Sorry, it took me a while to image an example. This is a scan, not a camera image, but to show the spots this worked fine. And this is not the...
The best I could hope for from PCGS would be "Genuine". Not sure what NGC would do with it. ANACS would give me a DETAILS grade.
The coin looks like it started off with a poor planchet, then got a weak strike. If it's MS, I'd have a hard time seeing it even get a -63.
I've got a better date Buffalo nickel (1915-S). I'm in the process of replacing it because the one I have is damaged. It looks like an evil,...
Yep. Didn't check them all but the '96 and '97 have them. Just to be sure I was IDing them correctly I looked at some of the Unc's and they look...
Out of the 20 proof ASE's I have, I only have the original packaging (and COA's) for 15 of them. Can't remember why. Probably that's the way I...
Another surprise. 2x2's can't be used for ASE's. The dollar size 2x2 is cut for a silver dollar (38.1 mm). An ASE is 40.6 mm. So flips are my...
My standard comment. For that much money it has to be slabbed.
I don't knowingly buy cleaned coins. I either save until I can afford one with original surfaces OR I do without. I also pass on coins with...
eBay - the site we LOVE to bash. But the site many still buy and sell on. My main gripe really has nothing to do with eBay itself. It has to do...
I build sets. But the concept of the word "set" can be a bit fuzzy. Yes, I have a Lincoln set. But I also have a type set. Two entirely different...
A '70 small date Mint set probably deserves to remain intact. I agree with mikenoodle in this case. But with non-special Mint sets, open them up...
Glare is washing out the detail on the close-up, but it looks like they were right from what I can see. Nice coin.
I'm thinking VF-20. OBVERSE: General wear, but the breasts are outlined and the left leg sandal appears full. REVERSE: Detail lost on the breast,...
Certainly the best packaging option. I've got the corrugated pressure sensitive merchandise wrap and padded envelopes. But not the Airtites. And...
Which do you think would be a better holder for shipping a raw coin? In this case the raw coin would be a proof ASE. The flip would be one of...
I have no reason to doubt you. But we can dream.
Lots of people use Photobucket if they want free image hosting. You images go from fair to unusable. But based on what I can see: #1 - XF #2 -...
Save your money longer so that you can get one that is slabbed VG or F. You'll be much happier down the line.
Hey!!! What's this bit about "old"!!!??? Both coins are newer than me :p
Separate names with a comma.
