More likely a piece of string (thread from a rag) than a wire Charmy. Mint workers use rags to wipe down the dies or the presses on a regular...
Has to be more to it than that. All of them from '47 thru '58 had the same holders, but only the '58 is really known for spectacular toning. Sure...
Not so, a scratch is a scratch and always will be. But PCGS conveniently "chooses" to ignore scratches and other forms of damage sometimes....
You can say they are even if you like, but trust me, there are many who know they are not. PCGS is more lenient with this special designation just...
No, they are not. Quite often fakes are produced from dies or castings that are not copied from genuine coins. I have even seen fakes with the...
OK Dutchman, now you tell us what you think about the coin as you apparently don't agree with the assigned grade. Otherwise why would you think we...
Seriously doubt you'll ever find a complete set, but you find many right here - http://www.coinpage.com
Depends, what is the gold fineness in this coin ? Not all of them are .900 or higher fineness. So if it is say .500 - then it wouldn't be a good...

I also agree that the coin should have been body-bagged. On a coin the size of a quarter that scratch on the wing is more than enough to bag a...
No way it'd make 64 IMO - 63.
As with most things you will get varying answers depending upon who you ask. But it has been my experience that NGC is better (more strict) with...
I stand corrected in regard to the placement of the denomination/assayer marks. Still think the coin is a fake though.
I agree the coin shows lots of wear. Also agree that it likely came from the ground.
Well, as usual I'm gonna disagree with most - only the other way this time :eek: I think the coin would make 64 quite readily. Those hits on...
What I want to know is how they came up with that VG8 grade ???????? Looks to be a G4 at the best to me. Might even be AG !!!
The result of MS 70 would be my guess.
According to an article in the recent Coin World, many are selling for 50% or less of what they last sold for.
