Good start. Look also at: the date, the headband, the hair details, the dentils, all lettering, the stars, the eagle's head, the eagle's wings,...
I don't know about attributing these. The odds are not in your favor, however.... NC stands for "Non-collectible." These varieties are very...
As long as it has been removed from the environment of the foreign contaminant, the toning should stop. The contaminant is no longer present, so...
I think its probably 63FBL, but I can't see the top left quadrant of the lines well enough to be sure. The obverse toning is quite attractive.
As it turns out, you won't get a different answer posting it in 4 different subforums on two different sites. I believe you have gotten the same...
Where is the scratch on that first one? Not being familiar with the design, I'm not seeing it. The cleaned ones are all fairly obvious,...
Sure. But first, compare the coin in the OP to this genuine example (graded 63, from the Heritage archives, sold for $282k), and tell me what...
Clearly split serifs, strong doubling, and nice rounded secondary image.... I'd say you definitely hit the jackpot here. Nice pair of DDOs.
The streaky starburst pattern is characteristic of a very late die state. It strikes a bunch of coins, and the metal movement wears on the die....
The key date isn't a tell. There are plenty of raw key date coins. Just because it is a key date means absolutely nothing. There are about a...
I could tell the coin in the OP was fake immediately. To those who didn't, and gave it a grade.... might be time to look at some more genuine...
Post mint damage. Worth a cent or less.
Tidy House Morgans are well known, and quite collectible. They are well known for their attractive blue colors. Its unfortunate that the tops were...
Definitely a fake. The fakes outnumber the genuine examples 100:1 on these, if not more.
VF is probably a little optimistic, and the reverse looks to have problems. Can't tell if the obverse has been cleaned in those pictures, but...
That is very attractive toning, but there is a lot better out there. I'd expect a premium for it, but not a really large one. Retail price guide...
There is a recent thread which talks about how machine doubling looks on incuse design elements. You coin matches this closely - you have a bit of...
What were you expecting, and what did you see? If you were expecting the deep mirrors the picture in the OP appears to show, that is highly...
While we can all appreciate your family's service, that is not a Medal of Honor. That is a very specific title for a very specific medal, and is...
I thought these were supposed to be "commemorating" national parks and monuments. What national parks are those top two supposed to be? They look...
Separate names with a comma.
