Because, why not? After we've had a few guesses, I'll talk more about the coin. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@Insider , I haven't seen a MAD Ike sell, but MADs usually don't get a large premium, because they are common (less so on Ikes, but still not an...
There are some pretty significant hits to the bell. You can see them in the truview. By itself, the hit on the cheek wouldn't drop it to 64. I'm...
I know that it is a really tiny segment of the market, a small niche hidden away in the corner of Africa. But, I'm a big fan of Moroccan coinage....
No. These are "magicians coins" and are made from two genuine coins.
They are better than raw, true. But the number of problem and misgraded coins is much higher in ANACS and ICG. I would not recommend a beginner...
That's why I went with a 55. You could split the difference and call it a 55+ ;)
Impossible to tell from those pics. Probably 64 or 65.
From the TruView, it looks 65FBL (it meets PCGS's lax "standards," but it wouldn't be FBL at NGC). From the slab pics, 64 looks like the right...
Machine damage.

I've never seen one of these slabbed. The cost of grading and error attribution really isn't worth it. However, that is a nice MAD.
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but every single one of those raw coins has problems. I don't know who you are buying from, but you should...
Okbustchaser has fully described the term "sight-unseen." This isn't just his interpretation, or his opinion of the matter. This is the...
I enjoyed the New Orleans mint. There was a book recently published "The Numismatourist," that talks about all of the significant numismatic...
From those pics, I'd bid 55. It appears attractive, but the lack of luster in the fields is making me lean towards a brush of wear. The high...
These are worth only slightly over their silver value. Certainly not $10. Recently completed Ebay sales appear to be in the $7-$8 range.
I'm sorry if I offended you. I wasn't talking about you - I was answering/expounding on what Dave had said. I wasn't directing this to you...
That is precisely the point. There is a scratch behind her head. We can agree on that. The question you are asking is, is that scratch bad enough...
I can't say for sure (grading proofs from pics is nearly impossible). However, with that disclaimer, it looks like it has a good shot (from teh...
Separate names with a comma.
