I'm using the Fuld scale, because this is a CWT. R-8 = 5-10 known. Equivalent to a Sheldon R-7. This was the only picture of an example I can...
There are too many unattractive coins from this hoard, especially 3 cent silvers. This is coming from someone who likes very dark silver coins as...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1863 Mather and Shefferly Crockery Store - Detroit, Michigan store card. Token R-8, 5 to 10 known. Same example used on...
It's actually coinfacts survival rates. Edit: Never mind, there are more 1881-S Morgans in all grades, but more 1884-CC in UNC.
The 1884-CC Morgan Dollar is more common in all grades than the 1881-S. Bank vaults are a wonderful thing.
It looks a bit cleaned to me but I don't think it matters at this grade. I'm thinking FR-02. I love this coin as well. It's a CC that actually...
I actually live in Beaverton (well, Tigard) as well. I usually visit Beaverton Coin and Currency. Really nice dealer over there. I'll have to...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This coin is the PCGS Photograde image for a P-01. My coin looks a little less worn. [ATTACH][ATTACH] This is a PCGS FR-02. My...
I love this coin. It's a lowball candidate and on top of that a fairly scarce date.
I have a bias for dark toned coins, but whatever floats your boat. The new coin is still amazing.
I'm not seeing it.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] What do you think of the grade? Do you think there's a more worn 1859-S half?
The obverse shield is the style used on early half dimes (pre 1840 I think).
Another problem is that if you look at the reverse, you can see a faint image of Lincoln. This is called progressive indirect design transfer, and...
Yet sometimes you see obviously cleaned Seated coins with hairlines in problem free slabs.
The thing is, would you really pay 3 times as much just to remove one or two tiny, almost unnoticeable dings? Some people will, but I certainly...
I agree, probably a die clash. Everything is in the right position.
Here's what I'll say. TPG grades aren't always accurate (look at my recent 1877 IHC thread and you'll know). Also, it depends on the coin. I...
By the way, you're looking at GSC there. Notorious for shill bidding.
