When I collect my intent is to get coins in grades that will give a viewer the idea of what the Mint had in mind when they struck them. Consider...
The Red Book is useful. I get one about every 5 years. A good quick reference, particularly for issues I'm less familiar with. I don't know about...
The damage is so extensive I think a TPG would body bag it. I think they still do that for REALLY bad coins.
Good thing that coin looks like your pics. The ones in the listing would have had me running away.
And if I understand the designation correctly BOTH sides have to be cameo to earn the label.
The others have covered quite well the various normal copper colors (toning). But there are some coins (more often silver rather than copper...
I agree. Not rare. Not even scarce.
Lots of bag marks. IMO 62 tops.
There is no such thing as "virtual full steps". They are either full steps or not. NGC used to award "5 full steps" but I don't know if they do...
PCI is good enough so that the grade is probably reasonable. BUT the toning change could be a problem. As for a crossover, I don't know. If it...
I don't see a strike from a doubled die as I understand doubling.
I use an OTT-LITE with a white light tube. Goodman indicates that it's close to the same as sunlight.
That's better. One of the coins (they are CBQ's) is an R-5. The others are all R-2 or R-3.
My emphasis on "varieties". I read that to include such things as Overton, Browning and other such varieties. That's not good for what I was...
I'd give the reverse a 40 but the obverse a 30/35. And as I understand it, at this time the obverse rules so 35.
I generally sell low (less than $100) and mid-value ($100 to $500) items on eBay. eBay is a PITA but works often enough to merit trying each item...
And I was referring to stamps. A blanket blacklist of Cuba.
Yep, eBay is WAY behind in their policy regarding Cuba. They did their usual thing; opened a peanut with a sledge hammer. They banned EVERYTHING...
AU-something. Lots of random scratches, especially on the buffalo's shoulder and above the knot in the indian's hair.
Don't know much about what you want to do but if it were me I'd want to make sure it was the correct band. Don't know how often the BEP changes...
Separate names with a comma.
