Other than my general aversion to buying raw coins on eBay, I like this one....Mike
Precisely. My first thought is it was ex-jewlery and was repaired/shaved. But the reverse doesn't show anything, so I ended up editing my...
If I were you, I'd call ANACS customer service 800 number and ask them. State your case calmly and fairly and ask them what they would suggest...
That's an area of flat strike. Very typical of the series, and this date also. THat's not to say there couldn't be some circulation wear there...
Something's not right with the obverse rim. Most noticable from 10 to 12 o'clock. Perhaps it is just the photo. The strike's a bit on the...
I think you shoudl do what you want to do and not be swayed by someone else's opinion. That said, if you're asking the question it seems to me...
Just because you value (and grade) a coin considering the strike strength doesn't mean that TPGs or the market does too. I have found strike,...
VF/XF details, cleaned, net F. To me, worth about $75.
Yes, in my opinion it was a rude response. Who cares, as long as you get your refund. ;)
I would grade the coin VF details, severe corrosion, net G. I don't think NCS will touch this coin with a 10 foot pole. Even an experienced...
First off, how do you know it really has altered surfaces? I assume the answer is a TPG told you so...and judging from the photos, my guess is...
PCGS, unlike NGC, does have a guarantee for red coins. I am fairly certain this guarantee applies to the OGH/rattlers. That being said, I...
The Krause book was donated by me. I don't bring this up to toot my own horn, but rather to tell you that if a CoinTalk member wins the book and...
There are a lot of reasons to like moderns, and the many "problems" associated with classic coins that are not associated with moderns....
Thanks for clearing up the die crack issue. :) It's a neat coin, and I like the overall look, but would be concerned with "hidden" problems...
This is a good perspective and one I'd like to take a minute to expound on... I'm often hard on cleaned coins, perhaps overly so, but I really...
I like this one enough to want to take a closer look.... If it has been cleaned it was a while ago and it has retoned nicely. However, the...
Why is the Seated Liberty Half Dime from 1829 to 1873 being so much overlooked. Because you are confusing a stronger relationship between...
I see a coin that was once pretty nice but has seen a recent "improvement". I grade the coin about $75 and would describe it as XF details,...
COOL! I'd guess PO-1. Nice pocket piece! Thanks for sharing...Mike p.s. I think some are SEVERLY UNDERVALUING this coin. There is a...
