Quarter eagles from this era are tough to grade. But the source of the photos was a hint that this wasn't a common au58 grade.
Residue from 1961 era plastic, perhaps? I think I've seen similar on other proof sets from that era.
Digital photos tend to create noise that can be mistaken for polishing. But, the obverse certainly seems to have something going on. I'm leaning...
I'll have to go digging. But I think I have a German medal commemorating the year without a summer somewhere. Didn't this event also indirectly...
Bought this raw the other day and was wondering what grade to catalog it at. There's a scratch at about 7:00 on the obverse that probably knocks...
I'm going to go with 64 and was leaning towards maybe 65. Seems a bit self-congratulatory after the reveal, but that is where I was.
I'm not looking for confirmation of what I can see (or may be convincing myself I can see). As I posted in my last comment, I'm asking error...
Still time for a few more guesses...
Any error collectors care to weigh in?
Own any Palladium? I picked up one a few years ago when Palladium was about on par with platinum (& both were above gold). Now, the metal seems...
Sorry to hear about that. Did they handle your issue well? I've haven't had any problems with Heritage, but the real measure is how a seller deals...
AU-58
It seems like the gap between bullion value and the numismatic value (or premium) is decreasing. That typically happens when there are a few days...
Well, opinions are like... belly buttons [we've all got one]. After looking at this in-hand under magnification, I see no raised metal. So, I'm...
Which grading service does the best / not insanely overpriced error slabbing? I've never submitted an error coin, so I'd appreciate any feedbak...
If you're looking to maintain value and avoid high premiums, I would lean towards XF & AU gold instead of MS. Many can be had just over melt. $10...
Before seeing the slab grades, I was leaning towards 55 & 60. I love the die crack on the first one. Spectacular pieces!
The holder is rather scruffy, which is making it hard to take clean pics, but the reverse here looks almost mirrored in the fields. I'm not...
Yeah, not my best pics. Sorry. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wouldn't that leave some contact residue?
