The large cent is too hard to grade with those pictures, but I would guess to start with XF, but from the looks of the color and possible...
If I was her I would take the 1836 to a dealer just to verify it was real. I could see someone being told it was fake and just dumping it on the...
Well looks like they still have one auction up:...
Too me it looks like the lighting was just different. In the first the untoned area it looks like glare and in the second it looks like frost....
I agree with RLM - it is good advice. Of course we might disagree on what is junk, but overall your best value is with graded coins. And the...

Depends - certain keys like some of the 1793 cents I would recommend buying from a knowledgeable dealer or certified. OOOPs I assumed when you...
