These pictures are good. A few comments: 1.) While the lens will focus up close, you actually want to pull back. With the lens further back,...
I'd call it a high end 64, and it may get a 65 on a good day. It isn't worth sending in (and it doesn't appear to be PL).
I have been thoroughly unimpressed with Amazon's coin section. It is even worse than Ebay when it comes to overpriced junk. If you want wheat...
Your set looks like a proof set. I'm guessing the Kennedy was either in really nice condition (high grade/cameo/etc.) or it was an accented hair...
I... I don't know what happened here.
I'll be there Friday and Saturday. I always drive in Thursday, and leave mid-afternoon on Saturday after the NGC luncheon.
I like the color of it. There are a couple of marks that would put me off (especially the large one on the reverse above "One"), but overall it is...
Coin looks genuine to me. The mintmark looks ok. I'd grade it AU-53.
No. This is a beat up penny.
As Paul said above, its at least $30, plus shipping and insurance (which is often $15 or $20). That is assuming, of course, that you are already a...
Definitely mutilated post mint. Worth a quarter in the right place (it won't fit in most vending machines...)
No, machine doubling is not considered an error. If anything, it is usually considered post-strike damage. However, it will not affect the grade...
This is a coin which has spent time in a parking lot, giving it a very large number of nicks and scrapes. It should be spent.
To clarify some of the confusion in this thread: In 1986, the mint reported using the single squeeze method of producing hubs on cent dies. They...
Yes, the area you circled definitely appears to be reed marks (a form of post mint damage). These are considered part of normal wear, and will...
Be aware that variety designation is very expensive, at both services. If you've already overpaid for the coin, do you really want to add another...
The funny thing is, on some series machine doubling is collectible and will raise the value. We don't talk about that much here, because it is...
That appears to be an extreme case of machine doubling. Die deterioration won't have the crisp shelf-like second image appearance, it would...
That is not a part of the clash, but part of the manufacturing process. The MintMark was a second punch that was applied to the die separately. As...
I will buy any EF-40 bust half you ever want to sell at $100, especially early dates or overdates. The 1812/1 is going to be worth more than a...
