Thar's quite possible. There are some years that coins exist either in low grades and high grades but not in the mid-grades. That may be the case...
1) No more so than the other dates. 2) In XF they'll go for $400-600. That's worth slabbing in my book.
Thanks, I saw that. It's a B-1, the most common variety.
I've been working on a die marriage set of Capped Bust Quarters-Reduced Size (1831-1838). I started wanting XF-40 or -45 but they appear to be...
Agreed. Don't forget S&H.
I've read a prediction that in the future CAC coins will get the catalog price and slabbed non-CAC coins will be sold at a reduced price.
Here's a couple in Massachusetts of reasonable size: August 14. Auburn. Greater Worcester Coin Show. August 28. Westford. Westford Monthly Coin...

What does the coin look like JUST in hand? Bear in mind that TPG's grade most coins with just the un-aided eye. If they think they see something...
Just had our 47th anniversary so we're doing something right.
Don't forget, it's not how many were struck but it's how many still exist, particularly in collectible condition. But with your tabulation of...
My wife knows (and understands) that my collection can be cashed in for at least part (80-90%) of what I paid. Her international vacations only...
eBay tends to deal with small problems by using overkill (killing an ant with a sledge hammer). So there's a LOT of collateral damage. I just...
IMO you decide on a grade that you think it is. Also decide whether you think it's been cleaned or not. Look it up in some catalog (Numismedia...
If it's gunk then you have a chance. Acetone and a VERY light and careful nudging at it with a toothpick. But I'd wait for a more experienced...
What are you trying to do? Acetone will not affect the toning. As to the "stuff" around ONE/CENT and down by the ribbon, not knowing what it is I...
Separate names with a comma.
