Welcome to CoinTalk, Noob. I know very little about ancient coins. I do know that ancients are heavily counterfeited. I don't know what to look...
Thanks. I think I could have overexposed the reverse 1/3 or 2/3 stop to lighten it up a bit.
Brian, One thread is plenty. No need to post multiple threads for the same note.
Welcome to CoinTalk, Brian. Do you have a photo of the obverse? RickieB is one of our US currency experts. He can probably offer some insight....
Supposedly the Peace Dollars had a different solution in the wash than that used for Morgans. Something in that wash retarded toning. Or so the...
Looks like a high VF to a low EF. I'll call it VF-30. Just a suggestion - when you take a photo of a coin try to shoot directly into the coin...

Great luster!!! And a greeat job of photography and editing.

I'm not sure if there are any varieties for that issue but there could be some error in the bag. Then again there may be none. I think I would...
I like the 1868 Shield Nickel. Too bad the reverse is scratched (vandalized). There are several broken letters on the reverse. The letters were...
