1881-S: VAM-22 in MS63+ 1878: VAM-33 and I wouldn't be surprised with MS65 but I'm calling it 64. 1921-S: VAM unknown; insufficient detail in...
Buyers will once enough have been cracked out that OGP becomes scarce. :) Don't free these cartwheels, C-B-D.
We can't have that. I'll make a point of flaming you the next chance I get. :)
The speed of the cut, I think. It was cut NW-SE, and the leading edge of the star made the blade jump over the rest of the star. Something similar...
With this in mind ( :) ), if the date is correct it presents the proper configuration for the real deal. Numismatics is a game of precision, and...
The "+" to my mind originates with the absolutely brilliant luster for a Peace Dollar, given for eye appeal rather than technical merit. Yes, the...
It's as precisely as that term has ever been applied. Somehow, silver/gold sellers became the Issue of the Month, and in typical political...
Philadelphia did not use a "P" mint mark until 1980 with this issue, so the lack of a mint mark means it's a normal Philadelphia Dime for the date...
The rotation is pretty common for C-1, as if anything about it is "common." If Heritage is any indication, only about half of slabbed 1825's are...

There's nothing to report, though.
I could see myself going totally over the edge and trying to get one of *everything* in low-mid AU.... :)
What's fraudulent about it? He can ask any price he wants.
What they do have is Phil's consistency of technique, and when you've seen enough of his work you can draw generalities from it. In conjunction...
I'll await those before commenting on their grading skills. :)
....and I'm helpless, because as part of their rebuild, DLRC has taken their reference library offline. :(
See why I get so annoyed by necro'd threads? Not only do people raise them from the dead, their comments prove they didn't even bother reading the...
If the toning is typical silver sulfide, acetone won't touch it. There's a very small but non-zero chance that during the coins life something got...
Note my reply above. Those numbers came from results of real-world sales in recent months. Few 1924's in MS65 go for as much as $2100 these days.
That's the PCI holder from their best years; I believe their opinion of the surfaces in these holders. Still think it's undergraded, though. :)
Separate names with a comma.
