That would have been a really nice coin, without having been cleaned :( I can't see it well in the pictures, but are you sure it is hairlines...
A repaired coin will definitely look better, and definitely sell for higher than a holy coin. It will still sell at a considerable discount to...
Faaaaaaaaaake.
Just saw this interview with the Wings guy, as he reviews a box of coins submitted by a CoinWeek writer. It is interesting to hear Lance talk...
I usually approach a table by flailing my arms wildly about, and swinging my backpack in a circular arc. It usually works to clear out any...
As some of you may know, I have been pursuing a type set of Prooflike coinage for some time now. I am also interested in Bust Halves. Thus, a...
Caveat: interpreting those pictures is nearly impossible. I'd guess maybe 64PL. Plenty of guessers will say it has a star, but I don't think it...

Grading coins is the single most important skill for a coin collector to have. Plenty of books will show you pictures of coins in various grades,...

Are you even reading my posts? No, it wasn't. Compare this with authentic coins of the type. This crudely cast fake isn't even close. Your logic...
Hahahaha, that seems really extreme. So are you going to melt all coins that have been cleaned as well? What about other antiques? If a...
A magician's "coin" is not a coin. Magician's coins, by definition, are fake. Sure, it can be a genuine fake - but it is not an error of any sort...
It may have possibly been cleaned a long time ago (many coins were). However, this coin appears to have regained most of its patina. I'm not...
No, it is definitely not real. It appears to be a very crudely produced copy, probably for a magicians trick as mentioned earlier. Sometimes,...
You do whatever you want with it, of course. If it were mine, however, I'd sell it. I would take that money, save some extra cash, and then buy...
If someone offered to *give* me a nice, original, problem free R-4 or higher in VG-F, sure, I'd take it. But if someone offered to *sell* me...
