Proofs aren't necessarily beautiful/great looking. That aside, considerations would be reflective/mirror surfaces, strong strike detail and...
It looks like a solid XF to me.
Of course that also means you can get a nice AU for a small amount over the cost of a lower grade example. And since there are plenty to choose...
I disagree - I think the opening bid is fair, but no bargain.
You can worry all you want about things that could possibly happen. However, realistically, the chances of your having problems with a safety...
The starting bid of $229 is about right for the 1853 Quarter Eagle. So, even if you like it, I wouldn't suggest stretching by more than a few...
While I can't make any promises, the coin looks genuine to me and I grade it AU. However, they are common enough so that it's not worth risking...
It looks like an MS64 to me.
Although 1921 Peace Dollars are well known for their typically-soft strikes, I still see light wear on both sides of the coin. It is most apparent...
With respect to the question you asked I would think that, having examined the coin in person, I probably had a much better idea about how to...

I'm not convinced that thte mintmark is genuine and I sure wouldnt give a self-slaber/WCG the benefit of the doubt.
In addition to being of the opinion that the coin was not damaged subsequent to being struck, I believe that it should grade AU, at a minimum. I...
No problem Dan and it was my pleasure. You were most gracious in our communications and I appreciate that.
Regarding the coin which is the subject of this thread - I believe that it is a solid AU coin which has been lightly cleaned. I thought that the...
Frank, while I do a good amount of business, I submit very few coins to the grading companies for grading or re-grading. There is no reason...
Limit of 5 per person unless you want more;) I am of the opinion that "first strike" offers are gimmicks aimed at the uninformed and that it's...
Current "Graysheet" bid/ask for an AU is $150/$165. "Redbook" prices are far less likely to be as accurate, due to the lag time in the printing...
