Actually, the surfaces are remarkably clean. Spectacularly so. I'm guessing that, in hand, the luster is superb. These are why the coin got a 67....
From the closeup pictures, I would have graded it 64 with an outside chance at 65. From the full coin pictures, I'd grade it 65+ with an outside...
These are "struck through grease." Incredibly common, and worth no premium. Spend them.
As many others have said: 1.) That coin is EF. 2.) That scratch is about 50/50 whether it would straight grade or not. To add to that: 1.)...
I have seen maybe 2 or 3 Ikes that I liked. Sorry, but this isn't one of them. I like the pink/purple/green colors at the center of the...
Not sure what you are looking at, but the wear I see is on her hip, breast, and the eagle's breast.

How many times have we seen threads here on Cointalk where the poster asks "how much is this coin worth that I just bought." Well, you see, you...
No, that is a B, for Billion. Many dates of Lincolns have mintages in the billions. And, if there is a weakness in a design, the stresses will...

Congrats! Finishing any set is an accomplishment, and the Walkers can be challenging in the early dates. They will look very attractive in a...
His expertise would be frustrated here. It seems like 79% of the posts on CT are "how valuable is my mangled piece of pocket change?", followed by...
Are you going to reveal the answer?
I'm curious what your numbers 8-2 mean here. Do you mean there are 8 signs of AT vs 2 signs of NT? Could you elaborate and explain what you mean...
Well, if your friend wants to pay 25x what the coin is worth, I guess that's his choice. I'll ignore the price of breakfast, and call that a...
Not a single one of these criteria is present on the coin...
If you look at the picture, it is very clearly in a PCGS holder...
That would be Bill Jones. He posts over on the NGC forums. His type set would make anyone drool, but the rest of his collection is just as nice.
A what?
