I'm not sure why you asked about the differences between the obverses, instead of the reverses, which is what I mentioned.
A number of posters seem to have missed that key diagnostic, which tells us that the particular coin in question is counterfeit. Who would like...
"Perhaps 64" based upon what, other than that you don't care for the toning? I see no flaws that would prevent it from grading as high as MS67,...
I think you can protect and care for it more than adequately without spending the money to have it slabbed.
Here are my guesses as to approximate values for the coins - other people night have very different ideas: 1831 1/2 10c $50 - it would be worth...
I see nothing in the images to indicate that the grading was off for that coin. Furthermore, what would be funny (as in "for a laugh") about...
A scratch and dirt don't necessarily make it other than uncirculated. Were images included in the listing? If not, it was unwise to bid. If so,...
I'll respectfully disagree with that. You can probably buy a certified MS64 for slightly above that price and there is no assurance that this one...
It looks like a high XF to low AU example. But the color is a bit on the light side, to the point where I suspect that the coin has been lightly...
The images don't allow for a really good look at the coin but my best guess is MS64, due to the ticks/hits along the left leg of Ms. Liberty, on...
Hopefully you know that if it is a Proof coin there is no way to provide a meaningful grade guess based on images. The grades of Proof coins are...
My apologies for not having been clear. I agree that based on the images, there are better examples to be had. But I have seen numerous examples...
My pleasure and glad I could be of some help. Many people also use "Jewel luster" and or other means to dip or clean coins. By the way, in...
I was speaking of dealers, not collectors.
You'd be doing your friend a large disservice. :secret: For as much as you and others might dislike the coin and/or disagree with the assigned...
I can't locate a good thread on the subject at the moment, but in the mean time... There are a number of things to look for in order to try to...
It's guess work, based on a combination of: 1) knowing that the date comes softly struck; 2) not seeing definite signs of accompanying circulation...
I haven't looked at a "Bluebook" in ages, but my recollection is that it's more of a wholesale guide, as opposed to retail, like the "Redbook"....
I agree!
I have seen countless silver coins of all types (and grades as high as MS67), graded by each of the grading services, that didn't necessarily have...
