Oldest Federal US - 1795 Flowing Hair $1: [ATTACH] Oldest Colonial American (as defined by Red Book) - 1723 Rosa Americana Penny (I also have a...
I've probably spent upwards of an hour on a coin before giving up on it, but not often. I've also probably spent close to that before realizing...
It looks like there's old gunk in the R of DOLLAR, possibly caked in silver polish. Likewise the M of AMERICA and N of ONE, the bow, the right...
The dollar is nowhere near VF25. VG10 or F12 is probably what it would grade. It's a $950 coin, frequently available through major auctions in...
WB-2 also has a repunched 1, although this might not be visible on lower grades.
It is a spot, which is a pity, since it's otherwise a nice AU coin. I don't think acetone will budge it. If it bothers you, I'd look for another...

Looks like VAM 7A.
Fair enough, and a legitimate reason for wanting a coin in a holder.
If your LCS is worth anything, they'll look at the coins you want to submit and give you further guidance as to which ones you should and...
If I ask a price, that's not negotiating The Price. I have no expectation that the coin will be there if I return later for it, although the...
Feels like an AU58 to me. Also has a couple nasty spots that should be removed. Not worth grading. Go to a coin show and look at a 66 or 67 in...
Don't bother looking for a medieval 4. There isn't one defined in Unicode.
Better to start a new thread than to ask a new question in an existing one, but I think your coin is VAM 11A.
Hard to say if the fingerprint on a coin is as old as the coin in most cases. I have seen fingerprints on GSA CC Morgans, though. These were...
Separate names with a comma.
