If the weight is correct then my first guess would be that two blank planchets entered the striking chamber at the same time. This one got struck...
Good point. I overlooked the fact that no proofs were struck in 1946. But I really was thinking in more general terms. My understanding is that...
I believe the grade is legit based upon strike and stray marks. Can't tell about the surfaces under the toning, but likely original based on the...
Now I have to go look at my sets. I think I have Mint sets back to 1950 (it's been a long time since they've seen the light of day and my mind is...
VERY nice coin for 5 cents. Heck, it would be a VERY nice coin for 5 dollars! I don't see evidence of cleaning. But I DO see what appears to be...
I suspect the bottom line for a type set for many countries will be 2x2's or flips and an album that will fit them. I can see Canada and the UK...

My guess would be a strike-through. Something like a thread from a rag got in the way.
Give them a call and ask. I have called NGC a number of times, always with very pleasant customer service. They are polite and take the time to...
Strictly as a payment method a money order is better for the seller. There's no extra charge. BUT eBay won't let you advertise that you accept...
Peace dollars are tough to grade, particularly if they aren't in hand. I see enough definition in the eagle's wing to know they are well struck....
Nothing wrong with accepting a Money Order IF it is approved by you in advance. eBay rules say you can't say you accept money orders in your TOS....
Yeh, they'll get added in the near future. I'm looking to get two coins at the Baltimore Whitman show on June 12. Those coins will complete my...
For current or recent issues I'm thinking silver Roosevelts and Jeffersons up to about 1960.
Hooray!!! For the first time in quite a while I got some new coins. These are for a MS-67 War Nickel set I'm putting together. Six down, five to...
