Interesting. I did not notice those marks before, although I still am not sure whether or not they would change the grade drastically. I don't...
Miraculous find. As for the varieties, the doubling does look like machine doubling, but I could be wrong. The cuds, however, do look to be...
That sounds kind of fun!
The coin? I know. I started resisting the urge to pick up coins on the floor in March. ;)
Thanks for specifying. What I see is most likely the lighting creating the appearance of doubling. It is possible there is a very small amount of...
Looks like a very nice Morgan dollar! There is also a vertical clash mark leading up in between "IN" and "GOD" on the reverse. Looks like a very...
I think I will say MS66+. This is certainly an interesting coin to grade, and I feel like visual appearance plays a good part in the grading of...

Well, I would say a coin with both has the best of both worlds! Love the colors on these coins.
Are you referencing the line running from the shield to the rim? Looks like a little bit of oxidation.
Coins with improperly mixed metals do seem to be more prone to laminations, just from my personal observations. Not sure if that is causation or...
The area of Jefferson's hair that is still showing is lower than the base of the scrape.
Another great way to distinguish PMD from a cud is to look at the rim. When it is damaged, you can most often clearly see where the coin took a...
As @Kentucky said, cents can take on a whole variety of different colorations based on the environment they were stored in. In-part, that is one...
It does resemble a weak strike error, but it is hard to tell from the photos. Sometimes these occur as a sort-of trial piece called "die...
Many people like Canadians, but it is true that there are less people, at least in the United States, interested in Canadian coins than U.S....
First off, this is such an outstanding piece. My guess is at MS63+.
Please do!
I agree. Either a little weakly struck or debris filled. In any case, it is a nice 1910 cent with some lovely details. I love the "woodgrain"...
