Ok, these new pictures confirm in my mind: - this coin has absolutely not been harshly cleaned. You may see some die polish lines, but not...
I don't see any evidence of cleaning, and I certainly don't see any evidence of harsh cleaning. The color leads me to believe there is an...
Different methods will affect the luster differently. There is not a one-size-fits-all definite answer for every coin that addresses every...
Really, 15 coins in 10 minutes is probably around the time requirements to be a grader. So, I kinda like that they put the time limit on it....
Wow. A solid 40, dripping eye appeal. If there is some luster hiding in the protected areas, that may even make 45.
I wonder how many people are familiar enough with 20 cent pieces and FE cents to spot a fake! Wow. Tricky!
Randy, on this one, its the texture of the fields, especially on the obverse. There are two big areas that concern me - the first is the field...
I keep going back and forth between AU details and Unc details, cleaned and obv scratch.
Are you going to get that slabbed? I'd probably grade it MS-64 at least.
You guys really don't have to speculate. The terms are defined in the ANA grading guide. Marketers may use the wrong terms, but they just as often...
I have found a lot of the Omaha Bank Hoard to be generously graded. In my opinion, those marks on the cheekbone, couple with the somewhat muted...
So, who played in the grading game? How did you do? Tell us a bit about it.

This will never be worth 100 dollars. This will never be worth 10 dollars, unless the price of silver goes up. You have a polished AU coin.
This is an extremely common coin, and its value will never be more than its silver content. This coin will never be worth "a thousand dollars."
Are all of those hairlines on the coin, or on the holder it is in? To me, it looks like a harshly polished AU coin, not an MS-65.
Someday I would like to go to this show.
St. Stephens has one of the coolest roofs. The cathedral is quite visible on the Vienna skyline, and sticks out. You can see it from just about...
I think he's talking about the microscopic third picture that's barely visible even on my enormous 32" monitor. What I'm seeing is a...
I have 2 sets that I am working on. I am focused on those sets, and I don't buy extra gadgets that don't fit those two sets. I don't have the...
