The Walker is by far my favorite on regular issue US coinage. I don't track modern bullion or commems, so I have no idea what those might be....
You need the Morgan guys for this question, if they have their own scale. Summoning @messydesk
The obverse of the D is very nice. What does your 56D look like in your A folder, if this is your B coin?
I like it at 63RB. If it was an American coin, I'd say 64.
I voted 55. Realistically, anything which is less than 60 would be acceptable. Anyone who thinks this grades UNC needs to read my book.
I don't have my Overton handy, but I'd call it EF-45. There is a lot of luster present, and there are obvious strike irregularities on the...
We have plenty of them in Charleston, SC. Up north, y'all have to have sloped roofs for that snow nonsense. Here, many of the old houses have flat...
Here's one you don't see all that often. I think I'll go with 64 as well.
I like the grade at 65. Well done on the purchasing. The gullah in the south make some really good goat curry dishes. You have to travel way out...
The bad news: this new coin has been cleaned, and is not original. The good news: it has a higher details grade than your first coin. Your first...
Not sure about Russian coins. But I've always had very high success (buying and selling) British coins from Davisson's.
Are red candles and the sacrifice of a goat required? If so.... better light up the barbie. Can't let the goat go to waste.
Haha! That's taking it back a bit. 95% of posters here probably have no idea what you're talking about! ;)
Storing it in a paper envelope is a common storage method. The windowsill just adds heat and humidity - sometimes that can accelerate toning which...
If the die surface was the shape it was supposed to be, this wouldn't happen. However, they were working with primitive steel - as they heated it...
If there are enough marks hiding in the toning, could be 65. If the luster is strong enough, could be 66. It's hard to tell from those...
It sorta might resemble one, but it definitely ain't one. Definitely a cast counterfeit. You can see the seam around the edge where the two...
You misunderstand me: dipping it has damaged it. It has no luster left, because it was dipped in its past (before I bought it).
I think that is the whole point - dipping will remove that layer, and is thus not conservation. That's the difference between conserving and...
What do you mean "terminal?" There was no luster left - the coin was a flat, dull, matte surface. I don't know how much more terminal you can get.
