Well, if the pickups posted at the top of the thread are accurate for the three types, the coin in question is undoubtedly a Type A.
For crying out loud, what a terrible thing to post as "reputable." It's a laundry list of the things which damage coins the worst.
<3 those early PCI slabs with the Futura-family type. There are still gems in the rough in them. As a home test for DMPL, you want the fields of...
I can't quite favor it for 66, although CAC would be all over it at 65.
Grading from images isn't harmful, it's imperative. You must develop the skill in order to be competitive in today's numismatic buying world. But...
Yes, there are "acceptable" cleaning methods. More importantly, there are acceptable reasons for cleaning a coin. None of those reasons involve...
Oh, so very much this. Grading from images is so different from grading in-hand that it amounts to a "dialect" of the grading language - visual...

The seller has no Feedback in the last six months and none as a seller in the last year. Ain't touching it with stolen money. Somebody could have...

Yeah, in terms of strike (and overall) the PCGS coin appears the weakest of the 3. All the same, I think it fairly graded, which should indicate...
Those are why the market exists. Nothing else in numismatics like a toned cartwheel; they look like stained-glass windows.
Nah. Dip turns copper a shade of orange you'll never forget if you see it once, and the first time you see it you'll know. It's tragic. This...
I have seen a bunch - a BUNCH - of active PVC infestations in 57th Street slabs. Don't believe I'd buy one without cracking and treating it - you...
Vintagemintage, one important difference between your coin and the one cpm9ball posted - a red flag to me when I see it - is the even doubling...
Lovely gold. I could see myself calling the INGS coin the best of the bunch, aside the one swipe on the reverse. The obverse is the best of the 3,...
Nice. Nothing more fun than chasing a good numismatic story. :)
Well, I thought that was stipulated. It's an original, unmolested lower Mint State Carson City Morgan with striations I've seen on a hundred other...
