It can't have any wear due to circulation. Marks on a MS coin would be one of the determining factors when applying a grade between 60 and 70....
Can you provide a link? I like that one, and I won't return it.
They send tons of coins to PCGS and NGC for grading, but they only slab coins that are PR-69/70 or MS-69/70. Anything lower stays raw. This has...
O man I barked up this tree one time. There were a few differences in opinion to say the least. I personally wish they did somehow put a bit...
The date looks a bit funny to me. The key date would be worth the cost of submission even if it only going to get a genuine grade.
I've seen that on paper money, but never on coins. Try a dip in 100% acetone to remove it.
Well, I hate to admit it publicly, but at one time I worked for one of those tv used car salesmen coin shows. I hope you can accept my sincere...
You are not alone.
Cleaned ones don't count. :devil:
This one looks AU-58 to me. Notice the slight wear on the cheek.
I'm having a hard time seeing if the 1960 is AU-55 or MS-63. The determining factor is going to be the luster. You may need to take out of the...
Nice, silver at less than melt is always a great buy. And I see a Barber half in there.
I consider that one to be the most beautiful modern design. Too bad it is not a circulation piece so that all could enjoy it.
I agree that the state quarters did play a part in the numbers simply due to increased submissions, but how could you argue with those numbers....
I wonder how that happens so much. But the coin is worth the same, the slab is worth zero.
I got the 1891 PR-64 in the mail today.:smile I am working on a complete set of proofs (1882-1912) The 1882 is a pattern coin with the exact...
The 2001 looks to be AU-50. Most people say I am a strict grader, you may be tougher. That is a great way to learn, by practicing. I still...
I don't see the reverse image. But from the obverse alone, I think that VF-30 is a good grade. It does have a scratch that is a distraction.
When I got my first ASE in 1986, I paid $7 for it which represented about a $1.25 premium over spot. Today the same dealer charges about a $5.00...
I like the odd types. Perhaps because I am a bit of an oddity myself. Half cents, half dimes, two cent and three cent (especially silver proofs).
Separate names with a comma.
