That's machine doubling. Quite common for 1922. Typically shows up on the nose, neck, and date. It doesn't figure into the attribution.
Looks close. If not quite PL, maybe get a star for trying from NGC. AU55, perhaps? It was probably dipped to attempt to get rid of the black...
You would probably get at least 110% of hammer (e.g., coin hammers for $1M, you get $1.1M, buyer pays $1.175M) on that coin with either Heritage...
It sold for $57,200 (including the vig) back in 1982. Eliasberg bought it in 1942 as part of the Clapp collection, which he bought for $100,000....
While I have seen coins in GSA holders that were toned on both sides, they're not common. After the GSA sale, coins that found their way into...
Yes. Dahlonega closed in 1861 at the onset of the Civil War, Denver opened in 1906.
Picked up a nice 44-O in PCGS 45. It goes nicely with the rest of the set. [IMG]
63. VAM 10.
Some form of environmental damage, perhaps. Two coins in contact with each other, one with some chemical on it in the fieldsame like an intaglio...
If it were tilted that slightly, you'd never notice anything amiss with the reeds. If the reeds were tilted (they're not), and they were tilted...
PCGS will not designate PL for business strikes of these that happen to be prooflike (or for any other PL coin that isn't a Morgan dollar), but...
Any illusion of the reeds being slanted is simply that -- an illusion, perhaps exacerbated by wear when comparing with the other coins. The...
The prices start marching north pretty quick in MS grades. Pops for 34-S are significantly below other dates in MS, so it would seem that it...
I'm not exactly sure. I was probably just wondering what dates were prime numbers, then saw there were a lot of good coin dates in that run and...
You say potato, I say aardappel, as far as what the correct word order is. This XF40 fills in the 1783 slot of my prime number set. Only need...
That's the impression I get, too, especially from the reverse. XF details. Sad.
Yes
Does the pattern of the spots match the one on the packaging?
Grading proofs from photos is folly, so I'm going to avoid guessing. I'm not a fan of the toning, though. In additional to having negative eye...
The front edge of the coat seems to have a deficient strike.
Separate names with a comma.
