I'd call them like this: 1846 - VG, very rare key date, definitely submit 1833 - VF-35, I don't know the variety. If it's a rare variety, submit,...
I don't do it for all the GTGs, especially ones with not-so-great pictures. That is extremely undergraded at 63!
It's unusual to see modern commems with toning like that. Any idea how it's been stored for the last 25 years?
Strike: Average for the date, but incomplete details. A 66 for strike - those incomplete details just can't get a 67 for the strike score....
If it is such a rare variety, I'd suggest submitting it to NCS to remove the corrosion, and then submit it to your favorite TPG. The value will be...
Most of the coin looks environmentally damaged. Given the color and the encrustations, I'm more inclined to think buried in the ground than...
Nice variety. I had to go look it up, but I noticed there are 5 different D/S varieties in 1938. That's crazy! Someone got written up for that...

Yes, I think this is PL. And I agree with your grade. As you are probably starting to realize, low grade PL Columbians are rather common. There...
Best single price guide is the Heritage auction archives. However, when I'm researching a purchase, I'll use Krause, NGC, PCGS, Heritage, CDN,...
They're still PR-67 if you submit them to SEGS.
The reverse looks like a tapered planchet, but the obverse is confusing. I would have expected the effects to be more... tapered. The obverse...
Collector. Author. Sometimes teacher, sometimes learner. And always an arguer.
You're less likely to question it if it looks used and beat up. I've heard of some of them intentionally wearing the coin to make an AU...
Pretend like I don't collect early copper. What is a gripped edge?
