I voted AT. The obverse had me going a little, but the overall look and the darker spot on the reverse prompted me to vote AT.
For a lot of collectors, the thrill is in the hunt. Once the hunt is over, they tend to lose interest. I know a lot of collectors who sell After...
Okay, here is my 1796 half dollar in Fine-15. I had hoped to get a VF, but that didn't work out the way I had hoped. This is the lowest grade coin...
I would not get involved with that piece based upon those photographs. As others have said, it looks polished or overexposed to coverup bag marks.
I have a special interest in the Dahlonega, Charlotte and New Orleans Mints in that order. That’s why I have spent some significant money on some...
I am glad this turned out to be okay. I looked at it, couldn’t see anything wrong and thought that I must be slipping. :wideyed:
Tomorrow... I am on an iPad.
WOW! Great coin! My 1796 is only a Fine-15 and not nearly as nice as that. The 1797 is reputed to be tougher than the 1796 in the no problem grades.
I have tried to key in on the on date. Here are the photos. Real coin, from PCGS "Coin Facts" [ATTACH] Coin in fake slab. [ATTACH] 1856...
The Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle Half Dollar is the most common silver type coin from this era. Very low grade examples are actually scarce because...
I love the Draped Bust design too. Back in the early 1970s I purchased an 1805 dime in high grade, now in an AU-58 holder. That got me hooked. I...
Unfortunately there are people who know nothing more than what is written on the slab. They don’t have the expertise to question what is in the...
I learned when I was a dealer, if the COA is missing from a Proof set or modern commemorative coin set, you get less money. You can poo-poo that...
I am sorry, but you pictures are too small to make any comments. I would be concerned about getting these three coins for "around $300." That is...
I don't think that a REAL 1856 Flyer in MS-65 has sold to anyone for $70k. I've never own one, so I could be wrong, but that price seems way too...
If you are selling that one for EF-45 money, going by the photos, I am a buyer. If the coin is in a 45 holder, it's a crack-out candidate. I...
Francis Marian bothered the British; Nathanial Greene sucked them almost dry. Marian was a great patriot, but Greene made the far greater...
Good sharpness, environmental damage, cleaned.
I’m the high grader, AU-55. I am assuming that the less than flattering toning has not been called “environmental damage.”
These items do not interest me at all. I had no interest in the gold version of the Mercury Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter and Walking Liberty...
