I'd like to do autographed versions. However, since this is a self-published book, they only print a copy when you order a copy. I don't have a...
65?
I don't see anything on that coin that would indicate acetone will help. Acetone removes organic contaminants - PVC, tobacco smoke, etc. The dark...
Larry, is that a Proof? Or just really well struck? I think I'm going with 64 on this one.
Luster is strong, strike is average. Fields are hard to see in these pictures, which will tend to affect the grade. There are way too many hits on...

I'm 29 and have been collecting for 28 years.
I can tell that it is somewhere above EF-40. Unfortunately, those pictures don't allow me to grade it with any more precision than that.
Unfortunately, its a counterfeit and is worth about 25 cents.
You forgot the option in your poll "There is no possible way to grade the coin from those pictures"
Those are beautiful. Some of those, however, reinforce the idea that the Star is not reliable, and is sometimes applied to coins that may or may...
I don't see it...
