Pretty much all Jeffs are weakly struck, but there are few exceptions. As to your question, it helps if you have a basic understanding of the...
It is a bit unusual for me to "take the other side" if you will, but I think what some of you are seeing that you are calling rub/light wear is...
For an 1880-S that coin is not even a '64 let alone a 66. They screwed up on that one - big time. And so did CAC. The early S mint Morgans, '79,...
A bit weakly struck to make it to 66 for me but I'd expect them to grade it that.
Can't see the coins well enough to say Jim. Two kinds of risk here though, the coins are moderns and ICG was well known, even in the beginning,...
Might be the pics, but based on what I can see I'd say the Buff has been dipped to death and is ungradeable. The quarter, something about it just...
Oh there are many stories, some true and some not. Some people made money at first - back then word didn't get around as quickly as it does today...
When a well known or even famous collection is sold it is almost a certainty that the coins will bring a premium over the current market just...
Yeah, but it's only 40 miles or so from the ocean. Close enough.
Uhhh, no. Until 1962 the 1903-O Morgan was the undisputed King of Morgan dollars. More rare by far than any other Morgan with maximum estimates of...
It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, or what you say - somebody somewhere will take issue with it. That's a cold hard fact of life. It IS...
Yeah, and since NGC is in Florida, the Philly mint and the West Point mint both being close to the shore as well, that must be it o_O Of course...
And near the rim, and around the head, to a lesser degree the date area. And it is logical to assume that it was previously in the left field area...
Kinda reminds me of the 1903-O Morgan. It's happened before, it'll happen again.
With more experience under your belt you'll get to recognize post mint damage when you see it. Stuff like what is on your coin is minor, but there...
No truth to that at all. PCGS even has an open reward of $25,000 (and has had for years) to the first person who can successfully show them how to...
Yes it is common to find them anywhere in the eastern US. As for where it and when it was minted, Spain, sometime in the 1720's.
Yes, it is. Coins change in the slab, that's a fact of life. Copper coins that were graded Red, turn Red Brown or even Brown. Bullion coins,...
The coin is a problem coin, with a double problem. The toning got to the point that it was harming the coin, that's the corrosion, and then...
Change :D Seriously, for the most part they just called them cut pieces. And the smaller denomination coins were rarely cut up because of most...
