Yeah, I really meant harshly cleaned. Tell ya what, I'm going to post 2 sets of pics. You guys tell me if either set looks to have been harshly...
Here are pics of a '48 and a '48-D. Compare the areas I mentioned to the pics in that auction. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] See any difference ?
It's possible the spots were caused by PVC, but I think it improbable. The coin looks to be in a PCGS slab, and usually they are pretty good at...
Your method works, but it could still be improved upon by establishing relationships with dealers. And improved upon significantly. And it's not...
It's hard to tell when the mint mark is H or I because the letters look the same right side up and upside down. But, if it were another mint mark...
merlin - look at all 3 of those coins on the reverse where it says Half Dollar. Pay particular attention to the L.
This rarely happens to me, I can't make up my mind whether you should buy all 3 of those coins, or none of them. And no, it has nothing to do with...

trey as I've said a thousand times before, it's so simple it's pathetic. And it has nothing to do with plastic. Only buy from trusted and...
That depends on what you use on the coin. But more than that, the only coins ever run through the sniffer are those that are submitted under the...
trey - You are like a lot of people. The thing driving you is the urge to gamble, it happens all the time. But just like with any gambling, few...
John - While I understand what you are saying it also important for you to understand that quality of strike has nothing to do with whether or...
First of all you need to understand something. Unlike most people I differentiate between the two terms - cleaned, and harshly cleaned. Cleaned...
trey I would be very careful about buying this coin. The '59 in VF30 is a $1,000 coin, problem free of course. The price indicates the scarcity....
bg - If it were me, I would not send it in for grading either. The coin appears to be XF or low AU at best to my eyes. It has at some time been...
