It happens. Once I posted a Seated dime with a very faint date thinking it was an 1853 No Arrows. It was an 1856 (most likely). I did a Photoshop...
An S mintmark, even in AG grade, would be strong. There are no signs here. This coin is a Philadelphia issue. There would still be value, though....
Great coin! Besides some hairlining on the reverse it looks like a great coin for the price. Love the circcam look.
It has to be either my 1868 hub through IHC: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Or the two 1925-S/S nickels I bought a week apart from each other: [ATTACH]...
Do you search melt bins a lot? My LCS has big melt bins and I search whenever I go. Last time I found a 1927-D SLQ in AG-G. A better date, but...
It’s like the 3 1/2 legged buffaloes. Almost every collector knows that there is a 1937-D 3 legged Buffalo. Some collectors know that there is a...
And congrats on getting the 3000th post in this thread. And to think I was one of the first to post. I remember when this thread was one page long.
Definitely fake, but @-jeffB has an interesting story regarding an 1878 trade dollar with no mintmark...
Absolutely. I have seen 1877 IHCs in PCGS VF20 holders that would grade F12 at best, even considering weak strikes. Know how to grade your series...
You should not buy the keys until you know the series very well, like collecting the series, and know how to spot fakes. They don’t have to be...
All of the 1861-D gold dollars were struck under CSA administration. Not sure whether that falls into the mass-produced category or the "extremely...
There's a lot of varieties not mentioned in CPG like the 1882 Broken 2 IHC and the 1868 Hub Through IHC.
55 on the 40 and 53 on the 64-S. Seeing 1864-S in the title made me excited. A genuinely tough coin that most don’t even realize is tough. They...
I found an 1876-CC Type 2 Reverse dime on Ebay for $30 in VF with an old cleaning. This was between classes at school. I just checked and it sold....
It happens. Once my LCS had several Soviet mint sets for $2 or $3 each and I passed up on them. Only when I got home did I realize my mistake...
Looks a bit baggy but some of it appears to be die polish marks and the luster really pops. I'll go 65.
Amazing coins and especially love the Seychelles. My local shop has a $1 bin (sometimes with small silver coins) and a $5 for 25 bin. Sometimes...
13 Color looks off, and there is no luster which is unusual for the grade of the coin. Valuable and frequently counterfeited date. Some places...
I absolutely love worn gold from the C, D, and S mints (before 1873). I'm thinking VG10.
