OK, boys and girls, here's another large cent to hone your grading on. I picked up this large cent today at FUN from an EAC dealer. In case...
This coin graded AU 55 -- just like the first one. This one is graded way too high in my eyes -- XF 45 to AU 50 at best. Unfortuately, for...
I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Indian Eagles are always banged up, even in mint state. The remaining luster...
Fine details, (harshly) cleaned, Net VG 10...Mike
The coin looks like it was wiped long ago then retoned over the old cleaning, leaving hairlines....Mike
Boy GDJMSP sure is tough!!! I think that NGC would grade it AU 50. PCGS would grade it EF 40 or 45. To me this is a classic XF/AU slider....
Here's another one. Please guess the grade NGC gave this one: [img] [img] Enjoy...Mike

You are correct about that. Flat strikes are very common in this year. They were more worried about getting all the coins minted rather than...
I must admit my first thought from the pictures was cleaned. The last set of photos have me going either way, unsure...Mike
Here's the one he's talking about. ;) [img]
I would spend $200 on books, and buy two $400 coins. Can you explain in a bit more detail about your statement: collect only the key dates...
:bow: A 19th century gold proof. :bow: A proof half cent. :bow: Proof seated dollar. :bow:
I guess the other Walker thread scared everyone away from this one. This coin was graded MS 66 by PCGS. You guys are being fooled by the...
That's the first one I've gotten wrong. I blame the photos! :whistle: Bonedigger, You have the coin in hand... Why do you think it got a...
