The difficulty with putting accurate values on rare varieties is precisely because they are rare! If a variety only comes up to auction once every...
Wow, that's gorgeous!
I've left instructions with my family that if something ever happens to me, they should contact Mark Feld at Heritage.
Well, here's a coin we don't GTG very often! I went 63, largely for the same reasons as Lehigh. However, I think the pictures are minimizing the...
I voted AU-50, based on how I'm interpreting the luster. If the luster isn't there, this is a 45.
It looks to me like there is a bit of rub on the eagle's breast. However, this is the sort of coin that goes into 61 holders all the time. I...
Beautiful, original, semi-key date. That is a fantastic coin. I voted VF-35, but it is a really nice one. I think it has just a tad too much...
Gotcha :)

These are ridiculously hard to grade, and incredibly inconsistent. I went 64 based on the large marks, and the rim scuff. I wouldn't be...
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...
There's going to be a cost whenever a coin is bought or sold. If you sell to a dealer, they will offer you less than they'll sell it for because...
Hard to tell from just these pictures, but if it is in fact uniformly golden across both sides of the coin, there's a good chance its been plated....
I think whoever designed that coin was high. That is absolutely horrific. Zero relief, zero artistry, zero coherence. This is the quintessential...
Honestly, the slab reveal has me less convinced. There's a lot more disturbance in the obverse field in front of her face evident in those...
65 is the right grade. Honestly, I have no idea why they didn't give this coin the PL. Realistically, they were quite liberal with the...
Yup, that is a conservatively graded rattler. I definitely wouldn't crack it out because that rattler slab is a collectible in its own right....
Yup, I got it as well. The slab shots you posted actually make it look better - if you had posted those, I think you would have gotten both higher...
Honestly, none of them are star worthy, and they are all fairly similar in my eyes. I suppose A might be considered the best because it has the...
Modern coin designs are divided into two categories: one group simply copies the work of better engravers and popular designs. The others strive...
