Jack, I think someone is calling for you. :)
It could get interesting now that we have two poker players talking.
I know. But I would not pay anywhere close to that just for some "pretty" toning.
Grey Sheet says $58 for that coin. It is pretty with the toning and I might go as high as $70 or $75. $7,000 is completely, utterly ridiculous....
Most common is most common. The real difference between the rarity ratings is when you get into the higher rarity numbers. For example, under one...
R-1 is the most common. Just to confuse you even further, there are several different rarity scales depending on the series.
It is an Overton variety. (The 'O' is for Overton.) Al Overton identified the CBH varieties and wrote a book about 40 years ago.
I hate to say it but we will need better pics than that to grade your coin. I assume you scanned it because it has that "scanned look" where...
It's really hard to say if it is genuine or not from these photos. The denticles (obverse and reverse) are a little mushy but other than that I...
Rusty, When you get your first issue let me know which month it is. I'll grab an issue or two before that and mail to you.
What do you mean you "give props to anyone that can remember all the varieties". What props do you provide? Lights and loupes?
Darn. I thought you had bought '24-D and '26-S Buffalo Nickels.
Look to the SW of the mintmark. If there are parallel die scratches running NW to SE above the E in QUARTER this is a good sign the coin may be...
I agree. It is MS but damaged. In MS-63 it is a $40 or $50 coin. With the damage yours would be considerably less.
I got my August issue last week. If you're not getting the magazine give Sandy a call and alert her.
I'll go first. It does NOT look like a Matte Proof Lincoln to me. The details are too weak to be a Proof (see Abe's beard and hair). The rims...
Welcome to CoinTalk. Post a pic if you can. We need to see the doubling you describe to determine if it is indeed die doubling (which would be...
You might want to check your math. If a person made a dollar a day and worked every day of the year he would make $365. So if he made a total...
I can only go by the photos provided and in these photos the luster appears broken, in which case I would say the coin is AU-55.
The best way to learn is to ask.
Separate names with a comma.
