It's in plastic... it's not graded or guaranteed by any reputable service. NTC is a self-slabber (he bought some plastic, printed some labels, and...
If I'm paying a huge premium for a date or variety, I need to be able to clearly see the identifying features. If I can only barely make out the...
You are guessing the grade. Ideally, your grade and the TPG grade should be the same, if the TPG's are grading accurately and you are grading...
If you read the wikipedia article, it's pretty clear that sestercentennial is the real word and the other one is a modern made up thing:...
If it's a modern Chinese copy, they counterfeit everything. They're all collectible and sell at a premium. Even the dimes.
If you posted the other closeup picture of the date that user bdunnse posted in this thread:...
Can you try and take some pictures for us?
You know what, I actually think I was wrong on that one. The dime should be reeded. The half dollar had a lettered edge, but the lower...

Sometimes the TPG just has no idea which side is the obverse. I like to think its because the TPG is confused. Sometimes. however, it's because...

To be fair... we aren't saying we agree with you. We don't know you at all. We're saying we need to see pictures of what you describe. There are...
What was slabbed "reverse"? When it comes to world coins, the TPGS are wildly inconsistent with what they slab as obverse vs. reverse. Even when...
Old men and young men both have the same in common - to afford rare coins, they have to save disposable income to spend it on commodities like...
I've followed this coin across multiple threads now. I still have no idea if it is a modern or contemporary counterfeit, all I know is it is a...
If 1986 was my first birthday..... that means 1985 was my birthyear...... that means I'm 34..... I'll accept "you devil." I don't think "old"...
I would assume that the "ordinal" number is the sequential number. The first one he bought would be 001, second 002 and so forth.
Welcome to the forum. Absolutely not, 100% no, no way should an 1811 half have a reeded edge. If what you are calling is a reeded edge was...
