Kanga, you might find it worthwhile to pay for access to the info found at this website - https://www.acsearch.info/ They used to be free but...
Of course not, because that would result in much lower prices being realized. Two things make ebay a successful venue for coins - greed and...
Let's put it this way, it's not supposed to be possible. But given the lenient grading standards used by the TPGs - yup, it happens.
I see no die polish lines on that coin. I only see die scratches and hairlines in your secondary pictures. In your original picture, yes those are...
Price guides, whether in print or online versions, are worthless, worse than worthless. They not only should not be used they just be completely...
Numismaster, unless they have changed in the last few years, does nothing more than list the values listed in the Krause catalogs. And pretty much...

Just so you know, meaning aware; we have actually had people post here on the forum describing exactly what I described - and asking how they...
Careful now Kurt, it's starting to sound like you might even agree with me :D
My opinion, in the picture you just posted some of those lines are from die scratches, not die polish. And some of them, the majority I'd say, are...
I agree with what you just said. And I wouldn't ever bid on that coin either, but for a different reason. Ya see, I don't need to even look at the...
It's pretty easy actually - - because not everybody sets their maximum bid, they set some number they pull out of the air just so they can beat...
I'm not a huge fan of either one myself. Given the streaking of the toning on the obv of both it makes me think that something, a liquid, was...
I could go along with a low VF but no better than that.
I saw it. But did ya ever think about how many people there are who don't have your skills ? What about them Kurt ?
Geeeez ! 'Course I did, I just chiseled it in rock, We hadda have rules, ya always gotta have rules ! :D
