Rare and valuable are not the same. Many beginners get the two confused. I have some Franklin FBLs of which there are only 30 or so, but not worth...
Yes, $4 over spot is high. $2 is more reasonable - although with enough searching you can find someone willing to pay any price.
Yes, you overpaid quite a bit for them. I would expect common date, low grade UNC Morgans (what we call widgets) to sell for less than $30. I...
Intercept is good, dansco is good. If you currently have them in 2x2s though, there is no reason to completely overhaul your system, unless you...
Nice clip! Those last pics show the metal flow I was talking about very well, thanks! Anyone else got any clips out there?
A strikethrough, by its very definition, is random. Most often, strikethroughs are just grease left on the die. However, when the strike is...
Nice woodie!
No, you do not have an error coin. Rotated dies are considered very minor errors, but only when the rotation is greater than 15-20%. Yours does...
I dream of the day when I can afford a shilling like that.
I live in Charleston, so its a reasonable 6 hour drive for me. I'll get there late Friday probably, and leave Sunday. I'm looking forward to...
Well, you have it in hand so you can say better what it actually looks like. I just know that I've seen marks which appear similar to yours...
Lehigh said in the original post that this coin is raw. The marks I'm referring to are exactly as the Cave Troll mentions - they start about...
What's face value? I'll give you that. Heck, twice that for the nice case.
That won't do me much good. I can't see past 6 inches without my glasses! ;)
Unfortunately, Lehigh, this otherwise beautiful coin is a No Grade. The counting wheel marks which are quite prominent across the obverse mean...
Sure, and thanks for the compliments. The flowlines I speak of are a little bit hard to see, but they look like lines going underneath the...
Thanks y'all
I do not believe the OP's coin is authentic. It just doesn't look right - The odd weaknesses in the letters (particularly in AMERICA) and the...
That is, without a doubt, Machine doubling, and is not worth anything. If you are particularly interested in the Franklin and earlier Kennedies, I...
That is not XF. It is a VF, I would probably say VF-25. Looks like a nice Bust half.
