What is interesting to me is how the rest of the coin looks pretty worn. That by itself is rare. Given that, and the nature of this damage, I do...
There is a very good chance that any in existence now reside in MS62 holders. :) Chris
Slippinin, I have read this thread and I think maybe you misunderstand a point Doug made. He said the banks pay for these coins. He is not, (not...
Brg is right, if you wish to ask our opinions we will need to see a close up of the mintmark area. However, the graders are extremely proficient...
But Statequarterguy is correct. I believe the standard for 70 is clean at 5x. Its a danger in collecting actually. The higher the magnification...
Synoptic, I am sure they were just reminding you that politics and religion do not belong on this board. These are explosive issues, and are not...
Goldmember, I would simply state for the record that Chris is a huge asset here, and everyone would be wise to listen to him. I don't see him as...
Chris, that is harsh. You are, (were), the type of customer that the mint should have reached out to for this offering. Good customers of the mint...
Yeah, the quarters in Barbers are the bear, (a lot like seated liberty, and bust, and draped bust....). Seems as if quarters were not as popular...
Weird, never heard of a cancellation fee on a sale. I suppose its fine whatever two parties agree to, I just hope everyone is aware of it if they...

Just for fun, I will list a few different scenarios that could happen. If you could humor me, just let me know which ones you believe should be...
I agree it has to be before around 1930 or so. I have seen many obscure good luck tokens. This one has a ton going for it, prosthetic leg, (when...
My experience is completely identical to yours Vess, except substitute "6 weeks" for "the day before" regarding my first child. I would have never...
Very true sir. Some of them were saved because of them being the first year. I believe if it were not for the notoriety of the date, in MS...
I don't see the confusion. In the other thread I said that a coin which later was found out to be doctored under AT should be returned. I was...
Hobo has it right, (he frequently does), but looking at lots and lots of coins will also help with learning to grade, education of various US...
I understand they are different issues, but to me are linked since either way the not is not an undamaged, authentic coin I thought it was....
So dealers do not extend unlimited return privileges for proven doctored coins? I am not disagreeing with you, I would simply think that such a...
