At the risk of sending this thread into a copyright and licensing discussion, PCGS is touchy about re-use of TrueViews. Don Willis has said that...
Based on what I've read in the rest of the thread, he'd still get $20 to $75, because most people don't read auction descriptions very closely....
They sound like something that was one of those "sucker subscription" things, where you get the first token for a low price (plus exorbitant...
All I saw is the picture. They saw the coin. As far as arguing with the grade is concerned, I'm in the weaker position here, so all I can say...
I'm kind of torn between VAM 11, VAM 35 (both real, worth $20) and VAM 67 (contemporary counterfeit, worth much more). It comes down to the...
VAM 10 and 23 are both candidates based on the descriptions. Can't see the 8 on your coin clearly enough, but I can see where there might be...
Yes, of course. Three things that hit me right away when I saw this that made me think possible counterfeit were (1) the date position, (2) the...
Oh my. That coin could be worth a bit more than that, but only if it's fake. It looks a lot like VAM 67, which is a contemporary counterfeit.
Counting wheel marks look totally different. They look like someone took an eraser to a small bit of the coin. Roller marks will affect the...
Wow! I hadn't been following this thread, but I'm rather surprised by the price for this coin. Congrats to the seller, I guess. The toning is a...
It's roller marks.
I wish this were true, but it's not. Be very careful buying into the old holder hype with DMPLs. Many aren't. You really have to look at the...
Take a look at auction archives for this coin. PCGS maintains a free auction prices realized database, for coins of all reputable TPGs having...
These are called "roller marks," and were on the strip when it was rolled and drawn to the correct thickness.
Can I assume by the price that the coin is graded MS65 DMPL? If lower, the price is way too high. If graded 65DMPL, I'd have to see the coin to...
All dates that haven't been studied closely are candidates to clean up. The "wide date" designation doesn't make sense given the date punch was...
If there's no obverse clashing at all, then the die was replaced after a clash, since the reverse clashing is quite strong. The mint mark I would...
Too bad on the rim ding. It's the kind of thing that might get through eventually. Nice bunch of coins, though! The 89-O getting a 64 (it is...
I'll be there Thursday through Saturday. I'm staying at a Residence Inn by the airport and renting a car. Cheaper than trying to stay near the...
Alt+PrintScreen should defeat that.
