Gradeflation is real. There. I said it. Now shoot me ;)
Any good dates in there?
The coin shop could have called it literally any one of those options, and I would not be surprised. Usually, they would have it priced...

Even if the black comes off (which, I don't think it will), you'll be left with the results of the corrosion. And, the reverse appears to have...
I think this one has enough hits to limit it to 61. It is a common coin, and it isn't until you get to the 64-65 level that you really start to...
When/why did they choose to go with Ft. Moultrie instead of Ft. Sumter? I'm guessing the PC-Police have run amok again.... Oh no! Ft. Sumter was...
I'm assuming the "they" you are referring to are the spots on the obverse? It looks like someone sneezed on the coin, unfortunately. The rest of...
Luster is strong, the strike is average. Eye appeal is hurt a little bit by the tarnish on the reverse. The fields look remarkably clean, but the...

I'll take the cynical approach: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'll believe you found it in a roll - but I'm going to hesitate...
I agree that this coin appears to be a proof. It has quite a few marks, and the haze is unattractive. The acetone should remove that. Once the...
Yup, some good old honest wear on that one. I think it might actually be PR-1. For a dollar, I'd say you did quite well - but it probably isn't...
Not bitter at all. Just realistic (which can sometimes come across as bitter or mean). I don't intend to - I intend to come across as straight...
Are you looking for a grade-by-grade breakdown with pictures? The ANA's grading Guide is the "standard," and QDB's "Grading Coins by Photographs"...
It took you that long? You're slipping...
The explanation for this coin: it is a dirty, circulated, average dollar coin. One of the criticisms of the "golden" coins was that they tended to...
