The coin has high EF wear. I see a little shininess, but I also see pretty good remaining luster.
By "about the same" what do you mean?
There are a lot of scratches, but I don't see any evidence of harsh cleaning. I would expect to see more patina on it at that age - the coin...
Man, those high relief coins are just so beautiful. Kinda makes you wonder what the 1921 Peace would have looked like if they really struck them...
It's in plastic... it's not graded or guaranteed by any reputable service. NTC is a self-slabber (he bought some plastic, printed some labels, and...
If I'm paying a huge premium for a date or variety, I need to be able to clearly see the identifying features. If I can only barely make out the...
You are guessing the grade. Ideally, your grade and the TPG grade should be the same, if the TPG's are grading accurately and you are grading...
If you read the wikipedia article, it's pretty clear that sestercentennial is the real word and the other one is a modern made up thing:...
If it's a modern Chinese copy, they counterfeit everything. They're all collectible and sell at a premium. Even the dimes.
If you posted the other closeup picture of the date that user bdunnse posted in this thread:...
Can you try and take some pictures for us?
You know what, I actually think I was wrong on that one. The dime should be reeded. The half dollar had a lettered edge, but the lower...
Obviously, I'm fully aware that they *do* grade according to different standards. I'm asking *should* they?
Sometimes the TPG just has no idea which side is the obverse. I like to think its because the TPG is confused. Sometimes. however, it's because...
Yheuppp. That edge on that date is fake. No further discussion required. There are some dates of some early coins with some variations of some...
Well, they all appear to be authentic except for the 1943 Lincoln which looks like it was processed to look copper. It has a super fake processed...
I'm confused? Is this a GTG? (please tell us to GTG) Is this just an addition to your set? (please give us some context about your set, where...
To be fair... we aren't saying we agree with you. We don't know you at all. We're saying we need to see pictures of what you describe. There are...
What was slabbed "reverse"? When it comes to world coins, the TPGS are wildly inconsistent with what they slab as obverse vs. reverse. Even when...
Old men and young men both have the same in common - to afford rare coins, they have to save disposable income to spend it on commodities like...
