response to the 1859 LS dollar regarding determining authenticity. For this 1871: I'd grade this...
If you're going to collect LS and Trade dollars, you should really amass some resources to help you in evaluating them, most particularly if...
Thanks for the encouragement. I gave up on PCGS and NGC boxes because of the slab incompatibility and the fact that these kinds of boxes take up...
I thought I'd give an update to this thread. The first photo shows my finished toilet paper roll/spring-loaded application as used on one of my...

I agree that TVs are "glamour shots". But, really, that's what they are designed to be since the buyer of the coin and the service is paying for...
Rim shot. And no, I did not think it was the 5.
Yes, of course. There are thousands upon thousands of cleaned coins in TPG holders. They make a distinction between a coin that has been cleaned...
I agree that it was probably wise to pass on this coin. I guess if it was offered at a very slight premium to spot it would be of interest but if...
We don't really have a consensus of opinion but some very well-educated guesses. Most people subscribe to a non-natural source, i.e. not just...
Here's the PCGS TrueView which shows all the problems which account for the 53. From a strictly wear standpoint it's probably a 55 to 58 but it's...
Good guess. Maybe someone glued this coin into a coin album or whatever. Odd though to glue and hide the obverse and not the reverse. But I...
I recently acquired this 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime, the LM-10 die marriage with a PCGS AU-53 grade. There's nothing notable about this coin...
It makes utterly no difference what the mintage may be, it's the number of survivors that matter. As you note, the 1877 IHC, 1919-S VDB and...
I ignore all calls except for those that are identified. If they're not in my caller list on my phone, then they don't get answered. If it's...
I would urge you, @masterswimmer, to not be discouraged. Dismayed at the low morality of many of our fellow humans perhaps. But it was always...
