Nothing wrong with that coin, the mark on the neck is part of the design. The reason that it is so pronounced is that it is well struck. I'd call...
Yep, MS-63.
After looking a little further, the date is completely wrong. [ATTACH]
I don't think you are, I'm in the 45-50K range too. Tell your dealer I'll take it for 7K.
I have an old man and a chumlee. I like them, but if they weren't given to me as a gift, I probably would have never bought them. Did anybody...
Are you sure that paper didn't say AT as in artificially toned. Though it looks like it just took a ride is someone's shoes for a bit.
You could be right, but it has that old Tarn-X flat look to me. Of course the images may have something to do with that.
I would call it XF-40, but the color is questionable and the strike is quite weak. I like the work that NCS can do except on copper coins. They...
Could one of you explain the reverse? Was there any rhyme or reason to the pattern, was it multiple strikes or one... I've seen this on many...
I love the look of all of those coins but wouldn't need the blessing of JA to tell me that they are nice. I can see their place, but for me it's...
It's hard to judge for authenticity, but I'll give my best grade estimate. 89-CC XF-45/AU-50 95-S VF-25 03-S VG-8 81-CC VF-35
The problem is that there is NO mintage limit. They could produce mountains of this set and sell them for years. I don't think that it would...
I'm in for a set, but I suspect that the mint will make as many as they sell and the aftermarket value will be fairly low, but better long term...
Some have passed convincingly for a long time because of their quality. The only reason that they get caught sometimes is that they flood the...
I've been seeing this more and more lately. It seems mercury dimes and franklin halves are the favorite targets. It is pretty easy to spot since...
That's it! I've decided to take a road trip to Matt's shop. Apparently he has all of the cool coins now. My local show has been weak lately.
You don't have to defend your question, that's how we learn.
I could live with that one, but a harshly cleaned or polished coin will not get into my collection unless it was a very old cleaning that has...
Yep, he apparently carried it around for a couple of days in his pocket because he didn't realize that I was out of town for a trade show. I...
It was my five year gift. He knew I didn't really want a Rolex.
