Infuriating, isn't it?
At least in VF or above, I think 1849-O and 1850-O are the Key Dates for the series.
In other words, you're intelligent and perceptive. I don't see any moral reason for Private Listings either. That said, as has been advised, as...
For edification, here's the relevant language quoted directly from Ebay: Not trying to be argumentative, just to ensure correct information gets...
I see nothing on the coin that acetone will have an effect on. It got fingerprinted, so badly that the fingerprints altered the patinating...
....aside the fact that Ebay specifically prohibits the language he's using in the auction, because it's considered scamming....
Well, you got one here. :)
Definitely the V-4 Small O variety, a real sleeper within a sleeper date, within a sleeper series. This would be a thousand dollar coin if there...
Stop. Just don't.
I won't call the grades "wrong" based on these images, but I will say I suspect you'll be pleased with them. :) Look at the 1880 for VAM-11 when...
Not at all. Coins of this quality were the expectation for early San Francisco Morgans. They are by far the most common Morgans in high grade. The...
Tough to categorize. Those things which happen during one single striking action tend to fall into the "unimportant machine doubling" concept (as...
Think of it this way - bags were $1000 face, roughly 62.5lbs each, and the stash of 1884-CC Morgans alone was almost a thousand bags.
Because they didn't move so much as a single millimeter during those years. And hemmed in by another 60lbs of coins in each bag, in a pile of bags...
I sure like your chances at it. :)
Between the 0 and the MM location, it sure seems to have a good shot at VAM-11, doesn't it? :) With these images, both seem in the 63-64 range,...
That's why INB is a joke. They use Coin World slabs, just like all the other kitchen-table TPG's.
Because if you know what you're doing, you can acquire coins which have a reasonable expectation of remaining in demand into the future, subject...
There aren't really "hard and fast" rules about how silver will acquire patina, since so much of that depends on the conditions under which it's...
OK, I'll address both questions implicit here. First, the coin: It's a significant double strike, so significant that it's become a "prototype"...
