I think it is properly graded in the ANACS holder... but I think it would come back 66 5FS. What price guide are you looking at? It is $55 in 65...
I agree that this is natural toning. The very dark crescent on the obverse is unattractive, but the rest of the coin looks ok.
Not being incredibly familiar with 1856 FEs, the coin itself seems to be a pretty good fake. Can someone point out some significant markers that...
Sometimes these come prooflike. Sometimes they come rainbow toned. Very rarely do they come with both! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Oh, yeah! 2.7 x 2.2 x 1.1 inches (think about the size of a large egg). Weighs 289 grams. Small compared to museum showpieces, but this...
Not quite 90's.... but close. I got my driver's license in 2001. There was a pawn shop near where I lived, and I'd sort through their silver bin....
I'm going to switch it up and take us (in a straight line!) across the pond. Cuba! This coin is very special to me, because when I was young we...
So, I recently purchased an actual meteorite from Heritage. However, while reading about meteorites, their history, and collecting of...
That's a great description of my position and reaction ;) Although, I don't like to see planchet roughness on a 66 either. To be fair, the...

For those learning from these threads, the implied subtext that messydesk is referring to: most major auctions allow bidders to view lots in-hand...
' I'll be honest, I didn't even look at the sales price. However, this one seems to have sold for a generic 67 price:...
The whole "best answer" thing is weird. You would think that only the poster of the thread would be able to select a post as the best answer.......
Alright, time for the reveal. With 50 guesses, you guys nailed it: 67.02, compared to the PCGS 67 CAC. I'm most perplexed by the 64 and 65...
I say dipped precisely because it does not appear to be cleaned or polished. I don't see hairlines, I don't see whizzing, I don't see the abnormal...
I've been avoiding copper because of the RD/RB/BN distinction. It adds too much complexity to the scoring, and the grading. However, I suppose I...

Problem is, NGC does not guarantee authenticity or attribution. All it guarantees is the grade. Read more here:...
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...
Definitely, absolutely, no question asked Artificial Toning. Everything about that screams fake. Take a look here for what toned Liberty nickels...
