I have to say, I like this second one *a lot* better.
Dang, that is nice. Love the original color on it.
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a Guess the Grade thread each week. I...
The luster looks quite good to me. I have no idea why they graded it 65 - it looks like a 66+ any day to me.
Correct, there is absolutely no requirement for frost on a PL coin. It is based solely on the depth of the mirrors in the fields. Now, the most...
Yeah, I would not have been fine with this. He sold you a problem coin, and he knew full well that it was a problem coin, with problems he didn't...
It definitely has PL tendencies - from your pictures, I'd say the reverse is probably fully PL, but the obverse doesn't make it. This is a perfect...
I'll admit, I was a little torn on this one. I ultimately went 53 based on the quality of the luster, but the wear is 50. Honestly, I think 50 is...

Not gonna lie, I like the off center a lot more than the FEC. That spot, the active corrosion, scratches, and cleaning make this a problem coin....
Looks fantastic! I guessed 67.
Yeah, I usually let GTGs run for 2 or 3 days. After that, people lose interest.
Entry Post! Mostly because I'm really, really interested in Prize #12, RIP. Coin related entry: I had the pleasure of viewing many of the...
So, what did these grade?
And the result is..... PCGS MS-64 CAC. We had 47 guesses with an average of 62.5..... off by 1.5 points (oddly enough, same as the first time)....
That isn't a "monster." That is an attractively toned common date coin in low grade. "Monster" has to be reserved for truly amazing coins. And...
That set includes stamps, but those are not "encased stamps." Encased stamps are unique to the Civil War era, and were a replacement for coins...
This is where people who view the coin in hand will have an advantage. Heritage has auction lot viewing in person at all of their auctions - you...
My obo would be $900.....
