It would be nice to know that if a coin was cracked out of a holder and resubmitted that it would receive the same grade 1,000 out of 1,000 times....
Cholmes, I've had pretty good luck and a lot of fun with a Discovery 3300 from Radio Shack. It's a fairly good detector and a fairly...
They are pretty nice coins. But I agree with the comment above that from the scans, none appear to be uncirculated. I haven't yet developed the...
I was just looking around and ran across the APMEX.com website. Has anyone ever used them? Were the experiences positive or negative? I don't...
I'm still not sure why cleaning isn't just considered another form of wear, but lets not open up that can of worms again. ;)
You could trade the shirt for an MS70 grade.
Wow! Talent and honesty. Very admirable.
Amazing find!
I'll bet there is a good chance it hasn't been cleaned at all. If it was mixed in with some other junk for decades it might show some unusual...
I'd probably love to have a flowing hair dollar, but would probably settle for a draped bust dollar from 1799 or earlier; or maybe any US coin...
Does Numistrust Corporation [NTC] fall into the same category as PCI? I see a lot of their slabs around but never purchased one and never heard...
I would say G6 [but keep in mind others are far more qualified to make this judgement than me, a non-professional]. There is too much rim for it...

I don't think your results are unusual. Hunting down silver coins after people have been hoarding them for decades isn't easy. It is a labor of...
Pre 1965 dimes are 90% silver. I rounded down a bit to account for wear and assumed each dime has .07 ounces. Another way to do it is to figure...
I would be inclined to buy both of the 1890cc for $89, particularly if they have pretty good eye appeal. The Carson City mint seems to be the...
I am a big fan of silver, and I love the SAEs. So far I've been pretty happy to acquire them in the original mint tubes or as raw singles that I...
My son and I go detecting from time to time. On vacation last week we did a substantial amount of searching at the beach. We've never found...
I never had much success searching for silver in rolls other than half dollars, and rolls of halves are hard to come by around here for some...
I always thought of the Sentry safes as protection from fire, water and other sorts of environmental damage. I agree they aren't much protection...
