When I saw this one, my first thought was, "OK, now there's the luster on a brown large cent we were discussion that was absent on the previous...
Flattered by those who value my opinion. As for whose grading opinions I value, it tends to be those who are not only consistently good at...
64BN. Has luster, good surfaces, especially on reverse, with only minor ticks, eye appeal could be better. The dark spots max it out at 64 for...
It's a very weak strike, which happens for 23-S. I looked at pictures of a 23-S in VF30 and XF45 on CoinFacts to see where the difference was....
64BN. No wear, great surfaces, but not perfect. Luster is good, but not great. A few hits here and there, but none heavy where it counts most....
I would think that some sort of mineral analysis could at least confirm whether or not it was quarried in the right place. Not sure who would do...
I see nothing that would make me say it is a doubled die.

Ungraded proof sets should only be bought when you can inspect the coins in person. It's very hard to grade proofs from photos, and it's easy to...
I can't tell why the half was called cleaned from here, but there's probably some parts of the surface that are too glossy or that show a patch of...
Yuck. In no universe should anyone pay more than melt for that. Also, cleaned (or in this case, highly polished) and AT are not mutually...
They're worth no more than melt, even if real. They all look bad, but then I have to wonder what a real one that was polished, then etched in...
Here's what a squared NJ looks like compared with the original. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Someone used software back in the 80s to design a square quarter, then had dies prepared with modified denomination and struck fantasy pieces with...
That was a good price. A one-sided DMPL is worth a premium over a normal coin, especially if it's on the obverse. A 2-sided PL is $375-$525, and...
I wrote a short program to square a round coin a while back (March 2016, so it seems), and it came out pretty much like this one. [IMG] [IMG]...
2027-2030 would be youth sports? Will any youth even know what a quarter is by then? :banghead:
It probably came back QT and now the seller just wants to make it someone else's problem.
The slabs are exposed to a gas, and since they're not air tight, the gas will find its way into the slab and tone the coin.
