I don't see anything that indicates an RPM to me. It looks like machine damage.
I've never seen one of these slabbed. The cost of grading and error attribution really isn't worth it. However, that is a nice MAD.
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but every single one of those raw coins has problems. I don't know who you are buying from, but you should...
Okbustchaser has fully described the term "sight-unseen." This isn't just his interpretation, or his opinion of the matter. This is the...
I enjoyed the New Orleans mint. There was a book recently published "The Numismatourist," that talks about all of the significant numismatic...
From those pics, I'd bid 55. It appears attractive, but the lack of luster in the fields is making me lean towards a brush of wear. The high...
These are worth only slightly over their silver value. Certainly not $10. Recently completed Ebay sales appear to be in the $7-$8 range.
I'm sorry if I offended you. I wasn't talking about you - I was answering/expounding on what Dave had said. I wasn't directing this to you...
That is precisely the point. There is a scratch behind her head. We can agree on that. The question you are asking is, is that scratch bad enough...
I can't say for sure (grading proofs from pics is nearly impossible). However, with that disclaimer, it looks like it has a good shot (from teh...
Sweet! Hope you enjoy it :)
Poor Anna looks like she lost a knife fight... Put me in the 62PL camp. It may be DMPL, but I just can't tell from these pics. If I was...
Kennedy PLs are known in 1985, but they don't become common until later in the 80s. The late 90's are quite commonly found PL, and the 2010's are...
1974 looks 65+. The strike is weak, and there are enough tickmarks to keep it from 66. The 78D is 64, tops. The scrape on his cheek kills the...
Actually, the surfaces are remarkably clean. Spectacularly so. I'm guessing that, in hand, the luster is superb. These are why the coin got a 67....
From the closeup pictures, I would have graded it 64 with an outside chance at 65. From the full coin pictures, I'd grade it 65+ with an outside...
These are "struck through grease." Incredibly common, and worth no premium. Spend them.
As many others have said: 1.) That coin is EF. 2.) That scratch is about 50/50 whether it would straight grade or not. To add to that: 1.)...
I have seen maybe 2 or 3 Ikes that I liked. Sorry, but this isn't one of them. I like the pink/purple/green colors at the center of the...
Not sure what you are looking at, but the wear I see is on her hip, breast, and the eagle's breast.
