I'm going conservative at MS 64 ....looks like a clean cheek and nice fields but the luster potentially held it back from gem
I am thinking it is also something the mint did to cause this. I just looked at several Peace Dollars at auction and the photos looked good...
I have seen that type of toning on Peace Dollars before and it is considered "original" or "market acceptable" by the grading companies. I am not...
It would be nice to hear from someone that knows Peace Dollars better but I have also heard about the planchets being different from Morgans. That...
You're on a streak! Nice find!
Looks like a nice AU and maybe even a slider (that can slide up to low MS)
The answer is "it depends" (not a great answer, I know). Smaller spots might be ignored or spots on lower graded coins can have little to no...
Many blast white coins have been dipped and many were done properly. It is the ones that were done improperly that have the spots show...
ICG still has the $10 special for cointalk members (plus shipping fees): "Write Cointalk Special rate $10, attn Skip and include your CT...
Milk spots can impact the grade (make it lower). The example you found I would guess was dipped improperly and the spots developed after the coin...
Those are cool finds! The silver nickel in a cent roll is especially unique! Keep sharing your finds as it is enjoyable to read about. :)
I was going to say MS 62 and semi-pl (so no pl on the holder)....a grade high and a designation short...
I don't think it's worth the $30-$40 grading fee at PCGS/NGC plus other costs (like shipping) that will push your costs above the value of the...
It looks like a slider to me (AU 58 to low MS) with decent toning. It has the look of coins stored in a velvet case, which can transfer some color...
Some dealers price their CACG coins using the premium values for a PCGS/NGC coin with a sticker. One can argue that does not make sense since the...
It took me some times but I have had several now. Some I have moved on from but two are currently in the collection. There is a generic plastic...
It's definitely an annoying situation. I understand wanting the coin and at the same time not being happy with the service. Since there is no...
If you can replicate the ones I showed, I might have to invest in your venture. :p
I had to use that method as well. Posting sometimes is slow too (I ended up making a triple post :p).
That's cool!
