1881 isn't a key date, and the coin is either poorly struck or has quite a few issues going on with it. If someone was trying to do as you...
Ok, thanks for all the help and feedback. I'm glad you guys were able to spot it as a fake. The feedback got me thinking about this coin, so I...
There is one thing that I'm 100% certain of: it is not fake gold. The coin has been tested via XRF to ensure the gold content. It weighs 8.4...
Let me first preface this post by saying that I know absolutely nothing about grading gold pieces. I have not yet moved on to these as an aspect...
If it hadn't been cleaned, I'd say low MS. But I think that it has been cleaned, so I'm going with AU55. I don't like to give cleaned coins a...
It looks like it may be prooflike, but pictures never do a coin justice. They may also hide some imperfections. Based on what I see, MS64 seems...
The reverse is pretty weak, and the die crack is there, but weak. I think I remember reading that it is not a necessity that #1 has a strong die...
What is a weak D, die #1 worth in VG8 condition? These pictures are not mine, so it's the best I can offer. (no die rotation) [IMG] [IMG]
Outrageously well done work! The coin has all of the markers of a 14.1A. I really appreciate the effort and time you took to help me out. I'm...
Thank you. Olympus FE-330 8 megapixel, taken in a photgraphy booth under fluorescent lighting diffused behind white synthetic fabric- macro...
The luster is great on both coins. I used diffused fluorescent lighting... a picture booth. I took the shot straight on, but if I had taken it...
The photo did not pick up the dash, but it is certainly there without a glass. I'm not sure why the camera didn't pick it up. I do not think...
Yup, missing nostril for sure. LOL, yeah vamworld.com lists so many of the 1978 varieties that I got a bit frustrated with the whole ordeal of...
ok, that clears things up a good bit. I'll stick with MS63. I think that is a safe bet, so if you send it off, it might be even higher grade. It's...
I still can't tell anything about the luster on the obverse from the extra pictures, but I am so far standing by my grade of MS63
I picked these both up today and would really appreciate some help with the following. These are some really big pictures, so click on the bar...
Nice coin, but better pictures would be great. It looks to be proof-like. The O's for this year are poorly struck coins, so don't be discouraged...
More information than what I can type can be found here: US Patriot Act And more specifically, here: Know Your Customer Many transactions...
Many of the suggestions are very good. I happen to agree most with the suggestion to have the collection of coins sold by a live auctioneer....
If you're happy with the coin for $25, then that is all the really matters. But if you're looking for a grade on it, then based on the pictures...
