Yeah, more or less. Ask me at the end of the year ;) So far this year, I've really only bought 3 major coins (and a few smaller items). I've...
The strike really isn't that bad, especially compared to some of the New Orleans mint coins. There is some weakness in the hair, but I'm ok with...
I'll agree - your photos make it look like it has split serifs. I'd say its probably an RPM. CONECA doesn't currently have any RPMs listed for 70S...
Yours looks like it was stabbed repeatedly with a sharp object.
Stack's website sucks on all platforms and browsers. This is well known. On some, it is workable, on some it doesn't function at all.
With the new pictures, and COA, I'll agree that the coin is different. As for value: the coin you originally bid on was a 62-63PL (I don't think...
I was bidding on a 3cs Wednesday on Heritage, a 64PL. Normally its a few hundred dollars in UNC, so I bid a couple grand.... sold for $7k....
I'm not convinced you received a different coin. The sellers photos are clearly taken in an optimistic manner - what you see in hand is almost...
I don't think it has what it takes to make AU, but the pictures are tricky to interpret. Look at the flatness of her leg, breast, and head. I'd be...

GEM BU MS-70++++++ INCREDIBLE BRIGHT CHERRY RED ORIGINAL CENT. $256000. Buy it now.
Yes, but that wouldn't account for the very bright reverse. While an AU/EF coin will have luster in protected areas and toning/patina in other...
Ebay has been acting goofy for the last 10 years. Oh, you weren't talking about management and policies? No, I haven't had any technical issues.
Unfortunately, that coin has been harshly cleaned (probably polished). It's genuine, and it has EF details - but it has definitely been cleaned....
Yes. The appearance falls into two types, based on which type of machine we are talking about. Read the following links for more information, and...
Yup, that is definitely machine doubling. For the purposes of education: what are the key diagnostics you notice on this coin which make you say...
The dealer is going to be your fastest way to sell, usually. But, he has overhead costs and must make a profit. The end collector is going to...
They fall into a grey area somewhere in-between. They were made at the mint, but they weren't supposed to be made. Some collectors accept them,...
