I find it really funny that anyone else in the southeast would schedule another show this weekend. I would think FUN would pretty much soak it all up.
There is a very strong strike in the center with weakness around the edges. This looks a lot like PMD which has been made to look like a die...
Like this? While this cost considerably more than $1250, I also figured now was a really good time to get one. However, this definitely fits into...
Ebay is going to be your best bet. Try searching for the specific date/mintmark that you want, find the best coin for the best price, and buy it.
Are you building a collection, or are you building an accumulation? If you want to buy random stuff to accumulate silver and gold, then it doesn't...
Try and interpret the pictures based on the quality of the image and the types of lights he may be using. For example, in the obverse pic (at...
This is very good news actually - it shows progress as a collector. When we buy coins, we tend to over-value and over-grade what we own. Realizing...
iPen - if you ever see the same effect on the mintmark and the date at the same time, it is extremely likely that it is machine doubling. There...
I would add the following questions: Do you like the coin, or are you interested in it just because you think its a good buy? Does the purchase...
If that is a die clash (which, it could be), the area is so incredibly tiny that it would hardly even be noticeable. This coin here (not mine, but...
AU-58. There is definite rub on her breast and the eagle's leg.
I like the Bust Half at 40. It is really hard to get a read on that nickel.
Sure they do. However, this one will not get a star - it shows no cameo contrast, and the eye appeal is only average at best.
I was gonna say 64. The reverse looks pretty nice, but the obverse is so beat up that it brings the grade down. If I were to split grade this, I'd...
Yeah, this one looks like it could be a DDR. It is pretty minor, and I'm guessing nobody collects them so it doesn't add value, but its minorly...
Gonna call that one a 53, I think. It looks very nice.
Well, yet again you are wrong. First - Bugs Bunny Franklins are business strikes, not proofs. Second, the *original* cameo effect on a die of...
In 2011, he auctioned his private collection of halves through Stacks. That's where I got this one. It is graded 64PL.
The first picture is pretty good. The second picture is just garish and cartoon-like. It looks overprocessed - frankly, if I see a picture like...
No, I like it as a 65. It doesn't have the "flash" and "pop" I'd expect for a 66.
Separate names with a comma.
