Make sure to check your SBAs for near date/ far date. They can have a pretty good premium even in high circulated grades.
I don't think we can really get an accurate guess of the contrast based on these pictures. The toning makes that even more difficult.
If you have an accurate record and inventory, then this shouldn't be difficult. For example, I have a spreadsheet that tracks every coin I own or...
I've never seen a good coin at a good price on Etsy. Just avoid that place. There are some reputable sellers on Amazon, but you have to wade...
When did Anacs use that holder? I don't recognize it. @Conder101 ? Congrats on the purchases!
Yes, this is exactly what happens. I just got one of those emails a couple of weeks ago. I have never had someone try to register a coin that I...
I have heard some people will always label the date side as the obverse. Usually, if there is a portrait that is the standard obverse. I just want...
I disagree. I think yours has a vastly superior strike, and I think yours would accurately be graded VF-35. I think the other two would be...
Could you try taking some new pictures of it, both obverse and reverse? It really is impossible to tell you a grade based on this picture. I'll...
Why do you say that? I think it is quite attractive. I voted AU-53. That luster is gorgeous.
Gorgeous color on that coin, and the luster looks strong. It is not FSB. Based on the whispy marks I see I guessed 65, but I could easily see this...
I never knew him, but I thoroughly enjoyed looking at his collection. There were some amazing coins there!
I gotta say, these are incredibly difficult to grade. The super low relief makes all of the details look soft. I'm at 64 on this one, because I...
Nope, I think Meow did pretty well at $50. As others have said, I think that is probably more likely an MS-64 coin - but you paid an MS-64 price...
This is actually a really interesting question. I play on the Registry (NGC), but I'm not really shooting for top spots. I do enjoy watching my...
Yup, supply and demand. If there are 2 of a thing and 5 people want it, it will sell for a lot more than if there are 5 of the thing and 5 people...
Have to agree here, I'm not seeing the rub. I stand by my 61 guess. Pretty significant difference in value there... might be worth resubmitting.
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...
Will be posted Friday!
There are 3 people who voted AU-58. Can you explain what you see in the images, or what you are interpreting that makes you say that?
