Most bullion coins like that are either MS69 or MS70. It doesn't matter what color label it is. My guess is the green label is the anniversary...
I'll only bid on NGC or PCGS coins from them. I learned a long time ago that their descriptions of raw coins are mostly crap.
I guess if the auction house willingly continues with this item, knowing it's fake, then I hope it hurts their future business with people calling...
Yeah, when I bought them the owner asked me if I could tell him the grades I got when they came back. The other was this PR64 Seated Liberty...
That makes a big difference. I was always told that if they were brown you were full of something. By the way, mine are blue too:-)
I've posted this coin in a couple other threads recently but this one is by far my best ever purchase. I got it raw from a LCS that bought a...
Father time will ensure that new eyes look at all of these coins in the future. If we could remove all of the beans from existing slabs I wonder...
That is one of the issues I have with all of this; "subjectivity". The entire grading process has a lot of "subjectivity" embedded in it. What...
Thanks for taking the time to detail the history and show some comparisons.
Nice idea! I want to put together a birth year type set for my son starting with my great grandparents birth years. That would mean starting...
When it comes to non-MS coins, how much of a bump would be needed for a gold bean?
I can see your point about the 1853 dime. It looks like a strong MS64. I don't see any detracting marks that would knock it down a grade or make...
I can't believe that it only graded XF40. I'd go at least AU53. Nice solid coin.
I would guess no for the bean. I see slight wear on top of the wings and definitely on the hair high points. I would go as far as calling it a...
When I first looked at it I thought I had drank too much.
Pretty toning
I voted no but it is very close to 5 full steps. The 5th step has too much of a break in the right half in my opinion.
I bought this one for my "other" proof set. [ATTACH]
I would add that a "small scratch" on a large coin such as a Morgan dollar would be a "large scratch" on a small coin such as a dime. So,...
At least the high bid is only $15.
