I also find it interesting that the coin in the holder does not seem to be any sort of variety (at least not marked). One would think a...
As @ldhair mentioned, that seller is known to be a good grader (they won a PCGS competition). However, a lot of what is sold is in NNC (self...
It looks ok, but the images are difficult to judge. That seller is known to use scans/mediocre images. They do accept returns, so you can take...
Given that this is for your collection, I'd say you are best leaving it as is. If it helps, add a little sticker and write-in "PL" next to the...
Great minds think alike! Yours just happens to be a few minutes quicker! :D
Note that on a cross, you can't set a higher minimum grade than on the holder. NGC might think it's nice enough to add a star, but it could easily...
Cool find! I found this info: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20725.html Years 1935-1937 Value 1/5 Cent (0.002) Metal Aluminium Weight...
It appears that reconsideration is your best option. One of the choices is an upgrade by suffix (i.e. non PL to PL). You likely could just pick...
For those that collect sample or promotional slabs, have any of you seen this one before? What is the correct classification, promotional holder?...
And finally we have page 5. This one is nearly complete. Just the Susan B. Anthony is missing (I used to have a few but spent/redeemed them at the...
Thank you! It really wasn't a hard choice since it was the only Seated Half that I had and it came from a collector friend.
On we go to page 4. *Walking Liberty Half from 1942 is cleaned and bought at $15 when spot was high...this one I will try to replace with a nice...
The Seated Half has some toning and the cleaning isn't too bad. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And here is page 3 with only one coin. This is one of my special coins since it came from a good collector friend! *1854 Seated Liberty with...
It happens to all of us. I have bought some silver coins right before a dip in spot prices (as I will detail in a future post). Look at the...
Thank you! The Whitman album has 20th and 21st century coins (but no 19th century). Here is an example on Amazon (might not be the cheapest):...
Thank you! I have also heard that old adage and it does hold some merit. My goal is to find those detail coins that are have slight issues or...
Back to page two. The Buffalo Nickel has some nice rainbow toning (you can't quite see it in the photo), but unfortunately was tooled. Still good...
Congrats on the Trade Dollar! That is a coin I've never owned and look forward to acquiring at some point! Grade preferences are important and so...
Good tips! I'm not spending any new money yet. All the coins currently in the album were the ones I already had (some will be upgraded, but those...
