Very interesting and illuminating graphs, Mr. Coin.
I really have no idea what the actual numbers would be. I do know that off-center coins with a recognizable date are more desirable (for the...
We can absolutely guess the grade without a slab. We just can't compare our guesses to any reference. That being said, I'd call this EF details,...
This coin appears to be an AU, which has been dipped, improperly rinsed, and is retoning afterwards. The discoloration and flatness on her cheek...
Looks nice, congrats. I'm also in the VF-30 camp.
1. BD? 2. As a novice, are you joking or serious about the covellite? If it is that, is this a common occurence? If it is rare, is it possibly...
Almost certainly cleaned. The color does not look right - at the center, or around the edges. To be fair, you also appear to have a white...
I don't see anything in the pictures that is an immediate red flag - but those are terrible pictures. Based on what I can see, I'd tentatively...
It looks to be a weakly struck AU. The pictures are a little hard to interpret, but I think there should be more hair detail for the amount of...
Your coin appears to be a heavily worn example of a normally struck coin. It is not a broadstrike.
If I had to guess, I'd say you got it for that price because it is not actually EF - it is VF-30 at best. It is attractive and doesn't have any...
Lets be generous and say that's about a 30 degree arc, in the k5 position. Given that a circle has 360 degrees, there's about a 1:12 chance that...
Sure, there may have been a bill. But there is absolutely zero chance of it happening. So the fact that it is happening would be a rumor.
That is a rumour. It is a silly rumour, but its the stuff of numis-myth and legend.
Do you have before and after pictures to prove/illustrate that? I personally have submitted about a dozen coins to NCS and have been well pleased...
Haha. Hahahaahahah. Hahahaahahaha. Oh, that's a good one.
Yes, the 1943D usually comes well struck. And yes, that coin is a typical example of the date. And yes, that would be considered a Full Thumb example.
Well, its a crying shame that he ruined two perfectly good coins to make those counterfeits. At least we know what coins he destroyed, so we can...
For the uninitiated: what is interesting/special about these? That is, why did you want one so badly to purchase a porous/holed somewhat-low-grade...
I agree with your assessment. I'd put it at a low VF, and its too bad about the gouge in the field in front of her face. The rest of the coin...
