The 89-CC is fake. The 90 is an AU coin worth about $20-25.
I use a stereo microscope next to my computer monitor and look back and forth. Develop a mental language of sorts to describe useful things to...
I agree. It seems more apologetic or sensitive to triggering Brexit opponents than it does celebratory.
It looks to be altered (added mint mark). The date is in the wrong position for a genuine 93-S, and the mint mark looks like it might be a bit...
I stand by the answer to this 10 year old question that I posted 5 years ago.
I've been there twice. Once back in 1990, once around 2002. Very nice place.
I'll do it for less and be accurate. :woot: Is the stuff on the central hair goo that you think could/should be swabbed off with acetone?
Two coins out of the auction just showed up yesterday. I photographed them today. First up, a 1669 1/4 Thaler from Salzburg for the Prime Number...
I think I'd put an O-103 sticker on that. Nice! VF25 for the grade. If the stuff on the hair in the middle of the coin and by LI in LIBERTY is...

Genuine, coin and photos severely boinked.
You could also send it, and other varieties, here. (Disclosure: this is me.)
No. It's a $50 coin in 65. This coin would be $15 or less, probably. Search eBay for completed items and you'll see what they go for.
I wasn't aware of this one. An "inverted overdate" set (including individual digit punches) would be pretty cool, although I can't imaging it...
I have this one in VF or XF. Definitely cool and one of the only half dimes in my collection.
No. In addition to the contact marks cited, the spot on the E in ONE is a big negative on that coin that would either limit the grade to 62 or...
Tough question, and one I might answer differently on any given day. If I restrict myself to everything but Morgan dollars, there are still a lot...
No. The bourse was crowded and busy on Saturday.
The crowd at FUN makes me hopeful that this is the case.
I recommend you purchase a copy of the 2020 Red Book, which has lots of information about all US coin types, including talk about what a proof...
