I'd say 67+ easy. It's just those nicks in the right field that hold it back IMO. The fairly deep hit above the eye stands out but I think it was...
There are no varieties for the 82-S cent that I'm aware of.
Think of the alloy as dough. Add in some chocolate chips and use a rolling pin to flatten it all. That's what happens.:)
Sort through some common modern junk coins and learn. It's pretty easy and VERY safe. You just have to decide when it's appropriate and when it's...
[IMG] On this coin, the light green spots should be easily removed. That verdigris is fresh and looks to be thin. I would definitely get it off...
The 15P will be a tough case, the corrosion looks to be heavy in spots. As a first step, I'd just put a couple drops on the reverse, let it sit...
Very nice collection you have there BigTee! Congrats on finding some nice examples in higher grades.
VERY nice 14D!! That's a GREAT example, nice strong reverse! Looks like a few of your coins have verdigris. I hope you have those stored in...
Nice Lincolns! I'd give the 12 a 63/64RD....very nice!
KILLER 63D - majorly unappreciated coin. These are usually quite horrible!
I like the 57, it appears to be vividly toned under a light, brown patina. Of course, most will jump on the QT train, but based on the 1st and 3rd...
DOH 63RB
So blazing it hurts my eyes like the sun!
I hate to ask, that black spot on the reverse - Is that on the coin or some sort of debris on or in the slab? It doesn't look like it's "part" of...
It would certainly save me a lot of typing! LOLOL I did most of the work on the book while I was laid-off. Just too much going on in my life to...
Asked to voice my opinion here.... No matter the name, verdigris, bronze disease, etc., it's all the essentially the same thing. Verdigris is...
Nice luster, that coin glows! Too bad it's in a holder. VC would take off that light verdigris film on the obverse in under 2 seconds. I've...
Like I said before you reposted this one, I don't care what NGC says. I prefer to grade on hits and this coin barely has any. All the chatter is...
As always Conder, I agree 100%. I use acetone to rinse off any debris and to dehydrate coins prior to storage. I never recommend using water and...
I would only go with PCGS myself. NGC gets questionable at the 67 level but PCGS is pretty consistent. Remember - buy the coins and not the holders.
