Technically that can be true but cost always creeps in. Plus it's harder when you remember (purchase) prices that could sometimes be half of the...
Decisions....decisions....as some may recall from my many threads, I have a few sets going of coins from Kazakhstan. One involves totem animals...
I'm not sure I fully understood the question but if the implication is would one have a talk with a coin dealer about a coin being overgraded...
You can see from the visible part of the insert that it is not a rattler but a more modern generation of PCGS holder. I do think it could have...
MS 64
You would need it to grade MS 69 or MS 70 to guarantee bringing the 1,800+ levels. There are raw sales on eBay where the seller did not net much...
It is possible to alter a coin inside a slab-there have been cases where people have gassed slabs. However, this is not a case of anyone messing...
Very nice!
Coin 1: MS 65 ...looks mark-free and lustrous Coin 2: AU 58 ....it might be the toning, but I believe I see wear ....as far as what made you go...
Newer holder and fairly mark-free, so I'm at MS 65 ...only the hits on the neck worry me a bit
I'm being optimistic and saying MS 64. I don't see wear based on the photo (if it was there, it would be a nice AU 58).
I voted MS 63 ....the MS 60 is surprising even if Anacs was more conservative in that era. They must have felt it was uncirculated but something...
Occasionally a batch is made and put on the market. Last year I recall a brief period where the type set (7070) became available for a bit under...
There are some cool designs and plenty of options to choose from. However, they are not priced as bullion. Most times a 1 oz silver version of...
MS 66 RB
PF 65 ...a bit of a wilder guess than usual as proofs are tough to grade from photos (just like you mentioned). I don't think it makes cameo (the...
Obverse had me at MS 64 but I think this is one case where the reverse (a few too many marks) takes it down a notch to MS 63
I would have expected a 65, especially given the older generation of NGC holder, but I don't have much issue with it as a 66.
It's a cool piece and the lack of information makes it even more intriguing. I like some of the less well known coins and have collected a few...
It is 10mm total height but there is about 2mm on each side (4mm total) that is just a border. So about 5mm-6mm of space inside (and even then it...
