A dollar a gram equals $31.10 for a troy ounce. Right now, silver spot is $10.88. You're getting hosed by at least $20 per ounce. Not to...
Okay. I see the obverse. Still don't know if it's an overdate, but I don't see anything to make me think it is.
I don't know if it's the overdate, as I can't see the obverse. Judging by the reverse, I'd call it MS-63. I would call it MS-65 or better, if it...
I was actually going to come back and post that, but I already gave an answer. I'm glad you thought to make the distinction.
You're right. Almost always when I say "cleaning", I mean "improper cleaning." I'll try to make the distinction in the future. I think it may be...
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the cheek and call it a new ANACS holder MS-63PL
Nice coin either way, though.
I'm gonna say EF-40. A lot of wear on the hair and stars, and on the leaf detail on the wreath on the reverse.
Yeah...you're both right. I need to start making that distinction. I'm all in favor of cleaning as a conservation technique, but I typically...
Easiest? Jefferson nickels.
Yeah...depends on definition. One that comes to mind right away is Barber dimes. Try getting your hands on an 1894-S (mintage: 24)
Well, geez...cleaning doesn't make them worthless, just worth less. I'll still take it :high5:
I don't collect them, but I have owned and sold them in the past. I try not to deal with the prooflikes, as it is too difficult to ascertain the...
EF-45. Sweet die crack.
I dislike dishonest dealers and shameless self-slabbers. It makes me sad that people who don't know any better clean coins before selling them....
Sometimes it does work out, sometimes not. I almost got burned on an 1893-S morgan. Even after I received it, I felt it was genuine. After...
No. It will depend where spot gold is close to when the coin is being released. Then they'll tack about $150 onto that.
I've never thought about it before. I would say, to be on the safe side, that they should be exposed to light as little as possible. Then again,...
I agree! I'd probably call it EF-45, or AU-50. Almost certainly a weak strike either way.
I don't know of any. I didn't see any on CONECA's website either (http://conecaonline.org/variety_listings.html)
