Wowzer. Coins and images are amazing! Did robec image your CircCams?
Literally by definition, this spot would disqualify the coin from earning a star. So I say hard NO. But as Doug likes to say, the TPG often...
I always liked circ cam coins like this, especially in half dollar size. It's a combination of seeing the broad outlines of the coins in...
No Star. Not exceptional toning, or PL enough, or special that I can see. Also rather baggy (per normal at 63), but I don't think that comes...
I would be curious to learn what ended up happening with the OP and PCGS. If they made things right, assuming they had evidence the coins were...
Unfortunate scratches on that proof. I would return them if you can, and buy a TPG (PCGS or NGC) graded example in the grade you can afford, or...
It doesn't look very gold colored to me, but coins do tone gold, champagne, etc. See my avatar. :D

Cleaned and polished. That is like a textbook example of a highly messed with coin.
To me that OP coin is not a 70. 69 is what I would say, for more than one reason. People went nuts with the money! :confused: I also...
I was AU53. I was thinking TPG was AU55. AU58 is just...not correct. :hungover: I like the coin, and many of the others shown in this...
A single photo, even glamour-shots PCGS photos, cannot show every aspect of a coin, its strike, its surface. Having a second set of photos, and...
As others have said, probably just remnants of a clash peeking through the date. 3CN obverses have more clashes than the Western Front. I think...
I was going to say that, Doug beat me to channeling Doug! :oops: Well, the real thing is always better anyhow.
Around my area (Southern Maine), cash-only is a thing now. There are many food places that are now cash-only. Pizza shops, brunch places,...
Looks like a groundhog was gnawing on the center bands to me. :beaver: [ATTACH] I would say NO.
90% Silver 50c are also my favorite us coin size/type. Not too big, not too small, pretty, etc. Here are some I own/ have owned. [ATTACH]...
I really like and would like to own the 1939 5C Doubled Monticello in high mint state. [IMG] I own, but dont really care about, the 1943/2-P 5C....
Here is a coin that I briefly owned. I don't think it deserves the star, not by a long shot. I like my Washington's buttery, not cold steel...
That coin is not nearly pretty enough to warrant a STAR. It's a fine coin, but there are Much, much prettier toned Morgans out there without the...
