@jwitten, Ah, maybe a little trickery on my part. Remember, I bought this raw. That was my guess as to the grade and was labeled as such. I...
I bought this one raw and it was just graded. Can you guess the grade? Some helpful hints. In hand, this coin can best be described as...
That's an interesting VAM. I can't stop thinking though, that her nose is running. Sorry. BTW, for the price, I would have bought it as well.
1) Not interested in Moderns. 2) While I respect VAM'ers and their quest to identify die pairings, it's not my cup of tea. 3) I also don't...
I agree with the others...pass.
This was also my favorite of your purchases. Many other beauties too! I'll bet you had a blast! Even if that CBH was dipped prior to grading,...

A pair for my type set: Until I get this in-hand, I'm doubtful the reverse makes cameo. [IMG] [IMG] Really liked the toning on this one. [IMG] [IMG]
No, I've never submitted to them, nor do I plan to. I did just purchase a 1964 Accented Hair Kennedy PF66* that has the "QA" sticker on it. I...
Ditto. I haven't handled a lot of Trade Dollars, so I'll be interested to hear the opinions of those that have more experience. This is just...
@iPen , I like that Stone Mountain a lot, just judging from the pictures you posted. If you do send it in, let us know how it graded.
No worries. Thought I was going loony...lol.
Help me. Where on the 65-D Peace Dollar is the logo? Not being caddy, just asking a serious question?
