I don't see a doubled die from your pictures. What I do see (at least, it looks like it in these pictures) is a trace of wear on the high...
Alright, good answers everyone! These are all raw, so there really isn't a right or wrong answer - but I'm glad to see everyone is in the right...
All I see is a late die state.
Whew, that token is definitely not PG!
Usually when I see that, I assume it is a problem piece. You have dealers trying to unload it, or it isn't meeting its reserve. Nice site, by...
The real answer, jp, is that most coin people aren't business people. It is a law of behavioral economics that people are highly reticent to take...
If he is trying to put it into a PCGS registry, its presence in teh NGC registry would have absolutely zero impact on it. The two are completely...
And a 53S in 66FBL is a $60k coin.
Be more specific with your question. Do I like proofs in general more than business strikes? No. Do I like those particular proofs vs. business...

We cannot possibly offer an accurate grade from closeups of the center of the coin. You should know better than that.
It has EF details, but it appears to have been cleaned or polished in some way. The obverse especially looks weird. I'd say the value is more...
No. Very much no. They have the same value (that is, zero premium), but they have very different causes and very different appearances.
Two completely different causes, with two completely different appearances. Machine damage, or strike damage, occurs right after the striking of...
A golden yellow by itself is not a problem. It is fairly common to see mint set coins toned that way. It is the combination of that yellow with...
Especially for the 30D, I'm curious how you guys arrived at 63BN or 64BN (you guys are in the right range, just want details). I agree that it is...
Yup, the Jeff is definitely DDD. I have a couple like that myself. When I first found one in 1999, I thought I had discovered the greatest doubled...
This is not entirely true. The proper term for this error is an "incomplete planchet," and there are three basic appearances. The curved "clip" is...
Separate names with a comma.
