True, but some people are able to live with things that others won't. Some people are able to overlook things others can't. Coin collecting is...
I owned a 31-S once that graded MS64 RB and was an absolutely beautiful coin except for a single carbon spot near the date. I was able to buy it...
My guess is that it would grade in the MS63/MS64 Brown range. I have a couple other NGC graded Lincolns with spots like those with MS grades.
Nice post. I'll have to read it again with a beer and sausage:-)
True, but there's a cost in recertification. Given some of the grading trends discussed in some of the other threads, a coin graded AU 58 may...

I'd leave the coin in the slab and buy a raw one for my album. Since it isn't a rare date you should be able to purchase a nice example that...

You've got my curiosity. What are the three types? I can only think of two. I'm not a SLQ collector as of yet but hope to add a few as time...
I wasn't around when most of the coinage I'm interested in were circulating. I don't see a generational bias in what I'm interested in. I'd hope...
I didn't say there's anything wrong with it if that's what you like; all power to you. That's what's nice about numismatics; many options. For...
Maybe my age shows but I have an issue with modern coinage since the mint has opened Pandoras box as to the number of coin types. I have no...
