I would grade it XF-AU and think it's worth being certified.
Way too much wear for AU. I would pass on this one b/c of the color.
Also, the D looks odd to me.
XF with environmental damage.
Thanks for your comment about the article. Mike Thorne
VF30 details. You guys are awfully tough on this coin. It doesn't look that bad to me.
Excellent answer, and as someone who wrote a couple of intro statistics books, I feel sure your reasoning is sound. And you're right that the...
I'll give you two reasons to slab a coin other than to increase its value. One is that the slabs are good for long-term storage. Another is that...
I've ordered some of their loss-leaders from advertisements in national magazines. Like silver Eagles for less than the current price of silver....
I would grade it XF40.
I've sold coins by mail order and on eBay for many years. Basically, it depends on the value of the item as to whether or not I insure a package....
Rotated-die coins can be worth a good bit. I bought a lot of MS 1923 Peace dollars years ago and noticed that on two of them it looked like the...
My wife and I also like Carlo Rossi, the Paisano variety. We buy it by the gallon and drink it fast enough that it never goes bad (becomes...
One other comment about the 1950-D. It's what got me back into collecting after 10 years off for college. I went into a coin shop in Jackson, MS,...
I just consulted my old Photograde and will change my F-VF to VF. Too much wear on the triangle on Monticello to be XF, IMO. It's a decent...
One other comment: Finding one today is pretty amazing.
I would call it F-VF. For those of you who didn't find any in circulation, I would guess you either looked in the wrong place or at the wrong time...
Just my opinion, of course, but I don't think the set is worth completing. I would strip out the few dates with some premium (e.g., the 1921s) and...
It's too late now, of course, but maybe you should have submitted it to NCS for conservation before NGC grading.
I'm still waiting on a package of hammered coins I sent to NGC to be certified. The postmark on the package is May 19. I looked on the NGC site...
