I'm going ms 63. Hard to tell the surfaces from your photo. Also usually 63's and even many 64's have some major digs somewhere these days.
On the 1799 Bust dollar, I believe those lines in the hair obv., are adjustment marks and not after striking scratches.
That's very interesting about the 1840 reverse of 38 half dollar. I should look into that article. Sometime around 1978 or 79 I bought a group...
What a very nice set & idea! A good friend of mine whom I've known for many years does the same thing but with slightly later sets. He also...
Actually I was just looking a some PCGS Brazilian gold up for auction. Coins were in slabs grading MS-63 and MS-62. After looking at the...
Coin dealers are strange creatures. They seem bent on ridiculing and being rude to their clientele. Maybe collectors also have a self...
Yeah, I don't have one and have wanted one for years. Looking at Heritage, they've sold ~205 1803's (or maybe it was Bust/ Hereldic Eagles) in VF...
Sorry for the late reply. Actually no I didn't look at any other places. My understanding is the Omega sign can be so small and the imagination...

Actually I just posted about EBay not being a good source for "better coins". Someone replied to me showing a beautiful 1803 Bust dollar they...
That is a nice Bust dollar. It's also at the very top of VF grades. I had to go thru at least 20 of them in VF35 before seeing something that...
Ebay's great for buying used train track if you have kids who need extra track for their trains. Also for certain 'inexpensive' coins. My son...
No It's a 1909-P $10 Indian. Need to send it in to IGC for authentication. The thread is here with pixs of the coin:...
Thanks for the warning! I've decided not yet to upgrade my VG 1831 Bust dime which I bought at a coin store when I was young for $4. That one...
[ATTACH] He did issue apparently a lot of proclamation pieces. The reverse accurately portrays his predicament in 1822 I believe. Here is my...

That's a very nice taler. I'm curious why are you sending it to PCGS and not NGC: which seems to have the lion's share of world & ancients...
