This is a great example of a coin with serious hairlines - and how different photo angles can hide them! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I was thinking... in the Heritage archives, they show the price realized plus the buyers premium. Therefore, someone researching sees the coin...
Usually they are curved, but there are actually 3 types of clips. There are the curved clips, straight clips, and ragged end clips. This appears...
It appears like the vertical lines on the numerals are virtually complete, and the reverse has good detail. I think the obverse might just barely...
I don't see signs of polishing on this coin. I see quite a few contact marks, but it looks good.
I don't know anything about the coin, but I love the look of the blues. Gorgeous.
Let's clarify some terminology first - this would not be an "error coin" as it is traditionally used in numismatics. This would be a variety, and...
Just got this new coin (it was cheap, and I probably had too much Bourbon that night, whatever). How many steps do you see? And, unofficially,...
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...

Yes, I'm aware of NNC. I always had the impression that NTC was similar. I guess I might be wrong.... but I haven't seen a whole lot of impressive...
I distinctly remember it snowing one year at FUN. So, I wouldn't guarantee that ;)
The piece looks quite nice. The price looks quite high. For reference, a VF-30 sold on Great Collections earlier this year for $173. So,...
What is puzzling you about the label? It says it is an 1887. Oh, are you looking at the S$1? That just means "Silver Dollar" And, Google is...
Entry post, because I still really want #12! To keep it coin related: here are pictures of a beautiful Moroccan Rial. It's sitting on my desk...
FUN now has 2 shows, and has for quite a few years now. The Winter FUN in January is the big one, and then they have a Summer FUN in July that is...
I live in SC. Every single roll of fresh, UNC, straight from the Reserve rolls I've gotten have been NF Strings. I think Loomis is a re-packaged deal.
