Do not have a copy of Menzel, and have never seen any example in any book with the 8 on the left like that one.
Fair enough Jim, how about showing us pics of the other coins that you say have the same marks.
Yes, you can have Morgans without frosty devices, but they are unusual. Downright unheard of with some date/mint combinations. Depending on your...
There is no free lunch in numismatics - period. And there are very few bargains. The real problem is that the majority of collectors would not...
These pieces can be stunning in higher grades, beautiful in any grade ! Another nice type for your collection Conrad :thumb:
I think most world collectors would classify that a Good Very Fine. It's not quite XF IMO.
The coin has 1 glaring mistake - the 8 is on the wrong side of the coin. I know of no example, from any mint or date, ever found where the 8 is on...
Well, were I judging it I'd say harshly cleaned as well. The area just above the date is the most telling IMO. By the same token, yes there are...
Agree, XF details but damaged. Net grade low VF at best and probably F.
Works for me ;)
My point is this ahearn, a typical coin (silver) from the Atocha sells for say $3000. You can buy the exact same coin for, without the Atocha...
Clembo has it pegged. 90% or more of the dealers would do the same. The rest will offer to pay even less.
Were I grading it I'd say 64. There are a few hits on the obv, hair and collar are the worst, rest are minor. But the hit in the center of the...
Sounds like ya did pretty good Jim :thumb: Would like to see closeups of the two that came back as cleaned. Be interesting just to examine them.
You're allowed to have your opinion. But when it comes to the rules, your opinion doesn't count. edit - should have said - the opinion of the...
OK guys, bottom line is this. If Speedy felt a need to edit or remove pics then I would too. So would Peter. I have said in many previous...
Can't swear to it, but I think the e is silent.
Don't misunderstand - I used to buy, just as an example, 10 1880-S Morgans, all graded by PCGS as MS64, then say 6 in 65 etc. Then 10 by NGC,...
Quite true, but no collector who knows anything about coins will pay 10 times or more what the coins are actually worth either. Only tourist who...
Tough to tell for sure on cam/ucam designation based on the pics, But I'd say 66UCAM.
