Nope. That's a high point of the slab, even with the stacking tabs. Another possibility is that it was stacked with stapled 2x2s or in someone's...
The slab was stacked in a double row box and spent a lot of time rubbing against other slabs. When it wasn't in said box, it was being thrown...
I assume "golden" refers only to the color and that the token is struck in brass. I think Royal Oak Mint did Gobrecht dollar replicas, but I don't...
The 1927 looks like it still has cleaning compound embedded in it. The 1908 looks better, but I don't think it would grade as a MS coin.
AU55. Not an O/S. Can't tell if there's any repunching on the date. The die cracks through the mint mark and by the R in DOLLAR should help...
As should the next person to buy that coin. Very nice!
Could be because cleaned, circulated common dates are sold anonymously and unceremonioulsly in junk boxes, so that it doesn't seem like there are...
Might want to tag @brg5658, as I believe he's a "horse coin" afficionado. (Apologies if I'm wrong.)
You have to take the R-numbers with a grain of salt. They are estimates based on how likely it should have been that a given variety was already...
I'm actually sort of working on a mint mark set of $5 Libertys. I always thought it would be cool. It's not a "top priority" set of mine, but...
The shield design on the cent has some incuse lettering.
I'm guessing that when it was listed (2013), the person that sent it in didn't care about any collar clash, since there was a major interior die...
There is nothing abnormal about the posted coin that I can see from the photos.
Just added "lower hair" to the 1922 VAM page so that I don't miss this one with keyword searches again. Of course, it's also plain as day in the...
I'll trade a rack of ribs for that coin right now.
Not sure that the Peace dollar is VAM 2BB. Many have cracks in roughly the same spot, so VAM 2BB is probably a frequent misattribution of these...
Lousy strike. Of course, the reverse doesn't look bad, so there could have been some schmutz settled in the obverse die around the ear.
I don't see strike issues with that coin. 78-CC is typically well struck, and this is no exception.
62-63. The picture of it in the flip shows the surfaces the best. There's an outside chance it's an AU58, but I can't make that conclusion from...
Nice win!
