While rainbow toned Lincolns that are both legit and attractive do exist and sell for premiums, the ones you show I would classify as "having a...
I agree that it would grade EF-AU. Composition is silver gilt, so the plating was done at the mint. If the plating were done elsewhere, it would...
Yes. VAM 29A. Too much wear to see the fat die break between the denticles, though. The "evil mimic" to this, VAM 35A, has a similar die crack,...
I wonder if this was an ill-fated alteration gone horribly wrong.
I was just a few years into collecting cheap stuff as a kid and was pretty much priced out of anything silver. I probably could have sold the...
Thinking (way) outside the box to figure out what makes it "pretty neat," I guess you could draw parallels to how it lived its life and ended up a...
The winning bidder then executed a jump bid to $20,000,000 to gain notoriety. TPGs didn't offer to create a special "pre-release" label? Buyer...
Don't dwell on having a matched set in a single grade. Buy nice 64s of the common dates and attractive lower grades of the tough ones. My 28 is a...

Reason enough to buy a certified one from a reputable seller and be done with it. Pricing is pretty flat up to MS63-64, so there's not much...
I'll be there Thursday through Saturday. I'll have my photo gear in tow this time. I'll be at the PCGS lunch and perhaps the NGC lunch. VAM...
I'm guessing it's weighs closer to 20 grams than 33.
The crap photo would make me pass on the coin. It might be a nice coin, but 22-D Peace dollars in 63 are common enough that you should be able to...
I'm thinking that the spike in the value of the Truman and Ike sets is due to people wanting to build a complete set as the end of the series...
The first printing is sold out, but I'm going to have a second printing for my 2018 coin calendar. $15 (includes shipping in the US) gets you a...
Not aware of any PLs. Population reports don't list any. The 1900-B I have, which I posted on the other thread, is the closest to PL, but it's a...
Separate names with a comma.
