Nice PF 3-cent'er! I've been looking for the "right" one for a while now. I seem to find obverses that I like with weakly struck reverses, or...
I forgot to mention, this usually happens when toning is involved. I'm not talking Monster rainbow toning either.
I've had to take that same approach on some coins I've wanted to add. I put in my highest bid and watch it get blown away. I use the same...
@jwitten, nice pick up. Also, I really like the other one you linked as well. Good luck in your endeavors to find that coin. I have no idea how...

I agree with your assessment. I have it at 64 as well.

I agree that it's really a personal decision. A Proof is going to cost you much more if you want one with eye appeal. For your budget, I'd pick...
No, I don't think that coin is worth 90% more than what you bought. Be happy you found a very nice 64 DPL fairly priced. Like @Morgandude11...
Usually when you see this big of a premium, the buyer believes it's under-graded. After viewing the coin, I do see a rather clean cheek area, but...
How about the "Weeping Washie"!
I'm not 100% sure, but I assume it is. I have the PCGS Price Guide app as well as CoinFacts on my phone. As for HA, I haven't really noticed the...
When buying these key dates, I look at "details" graded coins. A light cleaning or some faint hairlines, no problem. IMO, the one listed in the...
