I'd call the coin a VF-30. The wheat ears aren't strong enough, the cheek is too flattened, and there doesn't appear to be any luster. The hair is...
How many times have we seen threads here on Cointalk where the poster asks "how much is this coin worth that I just bought." Well, you see, you...
No, that is a B, for Billion. Many dates of Lincolns have mintages in the billions. And, if there is a weakness in a design, the stresses will...
On the PCGS forum, yes. On the NGC forum, I like to think we're a bit friendlier.
Congrats! Finishing any set is an accomplishment, and the Walkers can be challenging in the early dates. They will look very attractive in a...
His expertise would be frustrated here. It seems like 79% of the posts on CT are "how valuable is my mangled piece of pocket change?", followed by...
Are you going to reveal the answer?
I'm curious what your numbers 8-2 mean here. Do you mean there are 8 signs of AT vs 2 signs of NT? Could you elaborate and explain what you mean...
Well, if your friend wants to pay 25x what the coin is worth, I guess that's his choice. I'll ignore the price of breakfast, and call that a...
Not a single one of these criteria is present on the coin...
If you look at the picture, it is very clearly in a PCGS holder...
That would be Bill Jones. He posts over on the NGC forums. His type set would make anyone drool, but the rest of his collection is just as nice.
A what?
It looks natural, from what I can tell. I don't find it particularly attractive, however. That's just my opinion, do with it what you will.
Oh, I didn't get offended at all. I'm just trying to understand what you are trying to say (and make sure that you understand what you are saying...
This is the part of your statement that I disagree with.
Why would you say that? I find the toning attractive. I wouldn't pay a premium for it, but it certainly doesn't decrease the value.
Yes, these and Buffalo nickels are two of the hardest US series to grade, in my opinion. That doesn't explain his conflation of circulated and...
Either you see wear and don't understand its implications for grade (a coin with wear *cannot*, by definition, grade higher than 58), or you see...
A bit of machine doubling, coupled with some die deterioration. Spend it.
