Die state isn't really relevant to the PL designation. More important is how recent was the polish. I have some PLs that are clearly from brand...
It is in great condition and looks quite attractive, but I have zero clue what it actually is. I hope someone can help!
It graded as AU because it has wear. If you look at her knee, the shield, and the eagle's breast, you can see a slight flattening. In these...
Very true points, Ray. I wasn't knocking your photos at all - they are extremely good. I was more comparing what the coin looks like under my...
Yes, NGC is the only company that designates PL for all series (both US and Foreign). PCGS will only designate it on Morgans, and a very select...
Because these coins weren't made to fool collectors. That was not their intent. They just had to be good enough to look close to the original.
Your pictures are all just slightly blurry, enough to make accurate grading impossible. They all look like mostly attractive coins (the corrosion...
Congrats on all your hard work, Sir Messy. That sounds like a huge project, and the VAMpires will appreciate it.
I was fortunate enough to buy coin #4 from this roll. In hand, the coin is a lot brighter (a lot more red than I expected), and the rainbow colors...
@BigTee44 was nice enough to let me examine this coin in hand, since I love PL coins so much. In hand, the obverse is semi-prooflike. The mirrors...

It is either a post-mint damage known as a squeeze job, or a very rare and special type of error. The odds are not in your favor, but we can't...
Minor point of addition - collectible gold coins were allowed to own. Thus, these fakes were made to look like rare collectibles. We weren't...
If it is in fact a Lebanese fake, I believe those were made with correct gold content. Definitely worth getting it checked!
I keep a folder on my computer of things I've learned. I also have a wide selection of bookmarks of threads, websites, and articles with things...
No, all four of those are fake.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Many of the counterfeits are made from silver. If the...
I was wondering how long it would take. That means you are the grammar police!
Because trolls go on my ignore list, and silly people get a second chance. You don't care what I think, but I'm trying to figure out if I care...
hahaha, I have no idea who you are, 1953, but you are going on my ignore list. Thanks for being a troll!
