Nice going. Feels good when you complete a set. I suspect your Mercury dimes are going to be a LOT tougher to complete. And a LOT more expensive....
Okay, misunderstood your original post. Instead of buying rolls to find coins you don't have yet, think about buying incomplete sets until you...
If a roll is not original (all one date), then it's been searched, but maybe :rolleyes: not by the seller. If the roll shows a worn coin (less...
There are only 50 states in the US. BUT There will be an additional year added to cover the 6 US Territories. Hence total coins will be 56.
Close call. If you think you can get a MS-65 out of it, definitely yes. A MS-64 would be up to you.
Two are from eBay. Third is from Teletrade.
Latest acquisitions: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I don't understand how the two MS-62's got graded that way, but if I can get coins that...
And there's ALWAYS a return policy, no matter what the seller says. File a SNAD with eBay and watch what happens.
Nice coin. Good hourglass reflection. Highly likely to be Unc; I'm thinking MS-64, possibly -65 if all the little dings don't look as bad in hand....
As far as grade goes, I'm thinking AU. There's a bit too many small dings for me to believe it's Unc, even a low Unc. Color concerns me. Unless...
Looks like the label has been trimmed and changed. And it doesn't say MS-86, just 86.
Vinegar is VERY weakly acidic. And the acid (acetic) is not strong in the first place. So you're using a weak solution of a weak acid. This...
Agreed. I shouldn't have included that mark in with the potential die clash list.
1878 - I see an AU-53/AU-55. Just a touch of wear on the high points of the hair. 1881 S - I'm thinking XF-40 with a shot at XF-45. The uneven...
Lousy images, but from what can be seen: 1. Ugly. 2. The reverse is a disaster (lots of green.) 3. Obverse has been diddled with (eraser?) Why...
That "mark" across the neck looks a bit peculiar. And I'm seeing "marks" elsewhere. Look between the "R" and "T". And at the bridge of nose. And...
From the images I see it making MS-63. The marks are smallish and generally not distracting.
First, I think much of the change in toning and marks are from a different lighting angle and/or exposure setting. Second, the now hazy areas...
Zinc is a tough metal to preserve, particularly in a moist environment. 1. If you already have "crusty white" surfaces, forget about the coins....
You would think so. But there's enough vacuous people out there that were buying above $900 that I think my statement is partially correct. These...
Separate names with a comma.
