@Detecto, please photograph both sides of the coin. The wear on the reverse of Barber coinage is easier to see than the obverse.
Guess the Grade threads are fun & educational. I have started dozens of them over the years and some blossomed into very interesting threads. I...
Well, you can hardly blame me for thinking it was low AU, your photo makes it look lusterless. My guess is that you are angling the coin too...
First things first, when did you get an XF/AU 1912 Barber Half Dollar? Good coin for 12/12/12 btw. PS: Dontcha think you would get better...
Come on guys, I know I am a toning freak, but I think I would remember if I owned that coin. That might be the most impressive toned Peace Dollar...
I don't own this, but the image is in my photobucket and I don't know why. [IMG]
Poorly struck? HECK YA! Ugly? No Chance! [IMG] How about extensive die wear on a poorly struck series.
Both of those threads are fantastic examples of great numismatic debates and perfect illustrations of Doug's "black & white" nature. If you are...
This thread actually causes me a little sadness. I think that the majority of the people who are current members/readers of this forum remember...
Speaking of flashbacks, where ya been hidin Mike. It is a rim ding. Not severe enough to keep it out of a slab, but I think it might kill any...
I guess I will have to be the contrarian in this thread. You see, I believe that the path to enlightenment is through good honest debate between...
Yeah, I don't know about that either. The 1943-P Doubled Eye rivals the 1943/2-P in both rarity and price in almost every grade. It just doesn't...
I am bumping this thread because I have just re-imaged all my AU/BU Barber Quarters one last time before they go to NGC for grading. The photos...
War nickels are not rare for any of the dates. You can find some conditional rarities at the highest grades with full steps and the 45-S is the...
No, interrupted means the line needs to come to a complete stop. The mark on the OP's coin clearly affects the 3rd, 4th, and 5th steps of the...
The OP clearly stated that he is planning to sell this coin within the next few months. Did you miss that part, or are you really suggesting that...
This coin may be a super slider that was silently net graded to MS63. The surfaces appear to much nicer than MS63 but there does appear to wear...
While that is true, what I was talking about was the application of the FS designation in general. You will see a much higher percentage of coins...
Yes, that is a no brainer 6FS coin! The thread has better photos on another forum, here is the link. The Full Step (FS) Designation for...
I would certainly re-submit that coin. I see no reason why it shouldn't get a full step designation. For comparison, here is a 39-S NGC MS65 FS...
