A coin struck from rusty dies is absolutely not a details coin. It is a genuine mint made effect, the same as a die break, die crack, cud, or clash.
I believe I see what you are referring to on the E, now. However, because of its highly localized nature, I'm pretty sure it is MDD. A true...
Anything struck by a rusty die is absolutely a mint made effect, and will not result in a details grade. If it is an issue the TPGs are unfamiliar...
Well, I compared it to the PCGS photograde app: https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Seated25/Grades The OP compared quite well to a low VF - and...
Removing the evidence of a copper spot temporarily is quite easy. Preventing the copper spot from reappearing is impossible. The whole idea of...
I think what he's trying to say is, be smart about it. I generally disagree with his assessment of key dates (they will always be popular, and...
My favorite coin changes fairly often. I've got about a dozen that, depending on the day, I might say was my favorite. So, how about I post one...
Really? Wow. That seems super lenient. VF-35 should be just a smidge away from an EF - and that thing is nowhere close! Is this a case of key...
Wow. Some of the fakes you post are incredibly convincing - this is not one of them.
Honestly, I don't see anything. The pictures are too pixelated. It's entirely possible to discover new DDOs, I've found a couple myself....
Is that a proof? Dang, that looks awesome.
Great eye appeal on that piece. Congrats!
It's a gold shield, so when you check the PCGS cert number it should have pictures. Do the pictures match the coins? I personally have bought...
If you are interested in Moroccan coinage, learning the history of Morocco, learning about the symbols on the coins, and learning about the folks...
Wow, that is *dark* Too much wear for a 30, not enough wear for a 20. I'm going to go with the unusual grade of 25.
1946 - I'd call that a *very attractive* MS-64. 1906 - Very low AU. Definitely circulated, no question. Noticeable wear on all high points,...
Very nice! I was going to suggest that you search for an Italian type with a 20 reverse with much larger numerals and a more oval O... but it...
Riff has been pretty clear that a lot of his recent picks have come from bulk sales of unsorted world coins. The dealer literally doesn't have the...
Toning is uncommon on steel cents, but is possible. I agree with @cwart , however, they look like they have been treated. There is flattening on...
What I recommend, instead of going for the "highest" grade, is going for the "best grade for the money." Look at this chart for the 1885 Morgan...
