FWIW, here are some crappy pics of my PCGS 66: [img][img] Interestingly enough it also shows some die polish, and I think your coin, Matt, is...
What an amazingly clean Ike. That said, NGC and PCGS grade to a quite different standard for these coins in these high-mint-state grades....
BTW, and not looking at any books, it looks like an early 1830's large cent to me.
The coin does look odd. Almost like it was dug then conserved and recolored. That is not at all unusual. Large cents of this time were struck...
Just wait. ;)
Large supply + low demand = low prices
Well please show/link the pics and we'll be able to do a much better job of telling you if you're getting a good deal or not. :)
I had no idea if you do or do not own it, but presumed you did. And I can't really call it dreck without seeing it in-hand. The coin looks...
I see no prices that are out of line. The 1898-S morgan is just about at spot price, for instance. That said, buying coins from a written...
PCGS suggests a price of $700 for a 67 FS. I'll guess you got it for a discount to that price, as is typical for NGC slabbed coins in this grade,...
Paul, How is the luster in-hand? I'm presuming much stronger than the pics.
They are small spots/areas of light corrosion. Quite common on large cents. Look back on the 1818 (coin #1) and you'll see the same thing. Not...
Here's coin #3 from the submission. This coin was sent in raw to PCGS. What will PCGS grade the coin (or if they don't grade it, what reason...
:eek: :D
Weakly struck AU details, altered surfaces.
The 1883 looks almost prooflike. Nice coin. Buff is quite nice too! Appears to have the typical "pee" yellow toning you often see on nickel coins.
Another good thing about learning Jefferson nickels is that they comprise two different metal types. If you learn silver and nickel, really...
Wow to the coin AND the price. Two thumbs up from Leadfoot.
It really depends on the coin itself. The price isn't out of line, if that's what you're asking.
First off, I like the color of the coin. Lots of meat left too. Two things concern me about the coin. First, the white stuff that appears to be...
Separate names with a comma.
