Your coin appears to be a heavily worn example of a normally struck coin. It is not a broadstrike.
If I had to guess, I'd say you got it for that price because it is not actually EF - it is VF-30 at best. It is attractive and doesn't have any...
Lets be generous and say that's about a 30 degree arc, in the k5 position. Given that a circle has 360 degrees, there's about a 1:12 chance that...
Sure, there may have been a bill. But there is absolutely zero chance of it happening. So the fact that it is happening would be a rumor.
That is a rumour. It is a silly rumour, but its the stuff of numis-myth and legend.
Do you have before and after pictures to prove/illustrate that? I personally have submitted about a dozen coins to NCS and have been well pleased...
Haha. Hahahaahahah. Hahahaahahaha. Oh, that's a good one.
Yes, the 1943D usually comes well struck. And yes, that coin is a typical example of the date. And yes, that would be considered a Full Thumb example.
Well, its a crying shame that he ruined two perfectly good coins to make those counterfeits. At least we know what coins he destroyed, so we can...
For the uninitiated: what is interesting/special about these? That is, why did you want one so badly to purchase a porous/holed somewhat-low-grade...
I agree with your assessment. I'd put it at a low VF, and its too bad about the gouge in the field in front of her face. The rest of the coin...
45 might be a little high, but I am comfortable with this coin at 40. Look at the amount of luster left - I would expect to see that on an EF...
Very nice color on that piece, Brandon.
Let's just say I trust Heritage to do what they said, far more than I trust CAC to be consistent. If you are implying Heritage lied, then you...
Really? Well, I'll eat my hat now. Your pics really fooled me.
Cool, thanks. My problem is, I don't know *anything* about ancient coins. That's why I want something even more general than that - something...
That looks like a perfectly attractive EF-AU $5 Lib. If you want the coin, I see no reason why you shouldn't buy it. Completed sales on Ebay have...
What are you seeing that makes you think its cleaned? Light cleaning that has retoned will receive a straight grade, as long as it is market...
This isn't really "toning." It is the coin changing color, but not because of thin film interference. The red band you see is the copper's...
There is no way to know for sure, and those pictures aren't really the best for judging the surfaces, but I'm not seeing anything that jumps out...
