Something came up and I haven't had as much time to work on this as I had anticipated, so I haven't sent out a reply yet except to let him know...
Your assumption that proofs are worth more than business strikes of the same coin is incorrect. There is no general correlation that can be made...
I submitted this question to NGC this morning: "NGC used to use the KM# to document the type on the label (where applicable), which was both...
Here's an interesting new pickup of an undocumented mule. The Coronation of Empress Elisabeth as Queen of Hungary Hungary 1867A (Vienna mint)...
I don't get why they call it the O/F when that feature is extremely minor. That variety has a completely different reverse than the other coins in...
OP, you have two damaged coins and have wasted your money if you submitted these for grading. That is a fact, and you don't have to believe it...
That's technically true, but in practice it only happens from time to time. I'm sure ANACS for example would be happy to take someone's money to...
These are nice and have the added advantage (or disadvantage) of having the slabs in trays....
The rim on the reverse doesn't look right at all.
I agree that clashes are noticed by the mint, and perhaps with ultra-moderns they quickly catch such defects and remove the dies from service, but...
Nice example. Congrats.
You're looking at this the wrong way. A clash is not an error. No feature that is present on the dies themselves (as with clash marks) can produce...
I've definitely bought problem coins with the intention of upgrading later if I found a better example, when the problem coin was the only example...
I've often wondered, when the TPGs have photos of the coins in their database already for cert verification/true view/etc. why don't they just...
I have a really hammered MS63 example, and this one has significant wear on the high points on both faces. Just the scope of apparent wear alone...
AU50 Details Improperly Cleaned
I think they will just say it's a mechanical error. Unlike with grades where you really need to have the coin in hand, a variety will be apparent...
Congrats on the date set! Going for the varieties now? ;)
Sell these to a dealer that can afford to have them sit for a while in inventory. You may get close to what you could have sold them for anyways,...
