Well now, that's a spread AU to MS-67. How about you both try again? This is in a problem-free holder.
Franklin varieties rarely garner much of a premium - especially little known ones. There is almost no one who collects Franklin's by die variety,...
I don't mind fingerprints on a 64 coin, or some 65's. If the fingerprint blends in to the toning in an attractive or intriguing manner, it can...
Several points: 1. The grade you choose should be a function of the money you have to spend. If you are looking to buy slabbed, you should...
This topic was discussed not too long ago on the NGC boards - I highly recommend checking this thread out. A veritable pantheon of numismatic...
Wow. Consider me jealous on an epic scale. That nickel is beautiful. Do you own it? If you don't mind me asking, where, when, how much, etc., did...
I saw the coin also, and I passed mostly because of the giant spot in front of the eagle's face. I have absolutely no problem with the toning on...
Saw this Susie B. on the Bay for a price that I considered cheap, so I impulse bought it. You will either guess it right away, or be baffled by my...
Congratulations Duke on your find!
I also believe it to be NT. I don't really like toned Ikes - of course, I don't like Ike's to begin with. Shane over on the NGC boards showed me...
Theoretically, the surfaces should have the same composition. The zinc pennies are coated with pure copper.
It depends. Your clip isn't very large, and its circulated, so its probably not worth more than $10. For everything you need to know, and quite a...
I speak with some knowledge of FBLs - searching mint sets will probably not get you very far. They are however the best place to look for FBL's...
Spartan, what is your budget? That really will determine your grade range. I too just completed my Registry set of Franklin's (linked in my sig...
Good guesses on the grades everyone. They are all graded MS-65, but the first two I believe have a good shot at 66 (the 1941 especially - strong...
Was lucky enough to buy these two shillings. The first is a Charles I, the second William III. NGC calls the Charles I a F-12, but I think it...
I got off work Friday afternoon as early as possible, and had a very pleasant drive down to Orlando (about 6 hours). The afternoon was sunny, and...
I didn't buy it, but one of the forum members on the NGC chat boards is a previous owner of it. Needless to say, his collection is amazing.
I just bought my recently shown 22 Peace toner from RcToners, and it arrived in the mail today. The pictures were great, but the coin is even...
I think they are both NT, and both very attractive. I'd have to see the 1922 in hand to be sure, but I think it would be a tough choice if I could...
