That is a very nice MS-63. The cheek is fairly smooth, but there are a few too many little ticks, and the luster is not strong, which it typical...
I have used Eagle holders for years, but they are not perfect. Years ago the pages were too brittle and fell apart when you took the coins out of...
I would say MS-63, but no higher. An MS-65 would need to have fewer marks and a lot more luster.
The obverse is MS-66, the reverse is a weak MS-65. That's why I voted MS-65
It looks like somebody tried to lift the spot on the reverse. In the old days, that used to be called "improperly cleaned" and got a body bag. Now...
When you post a coin on the registry, you can also post two pictures and a write-up about each coin. I won "best presented set" the first time for...
In addition to that, wasted money. All you get for being #1 most times is a citation on the site and a piece of paper. I did get a plaque one year...
The Chinese have counterfeited the 1958 Wheat Cent. I can't think of anything that would more inane to counterfeit than that. They have a value of...
Most of the early coins that the TPGs have graded at the low numbers are atrocious. I think that AG-3 is bit low for this dime. These coins were...
I would give it a net grade of Good. Some design aspects have VG sharpness, but minor defects lower the grade. Having said that it would be a...
Finding attractive examples of 1811 half cent varieties is hard. The R-4 one is really tough. When I was collecting this series, in the early...
Most collectors want these coins in MS-64 and better. This is especially true in this weak market where prices are low. This coin will never be...
1846 is a wicked tough date in this series. I am sorry to say this, but the date does not look right on that one. There should not be a crosslet...
This Trade Dollar is graded MS-63. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It has too many marks for that grade, but with “grade-flatiron” in force, it’s always possible.
My first reaction was that it was going to be something the Chinese had cooked up. I have a 1909 American Silver Eagle they made. To think that...
The Philadelphia Mint made Proof Trade Dollars, including some Proof only dates, but none were made at the San Francisco Mint.
I guess you won't have been buying from me when I was dealer. I always checked the Gray Sheet to see where the current price was. A couple of...
I voted MS-63. Some people would call this coin "a blazer." It got there from the fact that it was struck with new or possibly recently...
I was in Orlando last week and not on my desktop computer. I saw a string where collectors were talking about very large fins in a coin or token....
