Would need much better pics to be certain. There are obvious flat spots, but they are common on some NO minted Morgans. Provided pics aren't...
I agree. As I stated before, it's been badly cleaned. I also can't believe he got over $100 for one of the most common NO Morgans there is. Do...
You need to post these things a few weeks in advance, Jack. I'd drive a few hours to attend a show as long as it's in the West or North valley...
That was a lot of money for a cleaned very common coin. Guy~
I just wonder who exactly these people bidding on and buying these fake coins are. I mean, I know quite a few collectors and as far as I know they...
It may be because I live where a lot of snowbirds congregate for half the year from all over the US, but it seems it's about 60% D mint coins and...
Only thing I can think is they were hoping it would regrade a 67 for a registry set. There are lots of 66's...not many 67's. Bit steep for a...
I collect Bust Halves, but I don't have a clue as to what your arrows are pointing to in the pics. Hobo is correct about the first one. The stars...
Nice try, but April fools is almost over. The real 5(b) is a lot more boring: Guy~
I'm not sure if double eagles are demonitized currency, but if they're not, the bank is obligated to trade them at face by law. Guy~
The first 09's aren't "gone". According to Coin World, the Fed ordered over 200 million of them, so there will be that many floating around...
Lets see...splitting the royalties for mentioning posts by us here divided by over 1000 members.....we should demand our fair share, or about 1/10...
Alaska Mint products are pretty well known. A bit expensive, but the quality is nice. I usually stop in their store at their mint when I'm in...
Looks to be the remains of a polished-out clash mark on the obverse just between the chin and bust. BH Fever has photos that match your coin in...
I had to say fake. My reasonings: First, I couldn't find that pairing in any references to California gold. Second, there appears to be some...
Ahhh...thanks for the info, Ed. Guy~
Where did you come up with May 4th for the release of the second cent? The Mint has no news of this on their site anywhere I can find. Guy~
I wouldn't pay more as if it were a higher graded coin. I would pay more because it's a hard coin to find in ANY grade, though. Supply and demand...
Nice coin! I'd say at least EF. Guy~
I'd still have to say the grade stands regardless of a coin's rarity or pedigree or anything. There is nothing in the grading standards that...
