While 1982 might be a tougher year, you still need to be sure of getting high grades to make submitting worth it. I think the P probably grades at...
I'll WAG 64.
Huh, that's weird. A different camera picked up all the same marks..... almost like they are really there on the coin. Weird.
I've seen enough coins, and I've seen enough pictures of coins, to know that a camera doesn't just invent marks and scrapes like that. Forget that...
Because all you did was link to an Ebay sale. There is no question, no discussion, no post, nothing. This makes it seem like you are advertising...
Stop the presses! Doug and I agree on something! ;)
To a certain extent, grading from photos is tricky. However, there are certain characteristics that just shouldn't be there on a 67+ coin: look at...

Those coins are all going to need an acetone bath!
I'd want better pictures or a solid return policy to bid strongly, but it has potential. It could be an attractive UNC coin. It could also be a...
The term is also applied to certain coins which have been improperly annealed. As far as I know, these primarily apply to Jeffersons.
"Black Beauty" is a misnomer. The coins described as such are ugly. They have thick, black, unappealing, terminal toning. I once saw a dealer...
I would not dip it. You'll be left with dull, lifeless surfaces. There are also some pretty serious scratches on the reverse. I believe the...
I hadn't seen a Roosevelt before. My grandma has a couple of the Mercury dime ones - when she first showed them to me, I thought they were just...
Separate names with a comma.
