High grade in coins doesn't necessarily mean high quality. You can buy a dull, dipped, unattractive 64 and spend a lot of money, or you can buy...
Yes, it is quite likely to get a roll that will be largely made up of the same variety. I once opened a roll of Alabama state quarters, and half...
A 65 and a CAC with those marks in the obverse field? Wow, I'm really surprised.
If it was graded more than 12 years ago, I'd say that's a classic 64. Today, that would find its way into a 65 slab - but I still think 64 is the...
I am at a solid 64. Looks like a nice, attractive coin.
How big is the show? To have a monthly coin show, the community in your area must be pretty active. That's really good. I get a show twice a year...
Larry, that's a really nice coin except for that spot.... I just can't appreciate these things. Sorry.
I would expect most posters here have at least some sort of smartphone (I don't), but these pictures are significantly better than many we see.
These pics are more evenly lit than the Morgan, but they are out of focus. However, this coin appears to be quite clean, and well struck. Given...
Moving certainly doesn't help! Those new pics aren't a whole lot better. Given the pics, I'll say 65, but I think better pics might convince me...
The top half of the coin is well lit (maybe overlit).... but the bottom half is quite underlit. It is clear that you have the technology to make...
I have no desire to own any of these fantasy coins. There are plenty of legitimate rarities that would be amazing to own - for example, a class I...
That resolution is simply not high enough. We need more detailed shots, rmp. If I can't see the molecular structure, I'm not satisfied.
The OP's coin has a lot more wear than yours, EAC. Look at the leaves on the wreath.
I have had a couple of requests lately for signed copies of my book, The Art and Science of Grading Coins. If you want a signed copy, please...
If they are common R1, R2, R3 coins, then it won't make a huge difference. But if you're expecting a premium for rare varieties, then GC is...
Yes, they are both abbreviations for "Extra Fine" or "Extremely Fine", depending on who you ask. EF makes sense to me, since they are E-words.......
The big stuff (1 oz pieces) are not going to do well in 2x2s. They are just too big. The 1/10 oz will fit well - your best bet is to just get a...
I would think that porcelain wouldn't wear as quickly as a coin would, and I would think that porcelain tokens probably didn't circulate too...
A little bit of Google-fu reveals that these were not dated. You can see here for a bit more information:...
Separate names with a comma.
