Now THAT's a FB!
How much would you like to wager? ;) I'll even pay for PCGS/NGC grading. :D To wit, I think that coin would be lucky to go MS, much less FB....
Shhh, don't tell anyone. I just bought a $10 (0.25oz) AGE. Shhh...
I tend to give the seller the benefit of the doubt. In this case the reverse weakness (which could be from a polished die) doesn't bother me....
I'll take that bet.... Please explain how roll-toned coins - coins that have never been dipped -- often show a similar broken-toning pattern?...

Eddie, Take, for example, the coin below (FWIW, NGC graded it PF 67, CAC didn't agree): [img] [img] You will notice that the coin's die has...
If you have to ask this question, I would suggest you buy a certified example, preferably with the help of an expert/mentor who gives you an...
Eddie, you are correct to question the strike -- it is a bit weak for a proof merc of this year, based on my experience. However, I see nothing...
I would suggest you look into the gold confiscation act of 1933 and the recent suit against the Longbards if you think the 4th and 5th amendments...
