Important? Typically not. People are doing it because it's a hobby they enjoy.
The Mint screwed a lot of the bigger players in this market by lifting the limit on the quarters. They're going to be more gun-shy about buying...
Nice stuff! The 53-S Franklin is definitely above average, even if it probably won't get a FBL designation. I would try it, though. The only...
If you want to collect them all, then collect them all, but be aware that mint issued collectibles tend to lose value over time more often than not.
That's for a 64PL. I see 63PL on this one, so figure $2,250. ;)
Medal turn makes it read correctly when the coin is worn on a chain. That style is quite common for monograms like this. You even see it when...
Yes. VAM 1AR1. Those aren't scribbles, though. Very aggressive die polishing, probably to remove a clash. Scribbles came before the dies were...
Here it is. Shot this 7 years ago. The engraving is quite nice. [IMG]
No. Reverse is nicer than the obverse, but that's typical for Morgans. There are too many marks in prime focal areas on the obverse, including...
Several years ago, I photographed a "racketeer love token" for someone. It was an 1883 Liberty nickel with the reverse planed off an engraved....

I posted this on the PCGS forum to see of anyone there had any insight. Nothing much, except that someone from Heritage posted that it ended up...
TPGs market grade, and that's not a market AU50 coin unless O-113a always looks like that.
There are alternatives to resubmitting. The reverse toning is quite nice, at least in modest premium territory, but the obverse looks low-end 64...
And saying you're on a mission from God probably won't help smooth it over, either.
I promise not to post your bail if you try this and report back to us. Bonus points for video.
It's physically impossible to put 70 pounds in a small flat rate box. A brick of osmium, the most dense element there is, the size of a small...
10 or 12 rolls seems about right. Wrap them in bubble wrap or heavy paper to immobilize them inside the box, because you don't want them moving....
The price makes no sense for the coin, and there's no variety worth a premium, so I must wonder if it's the holder, which says "Silver Dollar"...
If you're asking if the die is doubled from multiple impressions from the hub, then no. If you're asking if the working hub is doubled from...
