That is a nice, wholesome looking piece. Many Bust Dollars have been cleaned through the years. Back in the 1960s and early '70s, "bright white"...
Here is the type of "Million for defense ..." pieces you see more often. This one is quite common as an R-1. It's a Low-32 or HT-47. [ATTACH]
Unfortunately I think that it would be a downgrade candidate. I don't like the darkness on the cheek, which may be wear, and there are some hits...
I think it is probably net graded to AU-53. The actual wear is better than that, but the coin does not appear to have mint luster. The adjustment...
I paid $750 at a Baltimore coin show for the first piece I posted with Janis on the obverse. I paid a total of $408 for the second one, including...
The Panic of 1837 began soon after President Martin Van Buren took the Oath of Office on March 4, 1837. It would last until 1842 and could...
The “PQ” sticker might be a dealer creation. I used to put hand written ones on coins that I thought were nice for grade when I was a dealer.
It's an 1864 large motto two cent piece. The sharpness grade is Good, but it has been cleaned. The Grey Sheet price is $15 with a narrow range of...
That appears to be a really nice example for the 1926. A picture of the coin without all of the slab detail would be better. The 1926 is one of...
Here are the two pieces in my collection. [ATTACH] This quadrigatus-didrachm was issued toward the end of the Greek coin inspired, didrachm...
I like #1 and #3. The second one is a bit scruffy. The third one is the sharpest.
The “D” is rarer and less spectacular.
If it is any help, here are photos of a Mint State graded example. The 1908-S Indian Cent is a historic piece. It was the first cent that was made...
When it comes to authenticity issues, I wouldn’t trust anything these days. It’s more fun for a crook to add an “S” to 1909 Indian or 1909-VDB,...
It does not get too much of a chuckle from me because it's got the right date on it for the variety. Therefore, it's more dangerous. The Bust too...
Congratulations! I think that the Walking Liberty Half Dollar is one of the great designs in the U.S. coin series. I would never dream of trying...
It could be something simple like sticking the coin under a table leg to keep it from rocking.
I have not used coin albums in the conventional sense for U.S. coins for many decades. I use Eagle brand albums for my political items collection...
I think that it has been crushed in some way. The design devices seem to have been flattened by something other than normal wear.
Sorry, but not really in this condition. The 1912-D nickel begins to become a better date in VF and better. The pieces in Good sell for common...
