I'm not a fan of CAC . . . I say crack it.
That looks like a puckered insert. I suspect the coin to be graded ms65, but feel it could grade MS66.
You have what appears to be a transfer die for counterfeiting a 1956 Roosevelt Dime. Others have raised the possibility that this is a casting...
If you don't need the money, it's a good coin to keep. If you do, but not urgently, I'd hold out for $2750. If you need the money now, I'd...
You are mistaken Dave . . . that is the very same coin, albeit in a different holder. Evidently NGC was less conservative than PCGS. I think any...
The coin in the PCGS calendar is VERY DIFFERENT from that in the images posted by @messydesk. First, his is a TEN, and the subject coin is a...

I collected the clad business strikes, avoiding the proofs and silvers. In my experience, Denver issues come nice almost universally, and...
Affirmative, but seldom is a halogen available when buying coins.
Sorry Paddy, I accidentally wrote "extremely difficult to overlook" and have since edited to "extremely difficult to detect". I wish they were...
Here's the best I can do in writing . . . Because of their fineness, and perfectly parallel orientation, the wheel marks usually are apparent...
Wheel marks are very easily overlooked, even victimizing dealers sometimes. It's far easier to show someone in person, but I'll try to describe...
Separate names with a comma.
