I disagree. If every coin that had a scratch got body bagged there wouldn't be nearly as many slabs. Depending on the presumed cause of the...
What I'm seeing is an 1864, Large Motto, 2-cent coin. MS is a distinct possibility. Possibly an RB (definitely not RD.) Value less than $300...
Nice coin, and an excellent example of how imaging a coin can make it look much worse than it is. I would not have thought it was AU from the...
My comfort level is 10%. If it costs 10% or less of what you believe the coin is worth to have it slabbed, then it's a candidate for slabbing. I...
Die cracks are like toning. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. So the value depends on the buyer. If a person likes die cracks, they'll...
Not stupid. Stupid is NOT asking and remaining ignorant. The Greysheet (CDN) lists percentages of their Bid level that people are willing to pay...

Look at other people's problem coins and learn that way. That saves you money for the good coins you want. The pros (dealers, specialists and...
The 1909 VDB RD, because it's as close as you can get to what the coin looked like immediately after it was struck. And that condition is...

Yes, the Barber dime should be added about Wednesday. Other people have found linking and labeling errors in the gold section. I think I've...
Thanks for the checking you've done so far. Turns out there was 3 errors in a row; you just couldn't get to the second 2. That part should be okay...
I'm going to say AU-50 to -53. I see what appears wear on the eagle's breast and on liberty's lower left leg. And it appears to have lost most of...
Looks better than mine, and mine's a MS-63. I'm thinking MS-64, maybe even -65.
Okay, I THINK I've finally got my type set online. For those of you who wish to look, please let me know (in order of importance): 1. Are there...
Yep, that's one. I wouldn't want all my cents to look like that, but a couple are fine. I've got one good one and a couple marginals.
Good catch.
Someone paid too much. That's MS-63 money.
1908 and 1924
Looks like it might have been glued to something on the back. Or worse yet, soldered.
