I agree, that cent is too dark for a star. Cool greens, though.
I don't see enough luster for 66, so I went with 65. And PCGS would call that FBL.
The strike on these is all over the place. It's not uncommon to have weak rims.
If you have a 32bit software and a 64bit machine, it won't work. Some software is incompatible with Windows 10, but it can be made to work by...
Because grading proofs from images is always a guessing game. However, it's even more difficult with these photos. Obviously the NGC photos are...
I think 35 sounds right. I'm not seeing any luster, and I would want traces of luster in the hidden areas to call it a 40. I think you paid a...
Welp... I'll guess that this here is a proof ha'penny from 1805. I'll wager it's copper. Any more than that would be sure guesstimating.
67????!???!???!??!!!!!!??! WTF? That gash in the stars is bad enough, but the C-section scar alone should preclude a 66. The rest of the coin...
On the '20 Quarter, there are two things I'm concerned about. First is the scratch above her left shoulder. Is that a staple scratch? It should be...
The hard part with these pictures is I have *absolutely* no idea what the luster is like, and that plays a big part of the grade.
The problem is, the reverse "doubled" image is flat and shelf-like, with no split serifs. I know what I'm looking at, and I think you are looking...
I like it at 64, but I wouldn't be surprised by 65.
Well that was a fantastic write-up for a very interesting coin. Thanks for teaching me something!
Can you get casting bubbles on the edge? Because that's immediately what I thought when I saw his picture of the edge.
Dumb idea.
Yes, there was an example of the 1883 no-cents V nickel posted earlier in the thread. However, I'll post a side-by-side now: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Doesn't look right to me. That weight seems low, even for a shipwreck coin.
I will wait for the experts to give the final verdict, but I immediately noticed the raised areas as well. They could be from a rusted die, but my...
PR-66*. Obverse has nice cameo, reverse seems to be lacking.
I agree that there should be no Bean on the 1839O half. It was dipped or cleaned and retoned. But the die cracks all over both sides are fantastic!
Separate names with a comma.
