Polar Bears are my favorite animal. Here is a polar and a panda. [IMG] [IMG]
I think that this coin clearly meets the criteria for full head. Three sprigs, a clear hairline, and a visible earhole. There is some flatness...
Add me to the MS63 camp.
I don't think there are enough posts about this topic. I wrote a thread years ago that briefly discussed the qualifications for full head but was...
That hurts my feelings, you are so mean!
Didn't anybody ever tell you that you shouldn't clean your coins? BTW, here is what a mint state Washington Quarter looks like. [IMG] Feel free...

It is obvious that your attempts to sell this collection have been very frustrating for you, but I doubt many people are going to want to help you...

I don't doubt that the coin was dipped but in hand the luster was not significantly impacted in a negative way. However, I think you have made a...
Guess the assigned grade of the 1939-D Mercury Dime shown below and cast your vote in the assigned poll. [IMG] As always, comments and...
I would say that your coin is in the VF range. I was only able to locate one other auction record of a 1943/2-P in that grade range....
That looks like the real deal to me, but I have never seen this variety in anything below mint state so I can't say for sure. Here are some...
