If you're just testing your eye, learn to see the other markers besides FG. To me the easiest is whether the A in States is centered or not....
Franklin Mint just got a new idea.
I suppose the Franklin Mint could have just bought one of the 3000+ medallions and used that silver instead. That's nothing! I've been in space...
And yet upwards of 440 Robbins medallions were flown on each Apollo mission. By my math that's about 10 pounds worth....
Same. Seems like there's a ferrule in there or something.
Wait, they also minted coins in Charlotte and Dahlonega. https://www.money.org/a-brief-history-of-confederate-coins/

Not an expert collector but in my capacity as a non-expert, I say leave it alone! That tiny spot is not worth worrying about and won't affect the...

A UNC Details - Spot Removed sold on Heritage in 2021 for $960. To me yours has a bit better eye appeal except for the nasty scrubbing below the...
"they have to be something that YOU bought" as defined on post #1 so I guess not. Otherwise I'd have a lot more to post! Grandpa had some cool...
I didn't catch that until now. I think they used a post-1901 Barber dime reverse, which is funny.
This. It's surprising how many people don't know that ebay policy prohibits even legally marked replica coins. And yet I've gotten the same...
Very interesting as always. Here's the PCGS FR02 I used above. That one has the die clash in the ear which probably made it easier....
I have gotten that response the past few times I've reported. First there is an email thanking me and giving me an incident number. I think the...
Posted elsewhere already but I'm bored. Got in change at the beer store. [ATTACH]
That's awful. I no longer waste my time reporting these. Fleecebay won't do anything unless someone with an inside connection reports it.
