Yes, George is the only one with decent color (and even then only on the obverse - the reverse looks rather dark), but he will not grade very...
Just got this one in the mail, and when I put it under the loupe discovered there is a sweet Triple Die Obverse. All 1962 Franklins (Philly,...
Hot dog, that's amazing.
I have roughly 725 items (counting a folder full of coins as one item). Roughly 250-300 of these are foreign (although, the majority numberwise...
Your pictures are attached, but they are WAAAAAY too small to be able to tell you anything.
Speaking mainly for my area of expertise, Franklin halves, I would say the market is down. Franklin prices seem like a strong bargain to where...
Wow. That's mighty harsh GDJSMP. What are you seeing in the pics that makes you think its MS-63? I see: strong strike, bold luster, mark free...
If you could post pics of the coin, that would help.... but odds are STRONGLY against you on this one. 1961 is a very, very hard date. MS-65's are...
Well, I paid $85 for it - even with the sellers crappy pics. The 1955 usually has an average strike, nothing special, nothing bad. When it is...

Exactly my first thought also. I like it, although I generally prefer mine a little darker.
Yup. Really frustrating since I wanted to start my Christmas shopping this weekend.
Unfortunately, my first reaction was also AT.
Let's play a hypothetical: Assume for a minute that you were in the market for one of these. You stumble upon this listing on Ebay - a 1955 NGC...
Last time I impulse bought something, I came home with this:
I primarily collect Franklins. My favorite coins in that series are the ones that are the hardest to find well struck, but which I happen to own...
The answer is: in all likelihood - no. Unless it is nicely toned (original, natural toning) it is not worth much, and chances are your dime is...
New rolls are, in general, not a very good way to find double dies. What you really want is Lincoln cent rolls from the 60's and 70's - they are...
I can understand the appeal of a type set, and I am doing one type set (more later), but most of my sets are intended to be complete series. My...
Separate names with a comma.
