It looks like a nice coin, probably 63 or 64, but not worth grading unless you can send it with someone's bulk order. As has been mentioned, 1921...
No such thing as VAM 3B as far as I know. Check for the 3A clash, like Chris said, otherwise VAM 3.
I agree, but then I'm a bit biased.
At the PCGS lunch at ANA last week, Don Willis showed test results of various plastics that were tested for slabs. There were several...
There are actually several die pairs with the doubled olives. 1900 was the first year of a transition between two reverse hub designs, which led...
Never heard of "bowl luster." What you're describing sounds like what would be called "concave fields." The best example of that for Morgans is...
The marks by the B are definitely hits/dings/nicks on the coin.
The coin you show sells for about $20 on eBay. The only way I'd get this graded is if it looked like it would grade 66 or higher (I miss the days...
What do you want to get graded? Pictures might help us help you determine whether it's worth it or not.
Education has nothing to do with being able to predict metals prices. Actually, the more educated someone is, the less likely they are to...
I had a roll of 2010 ASEs that I recently found. Traded them last week for a bunch of mixed dates and bought a Dansco. I enjoy them much more now.
So it's unclear whether he bought it that way or did it himself. Either way, a whack upside the head is in order.
I'd call it a whizzed coin. It has been harshly and abrasively processed to impart artificial flow lines and simulate a luster it didn't have...
The outcome with the other images is equivocal, otherwise I wouldn't have asked to see the full date.
Post the full date, including the 1. I find the graph lines distracting, since I'm looking for radial distances.
A high date has to be pretty significant and obvious to be listed as such, since there isn't a "ruler" like the denticles that can be used to...
I wish that variety had never been listed as it is. There are likely many 1888 Morgans that show the last 8 like this. It was in the 4-digit...
This coin is not the FS-101 doubled obverse.

Fortunately, from a monetary standpoint, the items you posted that have corroded are inexpensive and easily replaced (although I'm not sure what...
