No. These are "magicians coins" and are made from two genuine coins.
They are better than raw, true. But the number of problem and misgraded coins is much higher in ANACS and ICG. I would not recommend a beginner...
That's why I went with a 55. You could split the difference and call it a 55+ ;)
Impossible to tell from those pics. Probably 64 or 65.
From the TruView, it looks 65FBL (it meets PCGS's lax "standards," but it wouldn't be FBL at NGC). From the slab pics, 64 looks like the right...
Machine damage.
I don't see anything that indicates an RPM to me. It looks like machine damage.
I've never seen one of these slabbed. The cost of grading and error attribution really isn't worth it. However, that is a nice MAD.
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but every single one of those raw coins has problems. I don't know who you are buying from, but you should...
Okbustchaser has fully described the term "sight-unseen." This isn't just his interpretation, or his opinion of the matter. This is the...
I enjoyed the New Orleans mint. There was a book recently published "The Numismatourist," that talks about all of the significant numismatic...
From those pics, I'd bid 55. It appears attractive, but the lack of luster in the fields is making me lean towards a brush of wear. The high...
These are worth only slightly over their silver value. Certainly not $10. Recently completed Ebay sales appear to be in the $7-$8 range.
I'm sorry if I offended you. I wasn't talking about you - I was answering/expounding on what Dave had said. I wasn't directing this to you...
That is precisely the point. There is a scratch behind her head. We can agree on that. The question you are asking is, is that scratch bad enough...
I can't say for sure (grading proofs from pics is nearly impossible). However, with that disclaimer, it looks like it has a good shot (from teh...
Sweet! Hope you enjoy it :)
Poor Anna looks like she lost a knife fight... Put me in the 62PL camp. It may be DMPL, but I just can't tell from these pics. If I was...
Kennedy PLs are known in 1985, but they don't become common until later in the 80s. The late 90's are quite commonly found PL, and the 2010's are...
1974 looks 65+. The strike is weak, and there are enough tickmarks to keep it from 66. The 78D is 64, tops. The scrape on his cheek kills the...
Separate names with a comma.
