2 for 2, I guess. The strike weakness on the reverse shouldn't be mistaken for wear. I was looking at those spots closely, and didn't see any of...
I would call the coin XF45. A little too much wear for AU for my tastes. Eagle's breast is a high point of the design and will show wear...
Will 3 and 4 be distinguishable from each other outside the packaging? If not, there's no reason to order quantites of circulation strikes...
The indentation on the eagle's breast is simply a heavy hit from the edge of another coin. I can't tell if the mint mark is an S/S from the...
At thousands of coins per week, a single real photographer isn't going to do the trick. They have to produce assembly line, yet consistent...
I'm at 64 on this one. Attractive coin, "original skin," no big marks on Liberty's face, but some strike weakness on the reverse, and the right...
They actually look like the coins were clamped into a lathe and the reeds were milled off.
It's in an older NGC holder. They've been doing PL for a long time. I'll probably give PCGS a chance to agree.
Just got this in the mail today. NGC 64PL. I like it! [ATTACH]
True. I know I've seen this stuff before, though. Now I just have to figure out where.
I'm thinking of this kind of stuff. I don't know how many are specifically Columbian Expo designs, but I've seen a few pieces....
Voted no, didn't bother looking. 1916 cents that are uncirculated often come with very sharp details and rims.
There's tons of Columbian Expo coin art glass out there. I imagine this is yet another piece. Pretty cool.
Sheldon numbers apply to large cents 1793-1814. The Noyes books are considered the ones to have for this series. Other resources include NGC's...
Indeed you do, and I think we'll find that people will develop that experience as the experiment runs its course, although not perfectly.
ANA standards don't cover photographs of uncirculated coins very well.
Also the 1822 $5. I got to play with a few of his coins when I photographed them for Tony Terranova. I'll dig up a few pictures tonight and post...
Another thing we may observe is that The Hive converges on TPG grades with increasing accuracy as this experiment goes on.
65 was my guess, too. The luster is likely much better than what you see, as it is my experience that slab shots by Heritage, taken with a rather...
At least you can reholder if buffing them out fails, as I don't perceive there's an "old holder" premium there. Still, that's a mistake that'll...
Separate names with a comma.
