I'd say F15. Cool find!
"To return or not to return..." p.s. 98% of the time I read this, the answer is return the coin. As they say, "If you're even asking the...
First off, I expect the coin will look even better in hand, and it will be a very very attractive coin. Just about all 66's are and I see nothing...
While I stop short of 100% (perhaps the cynic in me), you can trust what Speedy writes on this topic implicitly.
I can never get them quite right the first time. ;) I have an iterative writing style for some reason (perhaps because I really learned how to...
Agreed. Add to the list virtually any proof prior to 1800, where obvious evidence of cleaning most people would describe as "harsh" is ignored in...
The die mark (and die crack) does speak to the coin being genuine -- but it doesn't prove anything. Quite frankly, really there's nobody in the...
I agree. If there is any doubt, I would call NGC customer service and inquire. They keep good records of counterfeit slabs, and should be able to...
I'll bet you $100 none of them were dated prior to 1856. ;)
p.s. the perception is that NGC grades more loosely than PCGS. This is the case sometimes, and other times it is not. Without the skill to grade...
Two reasons, IMO: 1) The PCGS coin is the better coin (i.e. real value). -AND/OR- 2) The PCGS name is the better name (i.e. perceived value).
Conder, More details, please! ...Mike
This is the Ike Lehigh wishes was in his type set: [img][img] ;) :D p.s. Actually, I think Lehigh would like a higher graded one for his type...
Given your collecting interests, I'd go with the wheatie -- but I'd try and find one raw because I think in your price range you'll get a much...
From the pics, I'd grade the coin 65. Perhaps higher if the luster is really booming in-hand.
Rumor has it that you've cherrypicked eBay before. ;)
Send a PM to Toad!
Old, crappy photos I'm almost embarassed to post: [img][img] [img][img] [img][img]
I concur, Lehigh -- I'd estimate the chances this coin sees a graded PCGS holder at less than 5% (and certainly hoping to be wrong!). Just wanted...
Yes, XF and EF are synonyms.
Separate names with a comma.
