Wow! Interestingly enough, I'm looking for an MS63 example for my type set right now. I've seen some nice, clean-surfaced 1921 Peace Dollars in...
I was just describing what toning was in general. Not directing it particular towards this coin... Did I misread the question? -Brian
Due to me?! Why?! :too-funny: -Brian
Oxidation. It is caused when the coin is stored incorrectly or in a moist environment. It is a type of "rust" that developes on the surfaces of...
Just keep studying, buddy. :) -Brian
No RPM's listed in the CPG for that date/mintmark. What most likely happened is the mintmark was hit at a certain angle, pushing the lower region...
Funny you say that, illini, because I was debating whether to post the Illinois commem. also! They are both my absolute favorites, and I'm not...
Haha! Yes. Definitely one of the more "interesting" eagle designs. :too-funny: -Brian
Hey CoinTalkers! Just thought I'd create this thread for a little bit of fun. I was wondering what your guys' favorite heraldic eagle design for a...
Either looks double-struck in collar or is a misaligned die. It is most likely the misaligned die. Infact, I just came across a 1997 Kennedy Half...

Thanks for the pic! Nice coin! I think what would most likely make mine a Fine (12 or possible 15) is that the entire motto is still legible. That...
Yeah, when I purchased it I, myself, was torn between a 12 and a 15. Knowing my luck, I'd send it to PCGS and it'd get a 12. I thought it may be...
Interesting "guide" you're using there. :whistle: -Brian
Fairly simple. I'd just like some more opinions. :) ... [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Thank You in Advance, -Brian
Does anyone besides me think that the "CC" mintmark is a little "off"? The patina is that of many chinese cast or replica coins I have seen on...
Mmmmmm, IMHO, something looks at little off. Cleaned and retoned? Cast/counterfeit coin? Whatever it is, the shape of the reverse lettering...
I have a dealer friend who just found a 1901-S Barber 25c. (low grade- not even a G04) while searching through a big, what he thought had to had...
