64? I like the color on the obverse.
It looks like, based on the slab shot, my assumption about the luster was wrong. Because the luster is only average, the grade is 63.
Well, I wasn't alive yet. So, I certainly have no "memory" of this ;)
Very nice. Lustrous, and the color is good. Keep it in the rattler. It is accurately graded, and attractive.
Haha, what does that one cost? $4k? I actually like the previous one better. The swinging arm on this one would obscure the lights, and lead to...
That's never going to happen. We told him that it was post mint damage, and he submitted it anyways. He was told that it was post mint damage....
I think what you are seeing is from a weak strike. It doesn't look like wear to me. Does it have wear, or doesn't it?
That is a very attractive cent, Thad. The Zincolns of 82 were plagued by plating problems. Nearly every single one had bubbles, and some of the...
What I really want is something that I can program to go through a movement similar to the turn of your wrist as you rotate a coin under the...
I am going to make 2 assumptions here: 1. The coin is in an NGC slab. 2. The luster is strong and attractive in hand. Based on those...
Can't get any feel for the luster, but the coin looks like a 64 to me. No FBL.
I realize that they are different sites, with different rules, and different moderators. But, I like that NGC will tell us why people are banned...
Dang, that looks awesome. I've been thinking about building one of these for a while now, for exactly this purpose. So.... those are really...
I wouldn't say your question was "inept," I would more likely say it was "imprecise." Well, most of my Lincoln "collection" is a date set, raw...
Very interesting, thanks!
Looks accurately graded to me. Gradeflation has turned this accurately graded 65 into a modern overgraded 66.
Nice find. A very clear RPM.
What do you mean by "the best someone could do?" Do you mean highest graded? No. Check the pops - there are 68's. Do you mean highest priced?...
I agree that the 1812 was overgraded slightly. I like it better at 40. There needs to be some luster present for a 45 - and I don't see any at...
I attended the Heritage auction last night, electronically. I was able to buy a coin which I am very excited about, and will start a thread about...
