It is pretty easy to find golden toned Jefferson Nickels, and I have found that golden toned Walkers and Peace Dollars are also pretty easy to...
I don't know if you recall this, but NGC just started providing price guide values for full step coins in 2012. When they started the price...
I was fortunate that NGC gave this coin an MS67 grade. Absolutely no way does PCGS give this coin an MS67 grade. This coin would grade MS66 FS...
The key phrase in your post is "Based on the images". I think if you saw the coin in hand, you would have no problem with the designation. The...
You might change your mind if you saw the coin in hand.
The only IKEs to get MS68 grades are the silver IKEs. I don't think the standards for MS68 are different, just think that the quality of the...
Something about this coin just doesn't look right to me. I don't know if it has been very lightly cleaned or if the photos are just making it...

Without photos, it is impossible to diagnose the variety of your coin. Does it look like either of these: 1954-S/D [IMG] 1954-S/S [IMG] The...
I have taken a larger photo of the steps and the nick is much less prevalent in this photo, but the weakness under the second pillar is still a...
Sometimes when the mark is light and does not penetrate all the way through the steps, the TPG will forgive the mark if the steps are otherwise...
It does take an absolute monster to get an MS68 but correct me if I'm wrong, but that is what you are seeing being that cello, a monster. The...
I think that if one were in the habit of cherrypicking silver IKE's for submission, this is the overall look they would seek. I'm not saying it...
Is that an MS67 1915 Buffalo Nickel that you just posted? My lord those are some nice coins!
It astounds me that they didn't give this coin a star designation, but the grade is right. [IMG]
This one was pretty much as expected. [IMG]
NGC decided that the coin wasn't star worthy, but they did give it full steps, go figure! [IMG]
No star on this one, everyone did really well grading this one, the overwhelming majority got it right. [IMG]
Ever have one coin make your whole submission. I bought this one on E-Bay for $8. [IMG]
