If I was going to overpay for a coin, a half cent would be one of my top choices, especially if it had attractive surfaces. The pleasure of...
The state quarters as a whole were a fantastic idea and a great way to bring new people into the hobby. But some of the designs really leave a...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I've always wanted a Norfolk since I was stationed there in the late 90's. I couldn't pass this one up, especially...
Not seeing any rarities but you have several coins containing 90 percent silver and a half dollar (the 1968) with 40 percent silver. The silver...
I looked at the NGC cert photo and didn't see anything nearly that pronounced. It definitely looks like it emerged after slabbing.
I can't imagine it getting a straight grade, the cleaning looks too harsh to be market acceptable. However, I have been surprised before at what...
Perhaps there already is a price difference? I happen to own a VF35 Trade Dollar with a CAC sticker with truly original, attractive surfaces. I...

I've had coins that looked improperly dipped and this was especially visible when tilting the coin. Like a funky sort of residue that isn't...
In 1983 there were cents that got plated with brass instead of copper due to zinc bleeding into the copper, that's what I was referring to. Not...
In all seriousness it may be an improperly mixed alloy. I do remember finding one of similar color in a mint sewn bag. Not sure how that could...
There's really no magic to any of it. Just don't overpay for coins when you buy them so that when you sell them you may not make money, but at...
Based on the Great Southern logo on a raw coin I'm going to say UNC details cleaned :-( But if it looks as good in hand as in the photos it has...
Could it be paint? You may want to try some acetone. Without the red it looks like a solid G-VG. If it comes out I would guess the coin is in...
None of the options we are discussing matter if the seller has unrealistic expectations. This is why most items on EBay go unsold regardless of...
I always have a negative reaction to hidden reserves. When I see multiple bids on an item with a low price I open the listing, but when I see the...
