Whoa! Well, my guess could be high than. Never knew MS69s existed out there for these. Amazing. Does anybody know why these colored up so much?
Yes. This is the problem we keep running into with these. I read the question as what is it worth "on the open market". Meaning what I would...
I said $1000+. The combination of toning this bright, a MS67 grade with a star and a 'FB' designation on top of it, probably sends this one to...
From the books and articles I've read, the critics have always been out in force every time a new coin design hits the streets. Since the 1700s...
It depends on your definition of "a lot". In looking at the math above, several percent of wear only amounts to fractions of a gram as you say....
That could definitely put a spotlight on coin collecting for a while if they totally did away with them. Even if they did, I would think the...
Not so fast. Ebay owns paypal. A couple weeks ago, I talked with an ebay representative for about half an hour on live chat. A guy I know was...
I was wondering the same thing. Why hasn't this one been sent in yet? For being this nice, it raises red flags. The seller is making a...
A decent pocket scale runs around $30 on ebay. I've used mine a lot. Easy to calibrate each time you use it and came with 100 grams in weights...
Out of a slab, people would probably think it was AT. This one was worth being in a slab. Re-holder fees are about the equivalent of getting my...
I got to visit Gettysburg for a few days in 2007. Got to see everything I wanted to see. Very cool. Yeah, the war went on for a couple...
Those look awesome! Sounds like the price was right too. I don't actively collect Lincolns but I would have snapped those up without thinking...
I think 20% is on the high side. Especially for modern stuff. Coins today simply don't circulate that much or for that long anymore. A lot of...
That was an excellent post by Doug and I agree with it all. I now somewhat regret bashing NGC in the subject line of this post. I agree that...
The redbook and every other website lists 6.25 grams. If there's generally a 1% allowable variance, than on this quarter that would be +/-...
I talked with NGC today and that's what they thought as well. Dealers put stickers on them too sometimes. It makes total sense now. I thought...
Where'd you come up with 6.33 grams? The proper weight IS 6.25 grams. As far as what tolerances they can have nowadays, I'm not sure. They...
I might just send these in anyway. I think looking at them under the 10x loupe scared me a little. In hand to the naked eye, they aren't bad.
I believe VAMs are recognized die marriages for Morgans. I don't remember what it stands for. But for the people that are absolute fanatics,...
Pics Ok, these are pics I just took. The white balance is set so this shows the colors very accurately. [IMG] Notice the blotch around...
