Wow. I mean, nice coin, but I think 45 is overstating it. I was somewhat tempted to say 40, but I couldn’t talk myself into it. Is there some...
A median or high end 64 is still a 64. 64.5 is just a way of thinking about “this coin is at least a median 64” in my eyes. If you want to be...
I got a couple of low grade wheat cents from a coin shop once. More recently, I got a French franc from the 80s, and some Icelandic coin I don’t...
Congratulations and happy 90th! Do you have any plans to keep your site online forever, or as close to forever as you can get? Great coins! Hard...
I don’t think I’ve seen a post for the A album in a while. How full are the albums, out of curiosity? And, yeah, the D mint is great!
35, no question.
That depends on how you’d define “solid for the grade.” I would be hesitant to say anything less than “median for the grade” equates to “solid for...
Never put a safe anywhere that doesn't have some measure of climate control. It doesn't have to be a strict 68 degrees and 30% humidity (or...
I agree. The weak strike threw me off a little, to the point where I was searching for a reason to vote 58. But, I ultimately came back around to...
Who knows? That's part of the fun.
@physics-fan3.14 Is there any way you could compile a list of people to ping on these, or start a PM conversation when you open a new one? I...
I'm really sad I missed this one, because this coin is the poster child for MS-63. I could honestly see it in a 63+ holder due to it not...
I don't know about natural or artificial, but I don't like it one bit. It reminds me of a bad secondary retoning. I would not own this coin.
Just out of curiosity, did the price change when it was relisted as “tooled,” or no?
I guessed 63, but I think that’s because I forgot I was grading a coin the size of a nickel using photos the size of a silver dollar on my phone.
I voted MS-65, which means I was off by one again (or, really, off by 1/2, as the CAC sticker suggests). This whole endeavor has given me a...
My collection is not at the $100k level, but it's well over $10k. Unfortunately, nobody in my family shares my interest in coins, so I am going...
I never understood going straight to a dip, when distilled water, acetone, or xylene sometimes help and literally cannot damage the surfaces of a...
That’s partially because modern collectors have the advantage of actually having mintage figures available, in most cases. One notable case where...
Literally my thoughts, exactly.
