Chris, if you call it a "blank planchet" then you are saying you don't know if it is a "blank" or a "planchet." They are two different things, and...
Haha, not tonight ;)
Proud to be member 19165!
Is it possible to get a photo that shows the whole side of the coin? And put it right side up? That'll make it so much easier to grade.... and...
Everyone has glossed over Larry's half-joking, half-serious answer. This looks just like the acid-etched Lincolns you see over in the "post mint...
There really is no hard and fast rule as to the relative value between PL and Proof strikes. Each series is different. For the Morgan, it is...
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think both of those coins are AT. I think both coins are probably also AU sliders. The two dates you have...
A "blank planchet" is definitely redundant and confusing. Review the terms: A "blank" and a "planchet" are two different things. Thus, to call...

How much does your dad know about coins? Do you have any experience as a dealer? I can't comment on the business aspects of it, but for the...
The only thing I see is die deterioration. As the force of striking coins wears upon the die, the elements tend to get bloated and distorted. The...
I think the 1824 Bust is my favorite of the group as well. It is gorgeous. Yes, it was almost certainly dipped (it is way too white to not have...
No, on the SMS. Very much no. Read this link for more info: http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6844?redir=t Grade is probably 63 or 64,...
From those pictures, I'll say AU-53 and AU-58. However, those aren't good pictures for grading. The grades could be EF-40 to MS-66.
At the FUN show last week, there were several 64 Kennedy's that looked like this: In my opinion, the obverse of this one is incredibly...
It looks like a modern imitation of an ancient, if you ask me.
I had a great time - one of the best shows I've attended in a while. When the coin I got comes back from NGC, I'll post a thread and show report....
