1. BD? 2. As a novice, are you joking or serious about the covellite? If it is that, is this a common occurence? If it is rare, is it possibly...
Almost certainly cleaned. The color does not look right - at the center, or around the edges. To be fair, you also appear to have a white...
I don't see anything in the pictures that is an immediate red flag - but those are terrible pictures. Based on what I can see, I'd tentatively...
It looks to be a weakly struck AU. The pictures are a little hard to interpret, but I think there should be more hair detail for the amount of...
Your coin appears to be a heavily worn example of a normally struck coin. It is not a broadstrike.
If I had to guess, I'd say you got it for that price because it is not actually EF - it is VF-30 at best. It is attractive and doesn't have any...
Lets be generous and say that's about a 30 degree arc, in the k5 position. Given that a circle has 360 degrees, there's about a 1:12 chance that...
Sure, there may have been a bill. But there is absolutely zero chance of it happening. So the fact that it is happening would be a rumor.
That is a rumour. It is a silly rumour, but its the stuff of numis-myth and legend.
Do you have before and after pictures to prove/illustrate that? I personally have submitted about a dozen coins to NCS and have been well pleased...
Haha. Hahahaahahah. Hahahaahahaha. Oh, that's a good one.
Yes, the 1943D usually comes well struck. And yes, that coin is a typical example of the date. And yes, that would be considered a Full Thumb example.
Well, its a crying shame that he ruined two perfectly good coins to make those counterfeits. At least we know what coins he destroyed, so we can...
For the uninitiated: what is interesting/special about these? That is, why did you want one so badly to purchase a porous/holed somewhat-low-grade...
I agree with your assessment. I'd put it at a low VF, and its too bad about the gouge in the field in front of her face. The rest of the coin...
45 might be a little high, but I am comfortable with this coin at 40. Look at the amount of luster left - I would expect to see that on an EF...
Very nice color on that piece, Brandon.
Let's just say I trust Heritage to do what they said, far more than I trust CAC to be consistent. If you are implying Heritage lied, then you...
Really? Well, I'll eat my hat now. Your pics really fooled me.
Cool, thanks. My problem is, I don't know *anything* about ancient coins. That's why I want something even more general than that - something...
