Very nice set! I like how well matched they all in terms of grade and color. Very attractive. It's also really cool that you were able to find...

I'm at G6 on this one. It's stronger than a 4, but it doesn't have what it takes for VG.
Well, I significantly overpaid at $440. I think I agree with most of your guesses that today this coin should be around $350. I think @Lehigh96...
I guess I don't know how the PCGS census works differently, then. I don't go over there.
Strike. Luster. Wear. Eye Appeal. Surface Preservation. If you understand these 5 basic building blocks, you will be able to grade any coin. In...
If you go to each coin's page in the Coin Explorer, they've got pictures linked from the Registry. If you go to the certification verification,...
Kurt. Seriously dude. Say it nicely, or shut up.
Sounds like you are paying a fair price for a great coin, Marco. Congrats. Selling to a collector is always going to net a higher price,...
Haha, I saw that this morning. While he certainly engages in some numismyth, it's still entertaining. And it's cool that he's a collector. Maybe...
@ilmcoins Is it possible to get more pictures of the coin? I think that we've got enough to say this is worth submitting, but some apparently...

Nope, not at all. Wear is the only factor in the grade of circulated coins. I'm getting a lot more push-back on this than I thought... Very well....
Nah, I'm all for Miss Liberty gracing our coins again, but I want new designs. The old designs were interesting, beautiful, or reflective of their...
Are there any countries with designs that you find particularly attractive? Or that has a history that you find interesting? Perhaps somewhere...
These appear quite large. I'm guessing they're a bit larger than a silver dollar? Always cool to pick up some really rare pieces, and that first...
That yours? The color and originality of that piece is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous! Could you tell use more about it? Hard to read the...
Haha, fair enough. I'm not EAC grading though, that stuff is crazy. Contact marks definitely affect the value, though.
Since baseball has opened up the floor, I'll go! This is an NGC MS-66* FBL. Luster is much stronger than my images show: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Contact marks do not affect the grade of circulated coins. Only the amount of wear. This is a borderline XF/AU based on the wear. This is also...
