Ignoring the big hit in the obv field, I think it meets the 58 standard. I do not think we can appraise the condition of the field luster due to...
Is there a big price jump from 64 to 65? If so I bet that coin was submitted a few times. Would it cross at grade to pcgs? I seriously doubt it.
I took a look at those lots, my thoughts based on the photos, the 42-O looks overly bright to me and probably dipped out. The 1906 looks properly...
I could see that coin as either MS63 (which is what I think it graded) or AU58 (if the luster breaks extend across the entire breast area, and are...
I have been saving all the ones that look to me as if they might be FS coins, both 63 and 64. Most of them probably aren't but I probably have a...
First think I noticed was that the label was all wrong. then the slab. then the coin. I would recommend that anyone who has trouble telling...
Great thread, Tom! Nothing beats having an album of coins in front of you, but a lot of the coins in my type set (which advances by fits and...
Thanks, I'll check for DDR's.

I pulled out my PCGS grading guide. WRT the regular relief Saints, the guide states: "For AU-55/58 coins...friction is noted on the breast and leg...
I inherited a bunch of unc. rolls of 63P and 64P nickels, are there any pickable varieties I should be on the lookout for? thanks in advance for...
Sounds like a lot of fun searching through those!
Lovely original coin!
Very nice pre-Civil War dollar. Great circam look.
I posted this one because there is clearly rub and loss of luster all over Liberty's body and substantially on the eagle as well. There might be...
I can live with that.
The MS 66 Saint shown has what I would say is a tiny luster break on 1 high point. When I am talking about high point friction that makes a coin...
OK, I think I see the rounding of the rim on the upper obv in the heritage photos. Agreed--MS, and one outstanding jewel added to your PL set!...
This thread made me think of the Wells Fargo Hoard, 19,900 NM 1908 SAints brought back from Europe to the US in the 1990's. According to Gillio,...
I think it's a proof, if I'm allowed to disagree. It is very, very unusual to see such amazing detail on an MS trime. I might be otherwise...
