Great coins and images. I bet they all grade except the last one. It's pretty clear that the toning is artificial. The obverse spot at 9 o'clock...
Just wanted to share this since it's pretty rare. Toned copper-nickel, especially circulated (which is debatable in this case since it looks UNC...
I'm going to throw "eBay for Dummies" into the mix. :happy:
Now that stinks...
They do this on Indian cents that they think are unnaturally red. In other words, they suspect it was more brown at one point and someone stripped...
@Paddy54, is your contrast set too high on your camera? It almost looks pixilated.
NGC = XF40 PCGS = VF35

With platinum being a harder metal, it makes me wonder if the coin really is a worn pcgs xf40 or if it is just a weak strike due to the harder...
Die cracks don't make it a variety, unless it's a special exception where the die cracks form a specific variety, like the 1807 "bearded goddess"...
I know. I remember when this coin hit the auction block. It went for a lot.
No, my comment was just frustration over people posting guesses after the results had already been posted. I was in a mood. My dog is dying and my...
This makes me drool. I miss my old Dansco type set. I had the gold page nearly filled once (was only missing the $10 lib and $2.5 indian), but...
I saw a 16-D in PCGS AU55 at the Central States show. I didn't even ask price, but I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000.
But a Jack Beymer price would be double that. :)
MS69 struck in platinum.
Omg...
