While I was getting my wantlists ready for the Baltimore Whitman Show (March 27-30) I got a pleasant surprise. I've been working on a mid-grade...
My Guess: It was in a coin album like one of the older Whitman albums. If so, acetone should remove it.
Excellent. Well done.
Was there a buyer's fee? That's the sort of thing that can jump up and bite you sometimes.
Why? Don't just make a statement like that. Tell us WHY you think that way. It will help those of us who missed something OR are learning grading....
No. But in this case the potential buyer would have a much better look at the item vs. most of the images you see on eBay. Therefore a buying...
You can't use a numeric grade for your coin (XF-45, MS-63, etc.) unless it's slabbed by an eBay approved TPG. And that pertains to both the title...

The seller is in Spain so it's reasonable to assume his command of English is somewhat impaired. I suspect he meant "fantasy" coin which would...
When I first looked "fingerprint" popped into my mind regarding the right side of the obverse. IF that's the case then the coin could have been...
Same topic, "confusion" but for a different reason by the seller. I don't know if PCGS has started putting grades on their Genuine slabs but NGC...
I just wear a hanging badge that says Coin Talk. If someone sees it then we can howdy each other. Also another thing we've done is pick a...
Nice idea EXCEPT for the huge price difference. Per PCGS: -- 1961 Roosevelt Dime MS-66 FB = $175 -- 1961 Roosevelt Dime MS-67 FB = $2350 I don't...
I am putting together a silver Roosevelt Dime set in MS-66 FT (or FB). I want a matched set. Only one coin to go (1961) BUT it hasn't shown up for...
I don't see any marks. I don't like the toning (but that's just me). PF-65 ± 1
