If you are going to try to collect everything, you're going to end up completing nothing. The demand on you $ resources will be too much....
Thanks. I find that quite interesting. Never seen one before. Bust coins are definitely NOT one of my strengths. But with over 50 years of...
I compared it (as well as I could) with mine. That's why I'm tending toward calling it real at the moment.
For the moment I'm willing to call it legit. If so, I would consider it one of a small group of key coins that, at the correct price, would...
Nice coin. I'm curious about the stars on the obverse. They all seem to "reach out" to the rim. Is that caused by die wear?
I'm more inclined to say XF. But lots of little nicks, so snaz could be right.
All sorts of red flags: 1. Very Fine 45!!!??? Doesn't know his terminology. 2. No feedback, buying or selling 3. Images are WAY too nice 4....
BTW, I did notice that many of your coins were in the 2x2's. Those 2x2's were closed with staples. And the staples were sticking up in the back....
That's easy. Buyer thinks it's a DDO. Also thinks it's a tremendous bargain. Obviously the buyer didn't think it through. The seller knows...
True. My 1921 Peace dollar is graded MS-62. It looks better than that to me. Maybe -63. (Not -64 or -65.)
I disagree. Die shifting as I described generally only occurs on one side, and mostly the obverse. The reverse die is much more solidly placed...
Nice horn. Even a bit of the split tail. I'd call it XF. $10-15
Agreed. Many collectors avoid MS-60, -61 and -62 coins. They have to have some bad to nasty marks to grade that low. Most AU-55 and -58 coins look...
There are a number of causes of mechanical doubling. One of the most common is a loose die that shifts at the moment of impact in the coining...
Full Head for sure. The shield has all its rivets AND the emblem in the center looks fully struck. Can't tell if there's any rubs or not. With no...
Looks more like mechanical doubling to me. I'd like to see the "LIBERTY" as close as you did the date.
My Philiosophy: If you buy a coin with a problem, you will always have a coin with a problem. I assume you mean the "best you can afford." And...
[NOTE: I did not look at all of your presentations, nor any completely through.] Certainly a different way to display a collection. If you can...
... until a year later when you find a REALLY nice fingerprint (yours) on a key/semi-key.
Nice coin. VF I believe. You can't do anything about those spots. By that I mean the damage to the surface of the coin has already occurred. The...
