While I agree that coin is nice, I don't consider it even in the top tier of toned Mercury Dimes. To give you an idea of how nice a Mercury dime...
VAM is an acronym for the originators of the die Variety books for Morgan & Peace Dollars, Leroy Van Allen & George Mallis. An identified die...
What a tease. I opened this thread with so much excitement I could hardly stand still. Imagine my surprise when I saw a damaged Barber Dime when...
This is good advice. I have many years and thousands of dollars invested in toned coins and I still don't ever purchase raw rainbow toned coins....
Yeah, eating donuts, drinking coffee, maybe writing jaywalking tickets. That is what the Atlantic City police do. Nevermind there are drug...
Not that you own any problem coins, but which one do you like better, the GENUINE grade by PCGS or the details grade by NGC. I like that the NGC...
Mike, with all due respect proportional does not mean identical.
IMO, the color had nothing to do with it. The 50's and 60's Jefferson's are graded by a different standard than the early nickels by NGC. PCGS...
That nickel must be from the late 50's or early 60's, there are absolutely no steps.:smile
Don't worry about it Jack, those type of people will always find a way to squander their money. If not on coins, then somewhere else. Their...
I agree with you all the way around. It did take away from the NGC full step collectors, but remember, it was PCGS's decision to employ that...
I guess it was just a matter of time. The PCGS Genuine status finally sees it's proportional response from NGC. See link below....
In all fairness, there is a reason why PCGS decided to allow 5 full steps to qualify as a full step nickel. There are many Jefferson's that have...
I see it as a low end MS67, but the TPG's are more forgiving with the later date Jeffersons. The toning is iridescent so I am not sure that it...
That looks like Evan Gale's coin which is also a monster toned Appalachian just like mine. From the same submission in fact. There is only one...
I sincerely hope that the people who are criticizing the CAC have actually seen some CAC stickered coins in hand. It would be a shame if they...
Jack, I got news for you, if you find a 43/2-P with FS and color, you are going to have to fight me for it. If it is MS64 or below, I will let...
Technically, that is incorrect. PCGS has always used the standard that 5 full steps merited the full step strike designation. NGC's standard was...
I would like to believe it was his frustration in an attempt to take a proper photo of this coin.:headbang:
Thank you and I couldn't wait to tell you guys the story. I haven't been this happy about a coin in quite some time. Here are the oversized...
