Because the mintmark on coins of this era was punched by hand, there could be a wide variety of locations that it could be punched. This is higher...
While "FS" is certainly an abbreviation for "full strike," I don't think this has widespread acceptance (outside of the dubious shyster MAC)....
Clashing is very common on these, and most other small coins. Congrats on a find which has apparently got you quite excited. The "broken nose"...
Yes, it does. The entire rest of the coin is very similar - but this one doesn't have the large scrapes in teh obverse field (in front of her...
I do something very similar. One series I collect is Capped Bust Halves, so I've got small stickers that I put on each slab (usually on the...
If you could somehow travel back in time 10 years, and give your 10-year-younger-self some hard-earned numismatic advice, what would you tell...
Yes, I think it would get FS. It may even get 6FS at NGC (PCGS doesn't offer this - their "FS" is only 5FS). However, there is too much...
It is a sticker that the seller put on the label. He is trying to hype the coin, make it seem scarce and rare, and hoping he can get people...
Not sure what you are trying to imply (do you think it's real?!?), but the pictures are so bad that it would take impossible to see any initials.
In that case: it appears like a nice coin based on the low quality pictures. It is probably going to be blast white in hand, not golden toned. The...
I'll call it a lustrous 64. The cheek is remarkably clean for a 64, but the scrapes in the obverse field really kill the grade. (If you submitted...
Almost impossible to tell. You're going to get a bunch of answers in either direction. I don't think its altered, but it could be anything.
Not sure what your question is. What do we think of the coin? You've already posted the grade. What do we think of the price? If you have to...
Nobody would ever buy this based on the Ebay pictures. Anyone who is advanced enough to be able to buy this would do extensive research, find...
Could you explain what you mean with your statement? 67s (which are still scarce, but sell a couple times a year) regularly sell in the $6k to $7k...
Based on what I am interpreting as flatness of her cheek and ear/wing, I'm going to call this AU-55. There is also dullness in the fields that I...
The 44D should be easily distinguishable by color alone, since these are "shell casing" cents, and have a slightly different composition. It...
I get them in change from time to time. Over the years, people picked them out and saved them because they were unusual, and people thought they...
Yes, the pimpling definitely indicates a plated cent. As for the toning... it appears to have something spilled on it, and is corroding. It is...
I'm guessing this law will go down with the first court challenge. I wouldn't expect it to pass in any other state, because it is stupid. But,...
Separate names with a comma.
