Some great gifts that you have shared with others!
I just saw that post as well. A Doily plus CAC Ike is definitely special in the holder world! I'm a fan.
@geekpryde the scratches and clouding of the plastic are definitely a nuisance on that slab. Are they bad enough where you aren't able to polish...
Do you see anything wrong with that 1854? I speculated in the post above yours that it might have an issue that CAC would now consider serious...
I think it was a reference to this: Box Position (3): 1854 Half Cent - Coronet, Braided Hair C-1 PCGS AU50 BROWN CAC [this coin will be...

That was a fun story to read and I'm glad there was a positive score to help offset the first one. And I'm in the same camp-I also don't pay much...
I don't know what charley saw but I suspect some might see this as a problem coin. Some of the dark spots hiding in the crevices could be an issue...
Very nice set! I like the idea of combining a Dansco 7070 style type set with a box of 20-and being outside an album gives you more freedom to...
From the pictures, I don't see obvious cleaning but a small patch of hairlines that can only be seen at certain angles is enough to cause a coin...
it's no from me ....6/5/4/5 ....area under the third column has enough of a break to prevent the designation
PCGS always had the weaker standard for full bell lines. I'm not sure why they chose that. Maybe it was influenced by dealers or whoever was...
I second the idea of selling to the dealer that offered $170. With eBay fees of about 13% and shipping being another $5 (usps ground advantage),...
My guess is that the 58 and lower FBLs at PCGS are mechanical errors or database entry errors as their website states they don’t give the FBL...
They do have a counterfeit slab. I'm not sure what they would do if they were not able to make a decision ...or is that only NGC/PCGS and ICG...
Nice work!
ICG would also put altered surfaces into a slab (found an example online). NGC seems to be the only one that won't (I have a Morgan that came...
And I would call the 1955 FBL....I wonder if the TPGs would call it a 62 FBL (slider/market grade) as opposed to 58 FBL?
AU 58 can receive FBL. Below is a photo I found online. I would guess ANACS and ICG would give the designation just like NGC. PCGS will not: "PCGS...
You are looking at the crossover section while the original poster appears to have sent these coins in raw. Raw coins will automatically be put in...
Separate names with a comma.
