Well said! When paying a premium for a designation, it is prudent to find a completely fully struck example. Another value, in my opinion,...

Although raw gold makes me a bit nervous, for $475, it seems like a good deal.
G: If you penalize all Jeff's that don't have a reverse struck as strongly as that one, you'll be subtracting a point from 99.9% of them. ;)
Very nice toned coins can be found for little premium if you know where and how to look, and exhibit some patience. IMHO, little "value" can...
G: Please give me time to edit my posts and hide my stupidity. ;) My posts should read: [please don't take seriously for 5 minutes] :D
Nice coin, Lehigh! The pics have me scratching my head with respect to the luster on the coin. I suspect you tried to accentuate the color,...
It could be strike, but only if the strike is particularly bad for the issue. Generally, the difference between 53 and 58 is wear and/or hits....
Love the 1805! Thanks for sharing, Toad!

Congrats Clembo!
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'd bet you don't look at many Indian Eagles. Despite the soft metal, these coins are notorious for...
p.s. Trick or treat. :D
That's a good point, and come to think of it, it brings up a (perhaps even more) important point. When it comes to protecting our heir's...
Yeah, I see from his response that he did. However, I'm not sure how valuable an owner's description, price paid, or grade opinion of/for a coin...
The pricing on coins is typically a result of DEMAND, not inherent silver content. As for the best way to keep your Sacs, it would entail...
p.s. looking at the prices of these coins in 61, I think I'm going to have to do a bit of saving to afford a dozen of them. ;)
I think I found the coin on Heritage, and I see what you're talking about (except the edge bump). Still don't look like a 61 to me, but then...
:D lol
p.s. I would expect a 61 to have high-point wear or serious hairlines, or something else very obviously wrong with the coin. I see a few spots,...
