How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...
I agree that wear can sometimes be visible in the open fields of a coin before it's obvious on the high points. Disturbed luster in the fields is...
Yes, this is definitely an option I considered. I too was on the 64/65 fence.

Did these actually circulate in America? That one is gorgeous.

Man, I'm good. Working on a new/old project. Will reveal soon ;)
My impression of that place is limited solely to when I do google searches for topics and that forum comes up as a link. My impression, based on...
Is the other side incuse? Like its the copper but literally backwards? That's crazy.
Thanks for playing the game, and explaining your reasoning. I appreciate it.
Sincerest condolences on your loss. However, I think that coin grades quite a bit higher than 62. I peg it at 64 at a minimum, and honestly...
No. Very much, definitively, absolutely... no.
