Thanks. You make a good point. The only coin graded in my Mercury Dime set is the 16-D. There is a hole in the album and it bugs me.
Wow, I didn't realize that. I got these a long time ago. Some from banker friends for a dollar each. Some I traded for. Some I bought way back...
Thanks Randy. I did have an expert assess the 27 and the 28 without slabbing. The 27 was declared MS-61 and the 28 was declared MS-63. Tough call...
Thanks, that is how I feel at the moment. However, I am 80 years old and am also thinking about my estate.
I have never submitted a coin to be graded. I have a complete collection of Peace Dollars and some of them are very nice. I am going to post them...
Nice.
Grade = Very Nice. I am no good at grading. Here is one of mine that is graded MS-61 for comparison. [ATTACH]
Here is one of mine - 1843 Half - shattered reverse. [ATTACH]
As far as a coin collector goes it is considered damaged.
Here is a 16 D graded FR 2 by ANACS for comparison. [ATTACH]
I hope you are being sarcastic.
How can you grade it if you don't know the mint?
I found a 1 Cent Trinidad and Tobago in a Coin Star this week. No much, but different.
Funny, I was just using Ren Wax on an ancient.
Looks like it took a hit. Perhaps a bag mark. Damage.
This is a very common die chip. I found an entire roll of them at one time. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, smoke and mirrors.
As I was looking for some similar chips, I found 4 1958D's with the same dot in the location of the tie. It may be an early stage of that...
Mirrors, they do it with mirrors.
If it had been in continuous circulation it would be worn smooth. Many of these older coins get stuck in accumulations for years, even decades....
